Kreo

Kreo is a cloud-based artificial intelligence software purpose-built for professionals in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Its core function is to automate the traditionally manual and time-consuming processes of construction takeoff and cost estimating. The platform ingests architectural and engineering drawings in various digital formats (such as PDFs and DXF files) and uses machine learning models to automatically detect, classify, and measure building elements—including walls, doors, windows, floors, ceilings, piping, electrical components, and structural members. Unlike simple measurement tools, Kreo’s “Caddie” AI agent actively interprets the drawing content. It cross-references data across multiple sheets within a project, identifies inconsistencies, and aggregates measurements into structured takeoff reports. Users can then generate flexible, customizable cost estimates directly from these quantified materials and labor items. The software supports real-time collaboration: team members can share projects, assign review tasks, and comment on specific drawing regions. Version control is built in, allowing users to track changes across drawing revisions. Kreo also integrates with common external tools—such as Excel, BIM 360, and popular ERP systems—to export data or synchronize cost databases. The platform is entirely browser-based, meaning users do not need to install any local software or high-performance hardware; they only need an internet connection and a standard web browser. This makes it accessible on desktops, tablets, and even smartphones for field reviews. Security and compliance are handled through encrypted cloud storage and role-based access permissions, suitable for large enterprises with sensitive project data. The sof
