Takeoff in Minutes. Not Days.
Togal.AI is an AI-powered takeoff platform built by estimators. It automatically detects, measures and compares directly from construction drawings, with up to 98% accuracy.
Takeoff in minutes, not days
Preconstruction takeoffs have long meant printed plans, a scale ruler and days of manual counting. Togal.AI uses deep learning to read the drawings and do that work in minutes.
The company says the platform cuts takeoff time by up to 70%, so existing estimators can bid faster and take on more work.
Five patents on AI-driven takeoff
Togal.AI has been granted five patents covering how AI reads and acts on construction drawings.
Quantifying building requirements. Methods and apparatus for quantifying requirements in construction of a building, an AI system that interprets 2D plans to quantify materials, labor and other needs by emulating human plan-reading and decision-making.
2D plans to takeoff. Methods and apparatus for AI conversion of a two-dimensional reference into a takeoff, an engine that analyzes 2D floor plans to generate room dimensions, net floor area and quantity measurements.
Change orders. Methods and apparatus for AI conversion of change orders into an actionable interface, which identifies and tracks design changes in 2D plans and translates them into impacts on materials, costs and labor.
Drawings to project requirements. Methods and apparatus for AI conversion of a two-dimensional reference into an actionable interface, which turns 2D drawings into structured requirements for planning and execution.
Code compliance. Apparatus for AI determination of building metrics for code compliance, which evaluates building plans to calculate key metrics and assess compliance with building codes and regulations.
A family construction business, turned software company
Togal.AI was born from a multi-generational family construction business. Founder Patrick Murphy grew up helping his grandfather prepare estimates from printed plans. After two terms in Congress he returned to the family business and found that takeoffs and estimating had barely changed.
He assembled a team of experts to build Togal.AI. The name honors his Irish heritage: "tógálaí" is the Irish word for "builder."
Scale and recognition
Togal.AI reports 8,000 users across 30 countries and has won AGC's Innovation of the Year, among other awards. It is headquartered in Miami.
"Togal has allowed Innovative Construction Management to not only do our jobs faster and more accurately, but it's also given us time to deepen our relationships with key trade partners, owners, and architects." - Foster Gullett, Estimator, Innovative Construction Management
Grew up in construction, starting as a day laborer and working through estimating, project engineering and accounting before earning his CPA and spending time at Deloitte. Elected to Congress in 2012 representing Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast, he served two terms and ran for Senate in 2016. Founded Togal.AI, which reports reducing takeoff time by up to 70% for 8,000 users across 30 countries. Also CIO of Coastal Construction, founder of CodeComply.AI, and helping scale RENCO USA. Appointed to the Export Council in 2023 as its only construction industry representative.
