Win more commercial projects with faster, more accurate estimates. Tectonic AI processes complex commercial plan sets and delivers detailed takeoffs that help you bid competitively and profitably.
Commercial projects demand precision at scale. From multi-story office buildings to sprawling retail centers, Tectonic handles the complexity of commercial construction with AI that understands large plan sets and repetitive floor layouts.
Common pain points that slow down your estimating process
Commercial projects often have hundreds of sheets. Manually taking off each floor, section, and detail takes weeks and ties up your best estimators.
A 10-story office building means measuring the same typical floor layout over and over. But each floor still has variations that need attention.
Commercial bid deadlines are tight. You need to price the job accurately while competing against contractors with larger estimating teams.
Commercial projects involve extensive coordination between architectural, structural, MEP, and specialty systems. Missing scope overlaps or gaps costs money.
AI-powered solutions designed for your workflow
Upload entire commercial plan sets at once. Tectonic processes hundreds of pages and organizes quantities by floor, zone, or system.
AI identifies typical floor layouts and calculates quantities for one floor, then multiplies for the tower. Variations on specific floors are flagged for review.
Generate takeoffs for every trade from one upload. Structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and finishes - all from the same plans.
Organize estimates by CSI division, building area, or however your bid package requires. Export in formats that match commercial bidding requirements.
“On a recent 200-page hospital project, Tectonic cut our takeoff time from two weeks to two days. We could actually review our numbers before the deadline instead of rushing to submit.”

Common questions about Tectonic for your use case
Tectonic is built for scale. Upload plan sets with hundreds of sheets, and our AI processes them efficiently. Plans are organized by discipline and floor level, with quantities compiled automatically.
Yes, Tectonic recognizes typical floor patterns. You can review quantities for a typical floor and apply them to multiple levels. Unique floors (ground floor, mechanical floors) are calculated separately.
Tectonic focuses on quantity takeoff from drawings. You can cross-reference specifications using your exported quantities. Integration with spec-reading tools is on our roadmap.
Tectonic allows you to organize and export quantities by CSI division, building area, or custom categories. This matches how commercial bid packages are typically structured.
Speed is our core advantage. Projects that took weeks to estimate manually are completed in days or hours. This gives you time to review numbers, analyze risk, and make strategic pricing decisions.
