PlanSwift with Takeoff Boost™ AI-Powered Tools Release Notes (2026-05-06)
This update to PlanSwift includes Takeoff Boost™ which adds exciting AI-Powered Automation Tools such as:
- Auto Takeoff - Automated Takeoff that delivers a Page of linear, area, and count takeoff in seconds.
- Auto Count - if Auto Takeoff’s 12 Count objects are enough, you can virtually count “anything” on your plans.
- Auto Scale - Auto Scale determines what the correct scale is for each Page.
- Auto Bookmark - creates Bookmarks to plan details and Shortcuts to those Bookmarks, in minutes.
These options are all located on the Tools ribbon bar:
New Features: Takeoff Boost: AI-Powered Automation Tools
Auto Takeoff
Takeoff Boost’s Auto Takeoff delivers a full page of takeoff results in seconds. Brought to you by the company who defined Digital Takeoff, Auto Takeoff is ConstructConnect’s proprietary AI-Powered automated takeoff solution that can deliver your first draft of takeoff results 95% faster than doing it manually.
- Fast? Typically, you can expect a full Page of takeoff results in under a minute.
- Accurate? Users tell us Takeoff Boost is 95% accurate, and improving.
Let’s get this out of the way, no technology or automation can take the place of a seasoned, knowledgeable estimator. Takeoff Boost is not “complete, automated takeoff” that a user can use, with the press of a magic button, to estimate an entire project. Takeoff Boost gives you a great head start on your takeoff, and our Artificial Intelligence models are improving all the time, but as the estimator, you still play a critical role in bringing “human experience” to review and fine-tune the project.

Auto Count
This isn’t your grandpa’s Auto Count, this is all-new, AI-powered Auto Count that uses technology honed by Takeoff Boost to count anything you identify on your plans. This is a great additional to PlanSwift, especially for electrical contractors and the plumbing and HVAC trades.
Simply select whatever you want to count (define the object) and then select the Pages you want to search on, then let Auto Count do it its thing.
Read the User Guide article for step-by-step instructions here: Using the All-New AI-Powered Auto Count
Auto Scale
Setting Page Scale is critical to generating accurate takeoff results. Using Auto Scale, you can set the scale on your entire Plan Set, or any number of selected Pages in seconds.
Check out how to use Auto Scale here: Using Auto Scale
Auto Bookmark
Gone are the days of manually creating bookmarks to make navigating between floor plans and detail pages easier. Auto Bookmark does this for you, in seconds! There are two ways Auto Bookmarks works:
- Embedded Links - some PDFs include embedded cross-page links, if Auto Bookmark detects these, you will be prompted to use them. Typically these only point to a linked Page, not the actual detail, but the Bookmarks are created within seconds and are very useful.
- AI-Powered - if you opt to use AI, or if embedded links don’t exist in your plans, your plans are uploaded to our cloud servers where they are analyzed and then links on Architectural and Structural plans are automatically created to the details. This is more precise than embedded, but can take several minutes for the results to be returned. You can use PlanSwift to perform manual takeoff, annotations, or estimating while AI-powered Auto Bookmark is running.
Detailed instructions for using Auto Bookmark are here: Using Auto Bookmark
Reassign Takeoff
On the Takeoff Boost toolbar, you’ll find the Reassign Takeoff button, this allows you to select one or more takeoffs and reassign them to a different takeoff item or assembly.
Resource Center
There is a new Resource Center panel on the Home Tab that shows you ConstructConnect Announcements, Product Updates, and Training, Support, and Tips (Resources).

- There are options for users to choose from for their subscription/maintenance:
- PlanSwift Core Subscription or Premium Maintenance: includes unlimited access to Auto Count, Auto Scale, and Auto Bookmark, and Takeoff Boost.

- PlanSwift Standard (on-prem only): no access to any AI-powered features.
