Pipe Takeoff ProA Western Axis LLC service
Upload your ISOs. AI does the takeoff.
Pipe Takeoff Pro's AI reads every isometric drawing in the set and builds an itemized, cross-checked bill of material, every line broken out by size, end, spec, rating and wall. Nobody counts fittings by hand. No software to buy or learn. Your estimators spend the week pricing the job.
| Item | Size | Spec | Qty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pipe, BE | 6" | A106-B SCH 40 | 142 LF |
| 90° LR Elbow, BW | 6" | A234-WPB STD | 8 EA |
| Tee, Red. BW | 6"×4" | A234-WPB STD | 2 EA |
| WN Flange, RF | 6" | A105 CL300 | 4 EA |
| Gate Valve, RF | 6" | CL300 · tag unclear | 1 EA |
| Weldolet | 6"×1" | A105 3000# | 3 EA |
| Stud Bolt w/ 2 Hvy Hex Nuts | 3/4"×4-1/4" | B7 / 2H | 48 EA |
The counting is done by machine
A piping takeoff is line-by-line, sheet-by-sheet counting. That's the kind of work AI does well, and it's the part of the bid your estimators shouldn't be spending their week on.
Same care on every sheet
The AI reads the last drawing in a large set the same way it reads the first. It doesn't get tired or skip a line late in the week.
Checks its own count
Quantities taken off the drawing are checked against the bill of material on the same sheet, and anything that won't tie out is called out.
Says when it isn't sure
A smudged tag or unclear callout gets flagged for review. The AI doesn't fill a gap with a guess.
Set up by an estimator
The AI is set up to do a takeoff the way an industrial estimator does one, with the detail vendors need to price it.
Send drawings, get a workbook
Nothing to install and no new program to learn. Upload the drawings, the AI does the takeoff, and it comes back as a workbook your team can price from.
Upload your ISOs
PDFs or a zip, through the form below. Add skid or section sheets if they're in scope.
AI reads every drawing
Pipe, fittings, flanges, valves and bolting are taken off each isometric.
AI cross-checks the count
Drawing quantities are checked against the bill of material, and anything uncertain is flagged.
Get your workbook
An itemized takeoff, detailed enough to go straight to vendors for pricing.
Sample workbook with example data.
A takeoff you can price from
The workbook comes back laid out the same way on every job, so your estimators always know where to look.
ISO piping
Every item on every isometric, with exact size, end connection, material spec, rating and wall.
IncludedSkid BOMs
Skid and section sheets taken off alongside the ISOs, so packaged equipment isn't missed or double counted.
IncludedCross-checked
Drawing quantities are checked against the BOM on each sheet. Anything that won't tie out is called out.
IncludedFlagged, not guessed
When the AI can't read a tag or callout with confidence, it flags the cell for review instead of filling in a guess.
IncludedNo roll-ups
No "2 inch and smaller" lumping. Every item stays itemized so it can go out for vendor pricing as is.
IncludedWeld counts
Weld counts, diameter inches and a field weld log from ISOs that don't carry a weld list, split by size, wall and alloy.

More of the bid, same way
Upload the bid package the same way you upload ISOs, and pick the service on the order form.
Scope Review
AI reads the bid package and gives a go / no-go before anyone spends a week estimating it, with the risks, an RFI list and who supplies what.
ROM
An AI-built, one-pass Class 5 rough order of magnitude with the basis and exclusions written out, for when you need a ballpark fast.
E&I Takeoff
AI turns electrical and instrument drawings into an itemized takeoff workbook, the same way it does the piping.
Estimating support
Overflow bids and second-set-of-eyes reviews on piping, civil, E&I and staffing estimates when your team is stretched.
Western Axis also helps estimating departments set up workbook standards, SOPs and estimator training. Ask about it on the order form.
Want to run the tools in-house? The takeoff and review tools behind this service can be licensed for your own estimating team. Ask about a license on the order form.
What to send
ISO drawings
PDFs, one file per drawing or a combined set. A zip is fine.
Skid or section sheets
Only if they're part of the scope you want taken off.
Anything that changes the count
If some lines are by others or out of scope, say so in the notes.
AI, set up by an estimator
The AI behind Pipe Takeoff Pro was set up by a director of project estimating who leads estimating teams across regions, writes the standards and SOPs they work from, and mentors the next group of estimators coming up.
It exists because good estimators shouldn't spend their week counting fittings. A piping takeoff is the most time-consuming part of most industrial bids, and it's exactly the kind of repetitive, line-by-line work AI handles well when it's set up by someone who knows the trade.
Pipe Takeoff Pro is a service of Western Axis LLC, an industrial estimating consultancy.
