Description
Kreo provides an advanced AI takeoff and estimating software designed specifically for the construction industry. This cloud-based platform leverages artificial intelligence to understand construction drawings, detect various elements, cross-reference data across multiple sheets, and automatically generate flexible reports that translate measurements into cost estimates.
At its core is Caddie, an AI agent that performs takeoff tasks autonomously. Caddie reads drawings, runs measurements, and delivers exact quantities under user control. Unlike a chatbot, it acts as an AI operator within the software. Kreo also features a Self-Serve Skill Builder, allowing users to create custom playbooks for repetitive tasks without coding. Pre-built playbooks, like CountFlow and Excel Template Builder, further streamline workflows.
The software's AI takeoff tools automate the detection, measurement, and counting of elements such as rooms, walls, doors, windows, and custom areas. Features like Auto Measure, One-click Area Measure, and Auto Count enable rapid quantification. The AI automatically classifies detected elements by type and size, providing meaningful results with names, types, and IDs. It can count matching elements across the entire project and distinguish between similar items for precise final counts.
Kreo's AI is built to understand construction drawings contextually, recognizing scale and intent without manual setup. It offers AI-Powered Zone Mapping to separate drawing areas like legends and title blocks for intelligent interaction. Voice interaction allows users to ask questions naturally and receive immediate responses. Cross-Reference Intelligence links any tag or element to related specifications and data. The AI Scope Builder analyzes plans, breaks down assemblies into materials, and generates editable scopes.
The platform supports various file formats including PDF, CAD, and images, with full vector-based drawing support. Features like 3D View Mode, Drawing Comparison, and Advanced Text Search enhance the takeoff process. Collaboration tools include contextual comments, markups, and team management for structured teamwork. Reporting is flexible, with Grid and Spreadsheet reports that stay connected to live data and can be configured using AI. Kreo also offers a no-code Items & Assemblies database for creating reusable project cost logic.
Kreo is trusted by AEC professionals worldwide, including quantity surveyors, cost estimators, and contractors, to win more bids and save time. Its cloud-based nature ensures accessibility from any location, improving team efficiency. The software aims to redefine how data, people, and technology collaborate in cost consultancy and estimation.
