How does AI estimation work in The Blocks?

Upload plans (PDF) or take a photo on-site. The AI analyzes the project and generates a scope of work with quantities, materials, and labor. Then it pulls pricing from your cost catalog to produce a complete estimate you can review.

Is AI accurate enough for real bids?

AI generates a starting point — quantities, scope, and a cost breakdown based on your own cost catalog. You review, adjust, and approve before sending. The goal is to get the first draft in minutes instead of days, not to remove your judgment from the process.

What plan formats does the AI work with?

PDF construction plans are the most common input. The AI can also work from photos taken on-site. It identifies pages relevant to your trade so you don't scroll through hundreds of pages.

How AI Estimates Work

Instant Scope of Work

Upload plans or take a photo on-site. AI analyzes the project and generates a detailed scope of work with quantities, materials, and labor — ready to review in minutes.

Accurate Cost Breakdown

AI pulls from your cost catalog to generate pricing that matches your rates. Review, adjust, and approve — then send it as a proposal or feed it into your budget.

AI Finds Your Trade in the Files

No more scrolling through hundreds of pages. AI analyzes design files, identifies pages relevant to your trade, and breaks down each material — so you don't have to find it manually.
