Kreo is a cloud-based AI takeoff and estimating platform for construction professionals. You upload drawings (PDF, CAD, or image files), measure quantities using AI-powered and manual tools, build cost estimates, and generate reports — all in one place, from any browser, on Windows or Mac.
Kreo is built for quantity surveyors, cost estimators, and contractors who work with 2D drawings and need accurate quantities fast.
Kreo's core advantage is its AI toolset that handles the repetitive parts of takeoff — detecting elements, measuring areas, and counting objects across your drawings.
Auto Measure — AI-powered tool that automatically detects and measures rooms, walls, doors, windows, and custom areas on your drawings. Covers multiple categories: Rooms & Areas, Doors & Windows, Wall Finishes (internal and external), GIA, GEA, NIA, and Custom queries. Results are classified by type and size, and can be renamed with AI. → Learn more about Auto Measure
One-Click Area — Measure any area or object on a drawing instantly. Click inside it, and AI detects the boundary. Use positive and negative points to refine the result. Works for rooms, irregular shapes, custom elements — any closed polygon. → Learn more about One-Click Area
Auto Count — Point at one element, and AI finds and counts every matching object across all pages of your drawing. Adjust similarity with a slider, review results visually, use "Split by Text" to classify elements with different labels. → Learn more about Auto Count
AI Suggest — Enable it alongside the polygon tool, and AI predicts the full measurement from your very first point. Accept with Enter or keep adding points to refine. → Learn more about AI Suggest
Caddie AI reads your construction drawings like an engineer — understanding context, scale, and intent without manual setup. Ask questions about specifications, dimensions, materials, or schedules. It keeps context across sheets and gives grounded answers instead of generic AI output.
Key capabilities:
Zone Mapping — Automatically detects and separates drawing zones: main drawing area, legends, tables, title blocks, and notes.
Cross-Reference Intelligence — Select any tag or element to instantly surface all related specifications, schedules, and connected data across pages.
AI Scope Builder — Upload a drawing, and AI analyzes plans, breaks assemblies into individual materials, and generates a structured scope. Fully editable, refinable through chat.
Voice Interaction — Ask questions by voice and receive clear, immediate responses from your drawings.
Kreo is built around real construction drawings and real geometry. It reads native PDF and CAD vector data (not rasterized images), so measurements are accurate to the original file.
AI Scale Detection — Automatic scale recognition from your drawings.
3D View Mode — View takeoff results in 3D to validate spatial relationships and complex layouts.
Advanced Text Search — Search text across drawings with case sensitivity, whole words, regular expressions, and page-level scope control.
Drawing Comparison — Compare different versions of drawings. Added, removed, and modified elements are clearly highlighted.
PDF Export — Export drawings with measurements, dimensions, comments, and visual styles preserved.
File formats — PDF, DWG, DXF, DWF, DGN, PNG, TIFF, JPG, JPEG, BMP, EMF, GIF.

Reports in Kreo stay connected to drawings, measurements, and assemblies — they update automatically as your project changes.
Grid Report — A dynamic view of all project data. Measurements, items, and assemblies stay in sync. Group, pivot, and restructure instantly. Configure structure using AI prompts.
Spreadsheet Report — Build reports like in Excel, but with a live connection to your project data. Custom formulas, Excel/CSV import and export, reusable templates.
Items & Assemblies — A no-code, structure-free database. Define materials, rates, formulas, and assembly logic your way. Embedded rules automatically convert measurements into costs. Update once — changes apply across all projects.
Contextual Comments — Add comments directly on drawings, linked to exact locations.
Callout Tool & Sticky Notes — Leader-line comments, lightweight visual notes for review feedback and coordination.
Dimension Lines — Add dimension lines to highlight critical distances during review.
Team & Access Management — Manage users, roles, and permissions at the company level.
