Trade manual spreadsheets for a unified platform. Perform 2D and 3D takeoffs, build professional proposals and safeguard project margins with reliable cost data.
“[Vantage is] building in new regions, and we need to understand what it costs and how long it takes in certain regions so that we can determine things like how much is spent per megawatt in a particular region.”

Vantage Data Centers
Centralise preconstruction to improve tender-to-hit ratios and ground budgets in actual costs.
Extract quantities directly from 2D drawings or 3D models using AI to count symbols and detect floor plan areas instantly.
Build BOQs and tenders from takeoff data using actual material and labour rates.
Keep all files, revisions and tender documents in one hub to ensure everyone works from the latest drawings.
Transition winning estimates directly into your project budget to track costs from commitment to completion.
Protect Margins
Stop estimating based on assumptions. Reduce takeoff errors to lock in costs and safeguard margins before work begins on site.
Extract quantities from 2D or 3D models with auto-mapped takeoff.
Use AI to detect floor plan areas and auto-count repeated symbols.
Limit rework by matching scope and cost from the start.
Data Accuracy
Eliminate guesswork by using historical data to validate assumptions. Ensure every tender is grounded in actual performance metrics from previous projects. Improve decision-making with data-driven cost estimates.
Use historical cost data to validate pricing assumptions.
Access estimate details and files from one source of truth.
Ground tenders in reality using historical site performance within Analytics.
Team Connectivity
Keep every phase of the estimating process connected. Move directly from a quantity takeoff to a final tender without losing data in manual transfers.
Move directly from estimate to contract and financials.
Centralise all tender communications in a single system.
Provide site teams with clear and consistent budgets.
Tender Efficiency
Respond to more opportunities without increasing overhead. Automate repetitive takeoff tasks to free up your estimators for strategic analysis.
Build accurate estimates in a fraction of the time.
Generate professional proposals that stand out to clients.
Track tender status and deadlines in real-time.
Target profitable opportunities by monitoring tender success within Procore Analytics.
See how main contractors and trades of all types can streamline linear, area or weight-based takeoffs with Procore Estimating.
Takeoff data flows directly to construction estimating software ensuring ease of use. Simply adjust material prices, labour units, profit margins, and create a customer-facing construction proposal.
Upload plans and perform a quantity takeoff using a customisable database of parts, assemblies, equipment and services. Leverage auto-count and plan overlay to speed up the takeoff process.
Work more efficiently, communicate better and build faster from a single source of truth. See how you can do more on the leading construction management platform.
If we don't build it, chances are, there's an app or integration for it on our marketplace. So you can work the way you want to, all without ever leaving Procore.
Developing a project requires moving through four distinct stages: preliminary, intermediate, detailed and unit price estimating. While early stages focus on feasibility, unit price construction cost estimating is critical for formal tenders. Procore supports this detailed phase by allowing estimators to build accurate BOQs directly from digital takeoffs. By grounding your unit rates in historical site data, you ensure that your final tender is both competitive and profitable, reducing the risk of margin erosion once the project moves into the execution phase.
Generic AI tools lack the site-specific data and geometric precision required for complex projects. While they can draft text, construction intelligence within Procore is purpose-built to count symbols, detect floor plan areas and automate quantity takeoffs from 2D and 3D models. This specialized AI ensures your estimates are based on actual project geometry rather than generic assumptions. By using intelligence grounded in real construction data, you eliminate the inaccuracies often found in general-purpose AI, allowing your team to build tenders with 100% confidence in the numbers.
The Building Safety Act requires a "Golden Thread" of information from preconstruction through to handover. Accurate estimating is the first step in this chain. Using digital construction drawings and OCR tools ensures that every quantity and material specification is tracked from the initial tender. Procore centralises these records in one hub, allowing you to prove that the materials estimated and bought are the ones installed on site. This transparency is vital for meeting UK regulatory standards and ensuring long-term accountability across the project lifecycle.
Managing the transition from an estimate to job costing is essential for maintaining cash flow and compliance. Procore integrates with leading platforms to simplify construction accounting, including the management of the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS). When a tender is won, the estimate data transitions directly into the project budget, allowing you to track variations and payment applications against the original baseline. This connectivity ensures that your site-based observations and financial records stay aligned, protecting your profit margins from commitment to completion.
