I just heard on a call that an "AI" company needed 4 days to prepare to demo their automated takeoff software. There's a big difference between "AI" and "HI" (Human Intelligence). Needless to say, they were blown away when their plans sent during the call only took a minute to analyze. Seeing is believing. Reach out if you'd like to see the difference for yourself.

"Software works perfectly except at work." We get it - most software is clunky, slow, and makes your job harder instead of easier. That’s why we built LIFT to work for you - not against you. If you're in structural steel, LIFT is a next-generation AI tool that helps your estimators: ✅ Simplifies your bidding workflow ✅ Reduces manual errors ✅ Speeds up takeoffs & estimates If your current tools are slowing you down, maybe it’s time to try software that speeds you up.

Building things with steel like hospitals, grocery stores, apartment buildings, ore and oil refineries, distribution centers, etc etc etc... is a global practice. With trade routes moving around, the question steel producers and fabricators must ask themselves is, "How do I react?". The answer is AI. More time for everything including trade and logistics.

Despite advancements in technology, many steel fabricators and contractors are still wasting * days * on: -> Manual takeoffs and measurements. -> Excel spreadsheets for estimating -> Disconnected communication tools. The result? ❌ Missed deadlines. ❌ Increased error rates. ❌ Lost bids. It doesn’t have to be this way. Tools like SketchDeck.ai streamline these processes with automation and AI, saving time, reducing costs, and improving accuracy. If your competition is moving faster, it might be time to ask why. -- Want to talk about how we can automate your takeoffs? Try LIFT for free with your own drawings by booking a demo on our website.
