Output: Production-grade quantity lists in YOUR format

CSV export directly into your budgeting software and procurement systems. TALO 80, TALO 2000, or custom format. When plans change, quantities auto-update — no recalculation from scratch.

The Problem

Construction's Most Repeated
Manual Process

Every construction project requires quantity calculations — and every stakeholder recalculates from scratch. The main contractor calculates, then every subcontractor recalculates independently because they don't trust others' numbers. When designs change, everyone starts over.

Times per project

Main contractor, then every subcontractor independently — the same scope measured over and over across the entire supply chain.

2-3 wk
Per calculation round

Manual consultants take weeks per project. The queue delays bidding, procurement, and project starts — compounding across every stakeholder.

Learning between projects

Every new project starts from scratch. Patterns from a 1,000-unit residential never inform the next one. Zero compounding efficiency.

Why Now

Four Forces Converging

Construction is at an inflection point. The technology, regulation, economics, and workforce dynamics have all aligned for AI-driven transformation.

Technology

AI Can Finally Read Construction Data

Multimodal AI can now interpret blueprints, BIM models, and PDFs like a human engineer. Construction's hardest data problem — unstructured 2D/3D documents — is finally solvable.

Regulation

BIM Mandates Creating Forced Demand

Finland's Building Act requires IFC BIM permit submissions. Over a third of EU countries now mandate BIM. The direction is clear and irreversible.

Economics

Margins Under Pressure

Global construction is growing to $16T by 2030, but EBIT margins average just 4.2%. Contractors urgently need AI-driven cost optimization to remain competitive.

Workforce

Workforce Shortage in Quantity Surveying

Hundreds of thousands of unfilled construction jobs globally. Aging QS workforce retiring with no pipeline. Domain expertise must be encoded into AI before it's lost.

How It Works

From Upload to Delivery in Three Steps

No complex setup. No manual data entry. Just upload your files and get results.

1

Upload Everything

Multi-discipline BIM models (architectural, structural, HVAC, electrical) plus all project PDFs — floor plans, schedules, specs, contracts. From ArchiCAD, Revit, Tekla, and more.

2

We Build Your Project Database

Full 3D geometry from IFC. PDFs parsed and extracted. Everything merged into one structured database — queryable, with country-specific codes.

3

Your Quantity Lists

Production-grade material quantity lists in YOUR format or local standards. CSV export directly into your budgeting software. Updates automatically when plans change.

See It In Action

Query your entire project — BIM geometry, PDF schedules, room lists, specs. Deterministic results backed by professional measurement standards.

  • Traceable, reproducible calculations
  • Full provenance on every measurement
  • Finnish, English, German, Swedish
  • Country-specific registries — local standards, codes, best practices

Trust & Audit

Contractor-Grade Numbers
You Can Stand Behind

Every delivery includes a signed Delivery Pack where every quantity is traceable, reproducible, and QC'd.

Goal: Make trust a product feature — numbers you can audit in minutes, not debates you rework for days.

What's in Every Delivery Pack

Reproducible results
Versioned inputs + deterministic pipeline — same input, same output
Full provenance
Each line item links to IFC element IDs and PDF page references
Multi-format reconciliation
IFC and PDF schedules cross-checked; mismatches auto-flagged
Tolerance & anomaly checks
Outliers, missing scope, unit issues, and duplicates detected
Revision delta report
What changed since last revision — added, removed, or changed quantities
QC summary
What was automated, reviewed, assumed, or estimated
Signed output
Named reviewer + timestamp + scope statement + limitations
Our Approach

We Don't Sell Tools — We Deliver Results

8root is a full-stack AI quantity takeoff company. You upload your files and receive production-grade quantity lists in your format — no new software to learn.

What you get

  • Finished quantity lists delivered to you — we do the processing
  • Multi-discipline IFC + 11 PDF types — full project scope
  • YOUR format — direct CSV export to your budgeting and ERP systems
  • Country-specific codes and standards — TALO 80, TALO 2000, and more

Built for Sustainability

Accurate quantity takeoffs directly reduce material waste and enable reliable carbon calculations. As regulations tighten around embodied carbon reporting, precise quantities become the foundation — not an afterthought.
