Who We Serve

Takeoff service for your sector

Benchmark's AI engine — built by engineers who came up in construction — delivers done-for-you takeoffs across the supply chain: lumber yards, component manufacturers, home builders, and framing contractors. AI reads the plans and builds the structure, we count each element, and an estimator checks the work. Pay per plan.

What we calculate

Every material group below follows the CSI MasterFormat divisions used across residential construction. This is what we calculate today, what is coming, and what is out of scope.

06	Wood, Plastics & Composites	Wall, floor, and roof framing; engineered lumber; sheathing and structural panels; rim board, blocking, and bracing; deck and porch framing; framing hardware and fasteners; finish carpentry and trim	We calculate
06	Truss & EWP Design	Truss quotes and designs; engineered wood product calculations	In development
07	Thermal & Moisture Protection	Insulation; house wrap; roofing underlayment; ice and water shield; flashing; roofing materials; siding; sealants and tapes	We calculate
08	Openings	Windows; exterior and interior doors; sliding, patio, and garage doors	We calculate
