Xtimo AI: a phone resting on architectural drawings in warm daylight

The problem.

Estimation is the bottleneck on every construction bid. A quantity surveyor reads a set of architectural drawings by hand, measures every element, and builds a bill of quantities line by line. For a typical project that took up to a week of work, and it fell on the most senior, most expensive people in the firm. Slow estimates mean fewer bids, and fewer bids mean lost revenue.

What we built.

Xtimo AI reads architectural drawings the way a surveyor does, but in minutes. Built on a vision model, it identifies elements across a full drawing set, measures quantities, and generates a structured bill of quantities aligned to recognised standards. A surveyor reviews and signs off. The machine does the takeoff.

We delivered the full cycle: the model pipeline, the platform, and the product around it.

  • Analyses the drawing set and detects elements
  • Automates the quantity takeoff
  • Generates a standards-aligned bill of quantities
  • Keeps a human in the loop for review and export

The result.

  • Cuts estimation time from up to a week to under two hours
  • Moves senior surveyors off manual takeoff and onto judgment and bidding
  • Speeds up tender turnaround — more bids in the same week
The takeoff that used to swallow a surveyor's week now runs while they make coffee. They check it, not build it.

Xtimo shows what a full-cycle build looks like when we run it ourselves. The Crit finds the workflow in your operation that deserves the same treatment — two weeks, a roadmap and a number.
