Struction
Struction is AI-assisted construction estimating software that builds bills of materials, quantity takeoffs, and priced scopes from drawings using LLMs, computer vision, and object detection.
Struction markets itself as an AI estimator that can produce a full project estimate in about ten minutes, or move toward a guaranteed maximum price in days, according to its public marketing copy (Struction, 2026). The product combines large language models, computer vision, and proprietary object detection to read drawings and answer trade-style questions about what sheets and schedules imply for quantities and scopes.
Users interact through an AI chat that can adjust scopes of work and assemblies, with the site showing examples where the assistant reasons about door schedules, wall types, and equipment locations drawn from sheet references. Struction also highlights AI-embedded drawings so the system can tie takeoffs, specifications, and components back to the documents users upload.
Outputs include a bill of materials with line items, quantities, unit pricing sourced from third parties as described on the site, and scopes suitable for breaking work out to trades. The workflow is pitched at builders who want automated takeoff and pricing support rather than manual spreadsheet-only methods.
Pricing, regional availability, and exact file-format limits should be confirmed with the vendor; the public marketing site emphasizes a waitlist-style signup rather than self-serve checkout.

Frequently asked questions
How fast does Struction claim to produce an estimate?
The marketing site states that Struction can estimate a whole project in about ten minutes in some cases, or help obtain a GMP over a longer window, depending on project size and inputs. Treat these figures as vendor claims and validate with a pilot on your own drawing sets.
What technologies does Struction say it uses?
Public copy references large language models, computer vision, and proprietary object detection to read drawings and produce takeoffs and pricing. Ask the vendor how models are hosted, what data is retained, and whether your projects can stay in a private tenant.
Can Struction answer questions about specific sheets and schedules?
The site shows examples where the assistant cites sheet numbers and schedule rows when explaining casing, studs, insulation, and equipment placement. Accuracy will depend on drawing quality, title block consistency, and how well your PDFs match the formats the product supports.
Does Struction replace a human estimator?
The product is framed as automation for takeoff and pricing support, not as a substitute for professional judgment on bids, codes, and contract risk. Most teams should still review scopes, exclusions, and vendor pricing before submitting proposals.
Where does pricing data come from in Struction?
Marketing text mentions prices and labor from third-party sources alongside quantities from takeoffs. Confirm whether those sources are configurable to your region, whether you can import your own price books, and how often numbers refresh.
