On-Screen Takeoff and AI

Looking for AI takeoff? Here is the AI alternative to On-Screen Takeoff

On-Screen Takeoff is a desktop tool where a person does the measuring. If you are searching for AI takeoff, that is a different category: Boon is AI construction estimating software that reads the drawings itself, does the takeoff automatically, checks the specs, and returns a bid-ready package in Slack.

Manual takeoff vs. AI takeoff

The gap is not a feature list — it is who does the work. Desktop takeoff software organizes your measuring. AI takeoff does the measuring and hands you the result to review.

Who measures

You vs. the model.

On-Screen Takeoff: an estimator clicks every condition. Boon: the Construction Vision Model reads every sheet and returns quantities across trades.

Accuracy you can check

Published F1 scores.

Boon publishes per-trade F1 accuracy scores — electrical, mechanical, architectural — so the AI claim is verifiable, not marketing.

Beyond quantities

Specs enter the loop.

Boon reads the spec book with the drawings and flags mismatches, a step no manual measuring tool performs.

What the AI returns

The output is not a quantity file you import somewhere else. It is a bid-ready package delivered to your Slack channel, with the review pass baked in.

Bid-ready package

From plans to bid.

Quantities, spec cross-check, and flagged mismatches arrive together, ready for pricing and review.

Human in the loop

You keep the judgment.

The AI handles the counting; your estimator reviews, adjusts, and prices. Speed without surrendering the call.

No install

Cloud, not desktop.

Nothing per-seat, nothing Windows-only. Upload from any browser; results land in Slack.

See Boon on your own plans

Book a 20-minute call, or skip the call entirely: email a plan set to plans@getboon.ai and the bid-ready package comes back to you.
