About
Togal AI Takeoff is the industry's most advanced pre-construction technology, purpose-built for construction estimators and contractors. Using computer vision and AI, Togal automatically detects, measures, compares, and labels project spaces and features directly from architectural drawings — regardless of file type — with up to 98% accuracy. Designed by estimators for estimators, Togal eliminates the tedious manual measurement work that traditionally takes days, compressing the process to minutes. Teams can complete takeoffs up to 5x faster than conventional methods, freeing estimators to focus on high-value relationships and strategic tasks. Togal is a cloud-based platform, enabling real-time collaboration across multiple team members on the same takeoff simultaneously. Its drawing comparison feature allows users to quickly identify and quantify changes between drawing sets with a single click — critical for managing revisions across complex projects. The platform also features Togal.CHAT, an AI assistant that lets users "talk" to their construction plans and ask natural language questions about project details. Togal supports a wide range of trades including drywall, electrical, plumbing, painting, general contracting, landscaping, and more. Trusted by thousands of professional builders worldwide, Togal is suited for general contractors, specialty trade estimators, and construction management firms looking to modernize their pre-construction workflows.
