Option 1
In-house takeoffs
- Time per set
- 8–40 hours
- Accuracy
- High quality, but tight deadlines force risky shortcuts.
- Domain knowledge
- Your team has it, but lacks the time to apply it.
- Cost
- $$$ (High fixed overhead)
The first agent‑native takeoff platform
Estimators burn hours clicking every fixture by hand, or outsource the takeoff and surrender quality control. VAWN deploys visual agents to read drawings, map systems, and output structured BOMs. You get scale without compromise.
Built by the team behind PlanGrid + Autodesk Construction Cloud.
SECTION 01 // TAKEOFFS
Distribution
Read panels and SLDs like an engineer.
VAWN parses panel schedules, identifies feeders, and walks SLDs from the utility to each downstream device. Turning the most labor intensive pages into structured data.
- Panel schedules: Every breaker, load, and spare extracted into a clean table.
- SLDs: Feeder runs, transformer kVAs, and bus ratings parsed automatically.
- Cross-reference: Devices on the floor plan are linked to their circuits on the SLD.
Devices
Count and associate every device.
VAWN recognizes symbols across architectural, electrical, and mechanical drawings and tie each one back to its schedule entry so quantities and details stay in sync.
Commodities
Conduit routing at the drawing's scale.
VAWN connects each device back to its panel using the drawing's own scale, producing accurate footage for conduit, wire, and supports. No more approximations.
- Sizing: Conduit and wire sizes derived from circuit load and breaker spec.
- BOM ready: Output flows straight into your existing takeoff or purchasing workflow.
SECTION 02 // ASK VAWN
Chat agent
Ask your project anything.
Instantly find answers to:
- Where is the power detail for central control room 223?
- What is powered by circuit EH1A-7?
- Describe the electrical system of this project.
SECTION 03 // THE THIRD OPTION
Three ways to do takeoffs.
Most teams are forced to choose between burning their estimators' hours or shipping plans overseas. We built the third option.
Option 2
Outsourced takeoff firm
- Time per set
- 2–5 day turnaround
- Accuracy
- ?? — no audit trail.
- Domain knowledge
- External — requires constant training and retraining.
- Cost
- $$ (Variable, but eats margins)
Option 3
VAWN
- Time per set
- Minutes
- Accuracy
- 100% auditable. Every count visually linked to a page reference.
- Domain knowledge
- Maps directly to your company's specific assemblies and pricing workflows.
- Cost
- $ (Scalable software economics)
