Improvements
- Takeoff Boost™ now delivers more accurate net areas on complex plans and splits up rooms/hallways better.
Why is this Accuracy Improvement a Big Deal?
Net area accuracy continues to be one of the most important factors in Takeoff Boost's value to our customers. Over the holidays we made some improvements to our AI tech that addresses two specific pain points:
-
Missing areas on complex plans
-
On large, detailed plans with many rooms, Takeoff Boost was frequently missing corridors, hallways, and even entire rooms. This forced customers to manually add these areas, reducing the time savings Takeoff Boost provides.
-
The new model does a much better job identifying and drawing areas in these complex layouts.

| Prior to this update, Takeoff Boost missed several rooms on this complex plan | After this update, all the rooms have been taken off, as expected. |
-
Rooms being fused together
-
On plans where walls are drawn with thinner lines, Takeoff Boost would sometimes combine multiple rooms and hallways into one large area. Instead of getting square footage for each individual room, customers would get one giant “fused” area they couldn't use. They’d have to delete large sections of takeoff and redraw them manually.
-
The new model now properly separates these rooms, giving customers accurate individual area measurements.

As you can see in these examples, this drastically reduces the amount of manual rework you need to do after Takeoff Boost runs.
Improved takeoff results. Less time to complete takeoffs. Time back in your schedule.
