They estimate remodels from a prompt; we count your actual plan set. An honest look at where Handoff fits, and where a plan-set takeoff tool fits better.
Handoff (handoff.ai) is an AI estimating and project-management app for residential remodelers and builders. You describe a job by text, voice or photo and it produces a priced estimate and proposal, alongside CRM, invoicing and a client portal. ReadMyBlueprint does a narrower job: it reads the real plan set and counts walls, metal and wood framing, drywall, plywood, insulation and CMU, and you check every count before it goes in a bid.
