Double your bids

Estimators cut takeoff time by 50–90%, so they can chase and win the work they used to leave on the table.

Profit margins, not error margins

Custom AI models trained on plumbing drawings detect with high accuracy, so you don't have to bake in miscount error margins.

FAQ

What is plumbing takeoff software?

Plumbing takeoff software reads plumbing drawings and measures fixtures, valves, traps, vents, and pipe runs. Bobyard does the first pass and groups results by system so estimators can review them before pricing.

Can Bobyard calculate pipe length by size?

Yes. Pipe detection calculates total pipe length by size and groups it by system, so each run is ready for the estimator to review and price.

Does Bobyard read riser diagrams and isometrics?

Yes. Bobyard detects risers from riser diagrams and isometrics, along with fixtures, valves, traps, and vents. Estimators review each result before it is priced.

What kinds of plumbing projects does Bobyard support?

Bobyard Plumbing is built for commercial work, including multifamily, healthcare, education, hospitality, and mixed-use projects.

Can Bobyard do plumbing estimating, not just takeoff?

Yes. Reviewed pipe, fixture, valve, and riser quantities flow straight into an estimate table with material and labor costs, so nothing gets re-entered. Build items and assemblies once in the company cost database, apply overhead and markup, and generate a branded proposal from the same estimate.
