AI concrete takeoff & estimating software
Concrete is cubic yards and the forms, rebar, and finish around them. JobReadyIQ reads the foundation and flatwork plans and returns volume, reinforcement, and finish so you can bid the pour without longhand geometry.
Run a concrete plan free →What JobReadyIQ reads for concrete contractors:
- →Cubic yards for footings, stem walls, and slabs
- →Flatwork square footage (drives, walks, patios) and finish
- →Rebar and mesh by the structural notes
- →Form linear footage for footings and walls
- →Thickened edges and special details flagged, not double-counted
…bid-ready in about 60–90 seconds, with a code-cited inspection checklist and every quantity tied back to the sheet it came from. You review and own the final number.
How a concrete takeoff actually runs
- 01
Two ways in: plans or an address
Got a foundation plan? Drop it in. Bidding exterior flatwork with no plans at all? Type the address — satellite analysis measures driveways, walks, and patios straight from aerial imagery, with a confidence read on every number. (Utah today, more states rolling out.)
- 02
The foundation plan becomes volume
Footings, stem walls, slabs, and pads come back as cubic yards computed from the plan dimensions — depth, width, and thickness off the details, not a per-square-foot guess. Slab outlines and footing runs are drawn on the plan itself so you can verify what was measured before you trust it.
- 03
Rebar, forms, and finish follow
Reinforcement comes off the structural notes, form footage off the footing and wall runs, and flatwork carries its finish. Overlapping pours — a slab and its thickened edge — are flagged once, not counted twice.
- 04
A pre-pour checklist you walk in with
Every read ships with a code-cited checklist: footing depth against frost line (IRC R403.1.4), anchor bolt spacing, vapor retarder under slab, compaction notes. Items the set can't confirm are flagged STOP-WORK to resolve on paper — before the truck is scheduled.
Concrete estimating — straight answers.
Does it calculate cubic yards?+
Yes — it computes volume for footings, stem walls, and slabs from the dimensions on the foundation plan, and returns flatwork as area with the finish.
Does it estimate rebar and forms?+
It pulls rebar/mesh from the structural notes and form footage for footings and walls. Ambiguous or overlapping pours are flagged so a slab and its thickened edge aren't counted twice.
