The AI finds the information. You verify the takeoff. Fieldlink's AI Plan Reader scans drainage layouts, schedules and legends, then shows you exactly what it found and where — with nothing committed until the estimator approves it.

Every finding carries a confidence level (high / medium / low), the evidence the AI read (label, schedule row, geometry, legend), and a Locate button that zooms the drawing to exactly where it was found. If a quantity can't be read, the AI says so — it never invents numbers.
No. The AI suggests items with confidence levels and evidence; the estimator reviews, edits, measures anything missing and approves what goes into the takeoff. AI quantities are never treated as automatically correct.
PDF sheets and images — drainage layouts, site plans, long sections, schedule sheets and typical details. You pick which sheets to read.
It reads printed values — dimensions, schedules, invert levels — rather than scaling by eye, and labels each finding high, medium or low confidence so you know what to check first. Accuracy depends on drawing quality, which is why review is built into the workflow.
Yes — every finding has a Locate on Plan action that zooms and highlights the exact spot on the drawing, plus a 'Why?' panel showing the label or schedule row it read.
Fieldlink builds them into normal takeoff measurements — grouped by discipline, with optional rate matches and trench build-ups — and they behave exactly like manually measured items from then on.
