Kreo

Kreo is a cloud-based takeoff and estimating platform for construction professionals. Users upload drawings in PDF, CAD, or image format and measure quantities using both AI-assisted and manual tools, then build cost estimates and generate reports without leaving the browser. An AI agent called Caddie reads drawings and returns quantities directly, and the platform includes Auto Measure, One-Click Area, and Auto Count functions along with AI-powered zone mapping that separates legends, tables, and title blocks from the drawing itself. The tool is aimed at quantity surveyors, cost estimators, contractors, and architects who need to move from drawings to accurate quantities and cost plans quickly. Beyond measurement, Kreo supports 3D view mode for spatial validation, drawing comparison across revisions, regex-capable text search, and grid or spreadsheet reports that sync live with measurements. Teams can manage access permissions and import or export data to Excel to fit existing workflows. One honest limitation is that Kreo's AI-powered measurement tools are gated behind its higher pricing tiers: the entry-level Lite plan only covers collaboration, while Auto Measure, Auto Count, and Caddie require the Pro tier and up. Pricing runs from $35 to $175 per month plus a custom Enterprise tier, so smaller firms may only get the AI capabilities at a meaningfully higher cost.
