ConstructConnect at CONEXPO 2023: Looking to the Future of Construction
From March 14 - 18, thousands of eager construction industry members, leaders, and innovators will flock to Las Vegas for the highly anticipated CONEXPO 2023. To say we look forward to exhibiting again at the largest construction show in North America would be an understatement.
Now Introducing…Takeoff Boost™
As construction firms continue to invest in and adopt newer technologies, ConstructConnect is proud to introduce the next evolution in construction takeoff technology into our On-Screen Takeoff platform—Takeoff Boost™. Takeoff Boost gives estimators a head start by using artificial intelligence to automate takeoff measurements for area, linear, and counts. Takeoff Boost reduces repetitive tasks, giving estimators more time to focus on what matters most—analyzing results, optimizing pricing, and winning more bids.
We invite CONEXPO attendees to learn more and watch us in action as we harness the power of artificial intelligence to speed up the takeoff process at CONEXPO 2023.
The Importance of Machine Learning in Takeoff and Estimating
Preconstruction is a vital part of the construction process. Introducing AI and machine learning to preconstruction technologies can help save time and improve productivity while reducing errors by automating certain tasks and manual processes.
“Preconstruction is an extraordinarily manual process with hundreds of repetitive actions, especially during the takeoff process. There’s no better place to inject some intelligent automation than here,” reports Jennifer Johnson, Chief Product Officer at ConstructConnect.
Performing takeoffs is a strategic entry point for leveraging the power of artificial intelligence because repetitive tasks like area and linear measurements and counts for every item can be automated and completed exponentially quicker. By automating the takeoff process, estimators can reduce mouse clicks and repetitive tasks and have more time to focus on what matters most—analyzing results, optimizing pricing, and winning more bids.
Jonathan Kost, Chief Strategy Officer at ConstructConnect, states that “the promise of Takeoff Boost and similar advancements are exciting because they automate low value, repetitive tasks and free up time for preconstruction experts to put their skills and experience to work. That newly available time and mindshare can help them create more and better opportunities for their business.”
See AI in Action at CONEXPO 2023: Boost Vs. Being
Luckily CONEXPO attendees can witness the power of Takeoff Boost in person at the ConstructConnect booth, #N11076, where the Boost vs. Being challenge will continuously run. A spin on the classic Man vs. Machine debate, Takeoff Boost vs. Being offers a place where “takeoff neophytes and stalwarts can test their speed with On-Screen Takeoff or PlanSwift, the leading digital takeoff tools in the industry, to see where they land on the leaderboard against each other and the machine,” explains Kost.
“While Takeoff Boost can’t do everything, it gives users a significant head start on their work. The Boost vs. Being challenge should be a lot of fun, and we’ll have some great prizes for the top competitors—regardless of whether they can beat Takeoff Boost!”
