HandoffAI says its new model H1 can perform construction takeoffs at the level of a human estimator.

The system reads construction drawings and turns them into machine-readable project data.
It can extract detailed material quantities, reportedly down to individual studs and nails.
Handoff says the model has been in development since 2019 and is meant to automate a task that previously required human interpretation of plans.
