Kreo BIM Takeoff vs On-Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid

Kreo BIM Takeoff is a cloud-based AI platform for analyzing 3D BIM models, automating calculations, and preparing construction estimates. Users can upload IFC models and work in a browser without Revit or other software; the BIM Takeoff FAQ says the supported BIM format is only *.ifc. The product classifies model data using NRM1, SMM7, MasterFormat, and other international standards, then calculates measurements from 3D geometry. Reports can be customized and regenerated when measurements change, while teams can access reports online and discuss them in a built-in messenger. Kreo lists integrations with Contractor Foreman, Excel, PDF export, and APIs; takeoff items can be sent into Contractor Foreman estimates. Its REST APIs cover AI detection and measurement of 2D files and programmatic project, measurement, and annotated-PDF operations. Kreo says its cloud solution analyzes models, calculates, and prepares estimates 10x faster. It states that the product is SOC 2 Type II compliant, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and uses access controls, anomaly monitoring, and security audits. The Pro plan is $65 a month billed annually per user, with unlimited usage; a seven-day trial is listed.

On-Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid are construction estimating products that carry work from plan measurements to bids. On-Screen Takeoff measures construction plans and calculates quantities; Quick Bid turns those quantities into detailed cost estimates. On-Screen Takeoff supports PDF, CAD and image-based plans, object counts, multi-condition takeoff, drawing-version overlays, styles and templates. Takeoff Boost adds automated takeoff, counting, scaling, bookmarking, naming and linking tools. Quick Bid can gather supplier quotes through eQuotes and use real-time supplier pricing. It supports change orders and compiles itemized materials, labor, overhead and profit into estimates. It also creates customized proposals and accounting-friendly job-costing exports. The products connect directly so quantities flow into estimates without re-entry. The vendor says On-Screen Takeoff covers more than 50 CSI MasterFormat divisions. It recommends Windows 10 Pro or Home, requires an internet connection and local Windows administrator installation. A free 14-day trial is available without a credit card or obligation to continue. Pricing depends on team size, trade specialties and edition; exact pricing is on request.
