What is Rudus?
Rudus is an AI-powered takeoff and estimating platform for concrete subcontractors. It detects concrete elements across plan sets, links details and specifications, expands quantities into bid-ready assemblies, and keeps estimators collaborating in one browser-based workspace.
Best for
Concrete subcontractors that want faster takeoffs without replacing estimator judgment
Who is it for?

Key features
AI detection of concrete elements across plan sets
Plan and specification questions with source links
Shared browser workspace with real-time team edits
Concrete, formwork, and rebar quantity expansion
Priced estimates connected to takeoff quantities
Exports to HeavyBid, Sage, B2W, and Excel
Use cases
Preparing concrete construction takeoffs
Building bid-ready quantity assemblies
Reviewing drawings and specifications quickly
Collaborating across estimating teams
Exporting quantities into existing estimating systems
Pros
- Purpose-built for concrete estimating workflows
- Reviewable detections rather than black-box outputs
- Team collaboration inside one plan set
- Direct exports reduce repeated data entry
Cons
- Commercial pricing requires a demo
- Historical jobs are used during calibration
- Every detected quantity still needs estimator review
Limitations
Rudus can miss, duplicate, or misclassify plan elements and details. Estimators remain responsible for validating dimensions, assemblies, exclusions, pricing, revisions, and bid risk before quantities are submitted or relied on commercially.
