Automated takeoff

Counts, lengths, areas - extracted in one pass over the sheet set.

Takeoff is the input to every estimate, bid, and schedule. Kamai automates the part that's mechanical: counting symbols, measuring polylines, computing areas.

Most takeoff tools wait for you to click each item. Kamai parses the full sheet set up front and presents a complete count, ready for review.

Every quantity is keyed back to its source - sheet, layer, and the vector geometry it was derived from. Nothing is invented; every number has provenance.

How it works

From sheet set to structured output.

01
Drop in the sheet set

PDF - single sheet, multi-sheet, or a folder. Multi-level, multi-discipline.

02
Kamai parses every sheet

Geometry walked layer-by-layer. Scale, legend, and schedule resolved per sheet.

03
Counts and quantities emitted

Typed records - count, length, area, volume - keyed back to drawing.

04
Review and export

Browse in the Kamai app, export to your estimating tool, or pull via API.

What you get

The outputs at the end of the pipeline.

  • Symbol and fixture counts
  • Linear footage by type
  • Area by room, zone, or wall type
  • Volume by element
  • Schedule-typed bills of material

Takeoff - automated.
