you can actually trust.

ReadMyBlueprint reads your plan set — metal studs and track, drywall, wood framing, plywood, insulation — and hands you a material count in minutes. Every number is either backed by real geometry, or flagged for you to confirm. Never a silent guess.

How it works

From a plan set to a bid-ready count, in three steps.

No special file format, no manual setup beyond a one-time scale check. It works directly from the vector PDF your architect or engineer already sent you.

Upload your plan set

Drop in the full PDF — one sheet or two hundred. ReadMyBlueprint reads the sheet's own printed scale directly off the drawing, so there's no manual calibration step for most projects.

It reads the drawing, not just the shapes

ReadMyBlueprint measures every wall, then cross-references the real wall-type notes and legends printed on your sheets to identify the exact stud size, gauge, and spacing — automatically.

Review, confirm, export

Get a plain-English dashboard: studs, track, drywall sheets, insulation bags, CMU blocks. Confirm anything flagged, then export straight to a bid-ready CSV or Excel sheet.

Why it's different

Every other tool claims accuracy. We show our work.

No independent benchmark exists for any takeoff AI on the market. Instead of asking you to trust a number, ReadMyBlueprint labels every single one — so you always know exactly where to spend your two minutes of double-checking.

MatchedThe wall's measured thickness lines up with a spec found directly on your own drawings. Ready to use.

AmbiguousMore than one material could explain this wall's thickness — ReadMyBlueprint tells you exactly which ones, instead of silently picking one.

Needs confirmationNo matching spec was found anywhere in the document. The measurement is still exact — the material just needs a quick human check.

The old way

You already know why manual takeoff is slow. Here's why "AI takeoff" hasn't fixed it either.

Every other option

Manual takeoff: accurate, but hours per plan set
"AI-powered" tools that give you a number with no way to check it
Priced for large GC teams — $199+/seat/month or $8K+/year
No way to tell a confident count from a guessed one

ReadMyBlueprint

A full plan set counted in minutes, not hours
Every material labeled matched, ambiguous, or needs confirmation
Built for the solo estimator and small shop — from $99/month
Traces back to real measured geometry and your own drawing notes
