What is DESTINI Takeoff?

Following Beck Technology's acquisition of Workpack.ai in March 2025, the platform was rebranded as DESTINI Takeoff.

DESTINI Takeoff is an AI-powered takeoff solution that automatically detects and classifies objects in construction drawings across multiple trades. The platform helps estimators generate and modify quantity takeoffs faster and more efficiently through AI-assisted workflows.

Key Features and Capabilities

AI-Assisted Takeoff

• Symbol & Object Recognition: Leverage AI algorithms to detect, count, and outline repeated symbols, fixtures, rooms, and areas across drawing sheets.
• Group & Item Mapping: Review and map AI-detected takeoff groups and items directly to standard project conditions.
• Interactive Review Workflow: Review, adjust, accept, or discard AI suggestions before committing quantities to the estimate.

2D Takeoff & Measurement Tools

• Multi-Type Measurements: Perform precise takeoffs across standard measurement types, including Linear (lengths and perimeters), Area, Count (items and fixtures), and Volume/Wall Area calculations.
• Flexible Drawing Tools: Draw polygons, rectangles, arcs, and continuous lines with snap-to-point and crosshair navigation.
• Visual Styling & Patterns: Assign distinct colors and hatch patterns to conditions and area takeoffs for clear visual differentiation across dense plan sheets.
• Measurement Editing: Move, resize, delete, split, or merge individual takeoff shapes, or reassign existing takeoff geometry to different conditions.

Condition Management & Classification

• Hierarchical Condition Folders: Organize conditions into multi-level folders and categories for structured navigation.
• Dynamic Condition Properties: Configure custom parameters (height, depth, thickness, waste factors, and slope) to calculate derived quantities automatically.
• Condition Operations: Split complex conditions, merge related ones, and leverage robust undo/redo capabilities across condition workflows.
• Whole-Document Condition Summaries: Aggregate and view quantities across the entire sheet set, by category, or filtered by specific drawing pages.

Drawing Set Management, Overlays & Versioning

• Drawing Set Organization: Upload, organize, and navigate multi-page PDF document sets with automatic sheet indexing and document source tracking.
• Sheet Overlays & Visual Comparison: Compare drawing revisions side-by-side or stacked using color-coded overlays to quickly spot design additions, deletions, and scope changes.
• Takeoff Transfer: Transfer existing conditions and takeoff geometry to updated drawing sets and new design revisions.

DESTINI Estimator Integration

• Embedded Takeoff Workspace: Access takeoff directly inside DESTINI Estimator with responsive docking or multi-monitor pop-out support.
• Live Bi-Directional Synchronization: Link takeoff conditions directly to estimate line items and assemblies, ensuring real-time cost and quantity alignment.
• WBS Property Integration: Map Work Breakdown Structure properties between Estimator and Takeoff. Line items automatically split or group based on assigned WBS classifications.
• Condition-to-Cost Mapping: Automatically update estimate line item quantities when underlying takeoff shapes are added, resized, or removed.

Collaboration, Administration & Platform Settings

• Project Sharing & Defaults: Share projects across teams with configurable company-wide sharing defaults and project copying capabilities.
• State Persistence: Retain active drawing sheets, zoom levels, open tabs, and filter states across browser refreshes and application sessions.
• Unit of Measure Flexibility: Comprehensive support for Imperial and Metric measurement systems, including real-world dimension inputs.
• User & Workspace Controls: Dedicated user access, role assignments, and license management across standalone and embedded environments.

Training and Help Center Content

The Beck Tech Training Portal features training courses for both the standalone DESTINI Takeoff product and the integrated AI Takeoff feature in Estimator. These are found in the DESTINI Takeoff Certification Path.
