Overview
Kreo Software is a cloud-based AI construction takeoff and estimating platform built for AEC professionals. It uses artificial intelligence to understand construction drawings across PDF, CAD, and image formats, automatically detecting elements, cross-referencing data across sheets, and generating flexible reports. The platform combines an intuitive interface with a powerful autonomous agent, Caddie, which reads drawings, runs measurements, and delivers precise quantities under user control. Kreo is designed to streamline repetitive takeoff workflows, improve measurement accuracy, and enhance collaboration across project teams.
Core capabilities include AI-driven Auto Measure for rooms, walls, doors, windows, and custom areas; one-click area measurement; and Auto Count, which finds and counts matching objects across all drawing pages. The built-in Caddie AI agent understands technical plans, recognizes drawing zones (main area, legends, tables, title blocks, notes), and provides context-aware answers. Users can interact with drawings through voice, cross-reference linked specifications and schedules, and build custom AI-driven scope breakdowns. Kreo’s drawing intelligence also includes scale detection, text search, drawing comparison, 3D view, and PDF export with preserved annotations.
For reporting and cost control, Kreo offers grid and spreadsheet reports that stay live-connected to project data, supporting custom formulas, grouping, pivoting, and AI-configured report structures. A no-code Items & Assemblies database lets teams define their own estimating logic and reuse it across projects. Embedded rules automatically convert takeoff measurements into material, labor, and equipment costs. Variants allow one item to have multiple configurations with automatic rate switching, while real-time collaboration features include contextual comments, callouts, sticky notes, dimension lines, and company-level access management.
Kreo is suitable for cost estimators, quantity surveyors, contractors, and specialist trades such as flooring, concrete, electrical, framing, drywall, painting, steel, and masonry. It serves companies of all sizes — from small consultancies to large enterprises — and is rated 4.9/5 based on user reviews. With flexible pricing plans from Lite to Enterprise, Kreo scales from basic collaboration to full AI automation and API integration, helping teams move faster with confidence while maintaining a single source of truth for project data.
Core capabilities
- Caddie AI Agent
- Autonomous AI operator that reads drawings, performs measurements, and delivers exact quantities under your control — not just a chatbot.
- Auto Measure
- AI automatically detects and measures rooms, walls, doors, windows, and custom areas on drawings with high accuracy.
- One-Click Area Measurement
- Measure any area or object instantly by simply clicking inside it; AI captures precise boundaries and assigns names, types, and IDs.
- Auto Count
- Point at one element and AI instantly finds and counts every matching object across all pages of the drawing, grouping similar elements separately.
- AI Drawing Understanding
- Recognizes scale, zones, legends, and technical intent; supports PDF, CAD, and image formats with advanced text search and drawing comparison.
- 3D View Mode
- Visualize takeoff results in 3D to validate spatial relationships and complex layouts before moving forward.
- Flexible Project Reports
- Grid and spreadsheet reports stay live-synced with measurements; supports AI-configured grouping, custom formulas, and Excel/CSV import-export.
- Items & Assemblies Database
- No-code, structure-free database with embedded rules to convert measurements into costs; supports variants, AI generation, and real-time collaboration.
- Drawing Collaboration
- Contextual comments, callouts, sticky notes, dimension lines, and team access management keep coordination structured and secure.
- Voice & Cross-Reference Intelligence
- Ask questions by voice and instantly surface related specifications, schedules, or connected data by selecting any tag or element.
