Stop Wasting Time on Blueprints That Aren't for You

Stop Wasting Time on Blueprints That Aren't for You

If you’re a plumber, electrician, or HVAC technician, you know the routine. A general contractor sends you a massive, 50-page set of blueprints for a new project. You need to find the 5 pages that actually apply to your trade, buried amongst all the structural, framing, and finishing details.

You spend hours sifting through irrelevant information, manually tracing your lines with a highlighter, and trying not to miss a single outlet, pipe, or duct. It’s a slow, frustrating process where one small oversight can cost you dearly on your bid.

What if you could upload that entire 50-page document, click one button, and instantly get a complete material list and cost estimate for only your trade?

Introducing "Selected Blueprint Analysis" by ProBuild AI

We realized that most construction software is built with only the general contractor in mind. That’s why we designed a powerful feature specifically for the skilled tradesmen who are the backbone of every project.

Our Selected Blueprint Analysis allows you to focus only on what matters to you. The process is incredibly simple:

Upload the Full Blueprint: Drag and drop the entire PDF file the GC sent you into the platform.

Select Your Trade: Before running the analysis, you’ll see a simple option. Choose your specialty: "Plumbing," "Electrical," "HVAC," "Drywall," etc.

Get Your Custom Results: ProBuild AI scans the entire document but intelligently isolates and analyzes only the components relevant to your selected trade.

In minutes, you get a complete, detailed report that is 100% focused on your work.

How It Works for Your Trade:

  • For the Electrician: No more manually measuring every line. The AI calculates the exact length of every conduit run, counts every single outlet, switch, light fixture, and junction box, and lists them in a perfect Bill of Materials. It's the ultimate electrical takeoff software.
  • For the Plumber: Forget about miscounting fittings. The system identifies and measures every type of pipe (PEX, copper, PVC), counts every valve, fitting, sink, toilet, and fixture, and gives you a precise list for your suppliers. It’s your dedicated plumbing estimating software.
  • For the HVAC Technician: Stop guessing on ductwork. The AI calculates the precise lengths and dimensions of all ductwork, identifies every vent, register, and required unit, and provides a clear takeoff so you can bid with total confidence.

The Advantage for Every Tradesman

This isn't just about saving time; it's about making your business more competitive and profitable.

  • Bid Faster: Turn around quotes in minutes, not days. This allows you to bid on more jobs.
  • Bid with Accuracy: Eliminate the costly risk of human error. The AI catches everything, ensuring your material costs are spot-on.
  • Look More Professional: Submit detailed, accurate, and professional bids that build trust with GCs.
  • Win More Work: By being faster and more accurate than your competition, you will win a higher percentage of the jobs you bid on.

You are a specialist in your trade. You deserve a tool that is specialized for you. ProBuild AI isn't just another platform for general contractors. It’s a powerful, intelligent partner for every skilled tradesman who wants to work smarter, not harder.
