Feature Announced: May 2022 / Feature Released: June 03, 2022


Save Time on Estimates with Automated Selections

Procore has added a new Automated Area Takeoff feature for the Takeoff tab in the Estimating tool. See Run Automated Area Takeoffs (or see this tutorial for the standalone Procore Estimating application).

Instead of needing to manually trace outlines of each room while adding a takeoff on a floor plan, you can now click one button to have Procore run a room detection across one or multiple drawings. After the detection is complete, you can select all the detected areas for a drawing at once, or select specific rooms individually. This feature significantly helps to save time and improve efficiency during the takeoff and estimating process.

Details

  • Automated Area Takeoff is currently only intended for floor plans.
  • Since this feature uses machine learning technology, more accurate results are achieved over time. In addition, results are cached so that subsequent runs are completed faster.
  • You have an option to click Run in Background to keep working an receive notification when the process is complete.

Preview

With an area takeoff is selected on the Takeoffs side panel, click Select Rooms.
