From drawings
to an estimate,
with reasoning.
Multi-trade sub-agents read the drawings, perform takeoffs, and cross-reference a regional pricing knowledge graph. An orchestrator brings them together into a detailed conceptual estimate, with reasoning a senior estimator can audit.

The pinch point
10 people, 4–6 weeks.
Replaced by multi-trade sub-agents running in parallel. This is the work that doesn’t scale, and the work the Human Emulator owns end-to-end.
Without Ruh
Regional pricing variance. Audit-ability.
With Ruh AI
Knowledge graph by region, date, vendor tier. Every dollar → takeoff line → price-sheet entry.
How it works
Four stages. One Human Emulator.
Sequential stages that run inside your existing tools.
READ
Drawing & spec comprehension
First, the agent fully understands the drawings. It reads every sheet, every spec division, every addendum. Returns confidence per area and logs open questions as RFIs, never guesses silently.
TAKEOFF
Multi-trade takeoff
One sub-agent per trade, electrical, plumbing, concrete, earthwork, roofing. Each one focused on its own scope, reading the drawings, performing quantity takeoffs with confidence per line.
PRICE
Regional price lookup
A knowledge graph holds your supplier price sheets, historical job data, and regional variation. Each trade's quantities get priced against the right region, the right date, the right vendor tier.
ORCHESTRATE
Estimate orchestration
An orchestrator brings every trade's output together into a detailed conceptual estimate. Every assumption listed. Every exclusion called out. A senior estimator can audit the whole thing.

What changes
Outcomes you can point at.
Hours, not weeks
From 10 people × 4–6 weeks to hours of agent runtime.
Verifiable reasoning
Every dollar traces back to a takeoff line and a price-sheet entry.
Region-aware
Pricing varies by jurisdiction; estimate respects it automatically.
Assumptions & exclusions
What the agent assumed and what it skipped, all listed.
