Bobyard, the AI platform redefining how contractors perform construction takeoffs, has raised 35 million in Series A funding. The round was led by 8VC, with participation from Pear VC, Primary Venture Partners, Tishman Speyer, RXR, Caffeinated Capital, and Merrick Ventures.
The platform uses proprietary computer-vision models to automate the most time-consuming step in preconstruction. Contractors can now generate quantity and material takeoffs in minutes rather than hours. By interpreting blueprints the way experienced estimators do, Bobyard transforms static drawings into structured data that improves accuracy and competitiveness.
Takeoffs are the foundation of every project, said Michael Ding, founder and CEO of Bobyard. Were teaching machines to understand blueprints and push the boundaries of AI in a field that directly shapes the built environment.
