Google Cloud\u2019s Gemini Enterprise agentic AI platform and Cloud Run enable fast, reliable computer vision that turns digital plans into areas,\u00a0counts\u00a0and measurements in seconds<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n LAS VEGAS \u2014 Cloud Next \u201926 \u2014\u202fConstructConnect<\/a>\u202fannounced today the launch of Takeoff Boost, an AI-assisted and computer-vision powered takeoff service that was built natively on Google Cloud. Takeoff is the process of\u00a0identifying\u00a0and quantifying physical materials required for a construction project to ensure\u00a0accurate\u00a0bidding, ordering, and budgeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n Takeoff Boost<\/a>\u202fhelps construction estimators, including contractors and material suppliers, spend less time on manual, repetitive takeoff work and more time on analysis and bidding. It modernizes takeoff workflow by using computer vision to automatically classify, detect, count, and measure areas,\u00a0linears, and objects directly from digital plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n Customers can then process complex plan sets quickly, reduce time spent on manual tracing, and shift their efforts toward scope understanding, risk checks, and bid strategies. Takeoff Boost has\u00a0demonstrated\u00a0strong product-market fit with interior trades and general contractors, opening a substantial growth opportunity across the North American estimating market.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEstimating is where margins are won or lost. Takeoff Boost is designed to give that time back. You drop in the plan set, and in seconds you get structured, usable measurements that estimators can trust,\u201d said Gaurav Singal,\u00a0EVP\u00a0and\u00a0chief technology officer, ConstructConnect. \u201cGoogle Cloud gives us the performance and scale to deliver that experience consistently for our customers.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Takeoff Boost runs end-to-end on Google Cloud, using Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and Cloud Run with NVIDIA GPUs, to execute vision models at high throughput and low latency. Google Cloud Storage and related services provide the elasticity, reliability, and performance\u00a0required\u00a0to analyze large and complex plan sets in seconds and return actionable results.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By building natively on Google Cloud, ConstructConnect can iterate faster, ship new AI capabilities more\u00a0frequently, and\u00a0operate\u00a0with enterprise-grade security controls as adoption scales.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n More specifically:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cCustomers don\u2019t buy AI; they buy the outcomes it enables. ConstructConnect is using Gemini Enterprise and GPU-backed infrastructure to deliver real, measurable impact for contractors and estimators, with the speed and reliability\u00a0required\u00a0for production workflows,\u201d said Praveen Rao, global director, Manufacturing, Google Cloud. \u201cTakeoff Boost from ConstructConnect is an example of how a longstanding enterprise company is using AI to drive impact to its customers.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Takeoff Boost gives estimating teams a faster, more consistent path from plan set to bid-ready measurements\u2014without requiring changes to existing tools or workflows.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Benefits for Takeoff Boost customers include:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ConstructConnect has made AI enablement a cornerstone of how it builds, investing deeply in people, platforms, and processes. With 200+ engineers, machine learning experts, data\u00a0scientists\u00a0and product professionals working AI-first across the organization,\u00a0nearly 15\u00a0million lines of proprietary code, and AI and machine learning models powering its platform, ConstructConnect has spent years building the foundation to make this moment possible.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cPreconstruction has always been where projects are won or lost, and estimators have been doing some of the hardest work in construction with tools that haven\u2019t kept pace.\u00a0Takeoff Boost changes that,\u201d said Jennifer Johnson, EVP, chief product officer, ConstructConnect. \u201cBy automating the most time-consuming parts of the takeoff process, we\u2019re giving estimators back the hours they need to focus on what actually drives competitive advantage\u2014scope expertise, risk judgment, and strategy. This is exactly the kind of AI we set out to build: invisible infrastructure that makes the people using it better at their jobs.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Takeoff Boost is the culmination of that investment and the result of relentless focus, continuous innovation through Innovation Labs, and a Product Operating Model designed to keep its customers at the leading edge. Partnering with Google Cloud and integrating Gemini Enterprise is the natural next chapter for a team that is all-in on AI.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Takeoff Boost is available to ConstructConnect customers through\u00a0OnScreen\u00a0Takeoff and coming soon to\u00a0PlanSwift.
