Togal.AI

Togal.AI applies machine learning to construction takeoff, automating the measurement step that other tools speed up but still require an estimator to perform by hand. The company claims work completed five times faster, and customer accounts describe the change concretely rather than in percentages.

An estimator at a commercial painting contractor reports completing small projects in 30 minutes to an hour and larger ones in two to three hours, including time spent reviewing specifications. Another describes the software as equivalent to having a team of support staff on every job in a small but busy estimating department, which is a useful way to read the value for firms that cannot add headcount.

Beyond automated detection, the product analyses any drawing regardless of file type and compares drawing sets to quantify changes with a single click. That comparison capability addresses one of the most error prone tasks in estimating, where a revised drawing set arrives and the estimator must find what moved. Togal.CHAT allows an estimator to query construction plans conversationally.

Cloud based collaboration lets multiple team members work on the same takeoff in real time. The published Growth plan is 299 dollars per month per user. Estimators evaluating it should test the AI detection against their own drawing standards, since automated measurement accuracy depends heavily on how plans are drafted.
