From P-Sheet to estimate in minutes

Bobyard reads your plumbing drawings, detects fixtures, pipes, risers, and symbols, and rolls it all into an estimate.

Bobyard plumbing takeoff software

Bobyard

for Plumbing

Cut your takeoff in half

01
Bobyard can read any drawing

Upload plumbing drawings, risers, isometrics, schedules, specs, and legends, and Bobyard gets to work.

02
AI auto-extracts the takeoff in minutes.

Fixtures, valves, traps, vents, pipe runs, and risers are detected and grouped by system. Estimators can verify each detection before locking it in.

03
Roll everything into a pre-built estimate.

All quantities flow directly into an estimate table with material and labor costs calculated across counts, lengths, equipment, and more.

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.

Bigger business, same team

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

Trained on millions of drawings. Ready for yours.

Plumbing symbol detection

Identify valves, traps, vents, and other plumbing symbols across the plans.

Pipe detection

Detect plumbing pipes and calculate total pipe lengths by size.

Smart system association

Associate fixtures, symbols, and pipe runs by system so plumbing quantities stay grouped for review.

FAQ

Bobyard is an AI-powered takeoff and estimating platform built for the trades. For plumbing contractors, Bobyard reads drawings, auto-extracts quantities, and rolls every quantity into a pre-built estimate.

Bobyard's AI is trained on millions of construction drawings, including the symbols, schedules, and scope signals specific to plumbing plans. Upload your drawings and Bobyard detects the relevant quantities so your estimators know exactly where to focus their review.

Legacy tools were built before modern AI, so counting, routing, and assemblies are still largely manual or split across multiple platforms. Bobyard is purpose-built for AI takeoff, trained on the trades specifically, rather than being a tacked-on or generic model.

Yes. Bobyard detects horizontal pipe runs, risers, fixtures, valves, traps, and vents, then groups the output for estimator review before pricing.

Plumbing contractors and estimators use Bobyard to scale their bid volume, from small shops sending more bids per week to large estimating teams scaling their pipeline without scaling headcount.

Most teams are running live takeoffs within their first onboarding session. Every customer gets a dedicated CSM and hands-on training on real projects, and the platform is designed to be intuitive enough that your team won't need extensive training to keep using it.
