Build more homes, not more spreadsheets. Tectonic AI reads residential plans and generates accurate takeoffs for framing, electrical, plumbing, and every trade in your home building projects.
Whether you build custom homes, production housing, or handle residential renovations, Tectonic understands the unique challenges of residential construction. From single-family homes to multi-family projects, our AI adapts to your workflow.
Common pain points that slow down your estimating process
Custom floor plans, varying finishes, and homeowner changes make each project unique. Manual estimating for every variation eats up your time and margin.
Residential projects often have thinner margins than commercial work. One missed item or underestimated quantity can turn a profitable job into a loss.
Homeowners want quick quotes. If your estimate takes a week, they have already moved on to another builder. Fast, accurate bids win more work.
Managing takeoffs for framing, mechanicals, finishes, and more requires juggling multiple estimates. Keeping everything aligned is a constant challenge.
AI-powered solutions designed for your workflow
Upload residential floor plans and Tectonic AI identifies rooms, walls, doors, windows, and fixtures in minutes. No more manual measuring of every detail.
Get separate takeoffs for each trade: framing lumber, drywall sheets, electrical devices, plumbing fixtures, and more. Price each trade accurately.
Save common house plans as templates. When you build the same model again, start from your previous takeoff and adjust for variations.
When homeowners request changes, quickly re-run affected areas. See exactly what the change costs before committing.
“We went from spending two days on estimates to finishing them in an afternoon. For custom homes where every plan is different, that speed is game-changing.”
