Kreo is an AI takeoff and estimating software for AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) professionals. It runs in the cloud and can automatically perform measurements, recognize drawing elements, and generate cost estimates.
Purpose Kreo is mainly used in construction takeoff and estimating scenarios, helping quantity surveyors, cost engineers, and contractors improve takeoff speed and consistency, reduce repetitive manual work, and thereby accelerate the bidding and quotation process.
Main capabilities AI takeoff tools: can automatically detect and measure rooms, walls, doors and windows, and custom areas, support one-click measurement of areas and objects, and automatically find and count matching elements across all pages of drawings. Measurement results automatically include names, types, and IDs, and support automatic classification and grouping. Caddie AI agent: an autonomous AI agent built into Kreo that can read drawings, perform measurements, and output accurate quantities. It understands the context, scale, and intent of technical drawings, and has area mapping, cross-drawing cross-referencing, voice interaction, and context-based answering capabilities. Auto Measure 3.0: measurement results undergo a second review and are re-fitted to drawing outlines. The company says outline accuracy on complex drawings can reach 94%. Auto Count: one-click search and count of matching elements across all pages, capable of distinguishing similar elements and grouping them separately. AI Scope Builder: after uploading drawings, AI analyzes floor plans, breaks components down into materials, and automatically generates a structured scope, which can be edited and refined through conversation. Drawing intelligence features: supports AI scale detection, vector drawing processing, PDF/CAD/image formats, advanced text search (case sensitivity, whole-word matching, regular expressions, page range control), drawing version comparison, and export of measurement results to PDF. 3D view: allows viewing takeoff results in 3D to understand spatial relationships and verify complex layouts. Reporting system: supports dynamic report views, spreadsheet-style reports, AI-configured report grouping and summarization, custom formulas, and two-way synchronization with measurement data, with Excel/CSV import and export. Project database: a no-code, schema-free Items & Assemblies database that can automatically convert takeoff measurements into material, labor, and equipment costs, and supports reuse, multi-project synchronization, and multi-user collaboration. Collaboration and permissions: supports adding contextual comments, markups, annotations, and dimension lines on drawings, and provides company-level user, role, and permission management.
How to use Free trial, supports uploading PDF, CAD, or image files, with AI automatically setting the scaleand organizing drawings; then AI detects, measures, and counts elements, or you can switch to fully manual control; finally, you can export as reports, a bill of quantities (BoQ), or cost estimates. Teams can first collaborate with the free version and then upgrade as needed.
Use cases Suitable for construction estimating teams, quantity surveyors, contractors, and consulting firms that need frequent takeoffs, bidding and quotation, and cost management, and especially suitable for teams that want to reduce manual measurement and improve efficiency in running multiple projects in parallel.
Limitations or information not yet provided Official materials do not provide specific pricing, detailed pricing for each plan, the specific functional boundaries of the free version, the list of supported languages, mobile app availability, or the specific technical parameters of the AI models.
