Scope is scattered.
GRDs, diffusers, VAVs, fans, and hydronic equipment live across plans, schedules, and specs.
Every bid starts with another search.

For TAB Contractors
Stop Counting TAB Jobs By Hand
AutoTake.ai helps TAB contractors turn drawings and specs into first-pass component counts and estimate-ready data in a few minutes - not hours.
The bottleneck
TAB contractors lose time before the quote even starts.
Before pricing starts, someone has to open the drawings, find schedules, count air devices, count equipment, check specs, and build the first pass by hand.
Counts are rebuilt.
Estimators tally air devices and equipment one sheet at a time, then reconcile the same scope again.
Hours disappear before pricing begins.Pricing waits.
The estimate cannot move until counts, schedules, and assumptions have been organized into a usable first pass.

Estimate-ready TAB data your team can review.
Move from a blank estimate to an organized first pass with the source context still attached.
