Construction Takeoff Estimating MCP server

What it does

This server reads construction drawing PDFs, performs takeoff measurements and counts by trade, applies material and labour pricing, and generates estimates. It is for AI agents acting as construction estimators working with plan sets across nine building trades.

• Upload a construction plan set, set or auto-detect the drawing scale, and extract text and schedules from sheets.
• Measure and count scope elements on a drawing by trade (concrete, steel, carpentry, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, finishes, roofing, sitework), organised by system and material.
• Price takeoffs against cost items, apply overhead and profit margins, and export a priced estimate or proposal.

Before you enable it

An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
