Rudus

Rudus automates concrete takeoffs to accelerate estimating and bidding. It uses AI-powered detection to extract plan quantities and exports them into common estimating tools, helping teams bid more work with fewer manual steps.

From plan upload to export, Rudus detects concrete elements (slabs, columns, walls, footings) on plan sets, allows review and adjustments, and locks in quantities. It enables collaboration across a single browser-based plan set, with live syncing and direct linking back to source plans. Takeoffs flow directly into priced estimates within Rudus or export to HCSS HeavyBid, Sage, B2W, or Excel, reducing double entry and speeding the bid process. The system includes an interactive query feature to ask questions about plans and specs, with answers linked to the source, and provides metrics like takeoff time reduction and bid submission growth to gauge value.

Who it’s for: Concrete subcontractors and estimators who bid on construction projects and use plan sets to generate takeoffs and estimates.
