02
AI detects the full paving scope in minutes

Asphalt, sidewalks, parking stalls, ADA stalls, crosswalks, arrows, stop bars, and hatching get detected and measured in the units you price with. Estimators can verify each detection before locking it in.

03
Roll everything into a bid-ready estimate

All quantities flow directly into an estimate table that converts to tonnage for paving and gallons for sealcoating, with room for mobilization and markup.

Paving estimate workflow

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 paving properties detect with high accuracy, so you don't have to bake in miscount error margins.

Bigger business, same team

Bobyard doesn't replace estimators, it supercharges them. Free from counting they can focus on winning over clients and bids.
