Construction AI is a set of AI tools for working with construction drawings. Its chat assistant answers questions about a drawing set, such as counts, schedules, areas and volumes, and its apps convert survey PDFs to DXF and point clouds and support takeoff on Mac and iPad. Every answer and quantity must be checked against the drawings.

## What is Construction AI?

Construction AI, at construction.ai, is made by Pique Innovations, a Canadian company. It offers a chat assistant that answers questions about drawing sets, a conversion app for survey PDFs, and a Mac and iPad app for takeoff on PDF plans, plus a Procore integration in beta.

## How do contractors use Construction AI?
