Tangible offers an AI‑driven platform that automatically extracts material quantities, cost, and carbon intensity from 3D models, drawings, and PDFs, providing live, project‑specific metrics. The system flags outliers and trends, enabling architects, developers, contractors, and consultants to identify material over‑use and optimize designs early, with exportable spreadsheets and API‑ready data for seamless workflow integration.

Problem
Design and construction teams often rely on manual takeoffs and fragmented data sources to estimate material quantities, costs, and carbon emissions, resulting in inaccurate budgets, missed sustainability targets, and delayed value‑engineering decisions.
Solution
Tangible provides an AI‑driven platform that automatically extracts structured material data from 3D models, drawings, and PDFs. The system delivers live, project‑specific metrics for quantities, cost per square foot, and carbon intensity, enabling teams to assess financial and environmental impacts side by side. By continuously monitoring the data, Tangible flags outliers and trends, helping users identify over‑use of materials such as concrete and uncover optimization opportunities early in the design process. Exportable spreadsheets and API‑ready data allow seamless integration into existing workflows, supporting faster decision‑making without waiting for traditional value‑engineering cycles.
Target Audience
Primary users are architects, developers, general contractors, and engineering consultants who need accurate, up‑to‑date material data to inform design, budgeting, and sustainability decisions.
Features
- AI-powered takeoffs that convert 3D models, CAD drawings, and PDFs into structured material quantities
- Real‑time cost and carbon intensity calculations displayed per square foot and per material type
- Automated outlier detection with notifications (e.g., “building uses 6% more concrete than comparable projects”)
- Export of quantified data to XLSX for downstream analysis and reporting
- Dashboard view of key building metrics such as concrete efficiency, window‑wall ratio, slab thickness, and parking density
- API‑compatible data output for integration with cost estimating, BIM, and sustainability tools
