This includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eliminating pre-takeoff setup: Trimble MEP estimating applications can leverage AI to instantly identify and set the correct scale and name across entire plan sets, allowing estimators to move from document upload to quantity takeoff in seconds.<\/li>\n<li>Automating count-based takeoff: AI interprets construction drawings to recognise, label and count symbols \u2013 such as receptacles, switches and light fixtures. Over three million symbols have been automatically detected, reducing the time required for manual recognition by more than 50%.<\/li>\n<li>Automating length-based takeoff: A new auto-routing feature eliminates most of the manual effort involved in conduit measurement by automatically calculating linear footage, including vertical rises and drops.<\/li>\n<li>Always-on assistant: Built directly into Accubid Anywhere, the AI Smart Assistant allows users to interact with their estimates using natural language, helping them quickly access data, automate tasks and make informed decisions without altering their workflow. This improves estimating efficiency, with average time savings of over 80% for researching historical pricing and comparing complex estimates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Empowering the \u2018human in the loop\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>The Trimble AI tools operate as intelligent collaborators. Estimators use their own built-in QA\/QC process to identify false positives and validate the data, while real-time input enables the AI model to learn and improve over time.<\/p>\n<p>This \u2018human-in-the-loop\u2019 approach ensures that estimators maintain full oversight and control over each and every estimate.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Jonas, executive director of estimation at Kidwell Electric, explained: \u201cThe estimators on my team who are heavy users of Trimble AI tools cut overall estimating time significantly, which leads to more jobs, more projects and better accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really more of a review process for the estimator that allows them to focus on higher payoff activities rather than an actual takeoff process.\u201d<\/p>\n<div
