What's New in Buildora AI Blueprint Scanning
1.1.3
September 30, 2026
• Verified trade accuracy — see live, independently-verified accuracy for each trade (electrical, plumbing, structural), graded against real estimator takeoffs. No marketing numbers, just proof. • Instant takeoffs — uploads now populate immediately using our fast, exact vector engine, so you're not waiting on AI to read the sheet. • Roofing takeoffs — roofing is now a full project type. Trace the roof right on the blueprint, tap the drains, and get exact area, squares, and linear feet. • Electrical counts — automatic, vector-exact lighting-fixture counts with a per-symbol breakdown. • Structural counts — automatic member counting straight from the schedule marks. • Plumbing tools — new fixture review panel, a pipe-material picker, and a linear "Run" tracer for exact pipe lengths. • Count Tracer — tap to count anything the AI pre-seeds for you, then clear a simple review queue. • Net area & reconciliation — doors and windows now come with reconcile badges, plus a room-by-room Net Internal Area breakdown. • Costs — per-trade subtotals, one-tap "Confirm All," and "Re-scan All" to refresh a project in a tap. • Confidence everywhere — every detected item shows a confidence level, with a threshold gate before export so low-confidence items never slip into your numbers.
