LET AI DO THE MEASURING SO YOU CAN FOCUS ON WINNING

What is AI Takeoff and how does it work?
AI Takeoff is a fully automated site measurement tool powered by Attentive.ai, integrated directly into your AK DASH account. Simply enter a property address and select the features you want measured—AI handles the rest, generating detailed measurements using aerial imagery and machine learning.

What types of measurements can the AI Takeoff generate?
The AI can measure asphalt, concrete, curbs, line striping, sealcoat areas, ADA stalls, bollards, and more. It’s built specifically for exterior maintenance contractors.

Who is the AI Takeoff feature for?
This feature is designed for pavement maintenance contractors, estimators, and sales reps who need fast, accurate measurements for sealcoating, striping, patching, crack filling, or full paving proposals.

How accurate are the measurements?
Measurements are 98% accurate based on thorough quality reviews.

What happens if the aerial imagery is outdated or doesn’t reflect site changes?
If the site has changed but the imagery hasn’t caught up, it may be due to vintage lag. In these cases, blueprint takeoffs are recommended and should be labeled “Budget Guidance” due to potential variances.

How does AI Takeoff handle covered parking areas?
The system recognizes when pavement or striping extends under a covered area and includes it—if it can visually verify it. It does not guess if the area is completely obstructed, prioritizing accuracy over assumptions.

Can I edit or adjust the measurements if needed?
Yes, you can make manual edits directly within your proposal or download the takeoff file to adjust it using other tools.

Can I break down large sites into work phases like Day 1, Day 2, etc.?
Yes, you can create phased zones within the takeoff to organize work into manageable daily segments. This is especially helpful for scheduling or capital budgeting.

How current is the imagery used for takeoffs?
Imagery is updated annually, or more frequently in metro areas, using low-flying aircraft. You can toggle between the most recent and oldest available imagery to see what has changed over time.

Will drone or real-time imagery be supported in the future?
Yes, Attentive.ai is exploring drone and live photo integrations to enhance site accuracy, though these options may require more processing time.

How long does it take to receive the measurements?
Most takeoffs are returned within 2–6 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the property.

Do I need to upload anything to request a takeoff?
No uploads needed—just enter the address and select the scope. The AI handles the rest.

How will I receive my measurements?
You’ll receive a PDF measurement report and a site map. The data also auto-syncs to your proposal in AK DASH so you can price jobs faster.

Is proposal generation tied directly to AI Takeoff results?
Yes, AK DASH takes the auto-generated measurements and instantly builds a branded, ready-to-send proposal with your logo, pricing, and a signature-ready form.

Can I use AI Takeoff for residential driveways and commercial lots?
Yes, the AI works for both residential and commercial properties. However, it's optimized for commercial and multi-family lots where scale and detail matter most.

Can I request measurements for multiple properties at once?
Yes—batch requests are supported. You can navigate through AK DASH and process multiple auto measures at once.

Does AI Takeoff work in both the U.S. and Canada?
Yes, coverage includes most populated areas across the U.S. and Canada.
