# Ruh AI > Ruh AI is the AI construction platform: an AI workforce for the people who build. AI agents run the office side of a construction business — quantity takeoffs, cost estimating, sub-bid leveling, AP invoice matching, sales outreach, and marketing — inside your own tenant, on one project graph, with a human signing every line. Shipped products go live in about a week and are backed by a 100% money-back guarantee. Key facts: - Takeoff Agent and Estimating Agent are shipped: drawing sets (PDF/CAD) in, a priced, source-cited estimate out. Every quantity carries per-item confidence and a page coverage score, and your estimator signs every line. Bids up to 50% faster, measured with a live client. - For general contractors Ruh covers the whole job, not only takeoff: bid package → scope by trade → measured takeoff → priced estimate → sub bid invitations, follow-up, and leveling → budget and baseline schedule → subcontracts, schedule of values, change orders → submittals, RFIs, daily logs → pay applications → closeout packet. Every stage is in production with construction teams today. - The platform spans the project lifecycle on one project graph: Design (Ruh Design, preview) → Bid (Takeoff Agent + Estimating Agent, shipped) → Build (Ruh Builders, preview) → Money (Invoice Agent, early access) → Sales (Construction SDR, live) → Marketing (Marketing for Construction, live). - Runs in your tenant with no data egress: bid sets, unit costs, and sub pricing never leave your environment. Token-based authentication, role-based permissions, and full audit logging. - Works with the tools construction teams already run — Procore, Bluebeam, Sage, QuickBooks, Trimble, Excel — wrapping them rather than replacing them. - The labour and the judgment stay human: agents draft, measure, and match; people decide and sign. ## Construction products - [AI Construction Takeoff & Cost Estimator](https://www.ruh.ai/industrial/construction/takeoff-estimator): Upload a drawing set and get a priced, reviewable estimate — free takeoff walkthrough, 100% money-back guarantee. - [Construction Estimating Software](https://www.ruh.ai/industrial/construction/construction-estimating-software): Nine stages from plans to a priced proposal that fills your own workbook and templates; gaps priced as labeled allowances, never silent zeros. - [Construction Estimating and Takeoff Software](https://www.ruh.ai/industrial/construction/estimating-and-takeoff-software): Takeoff and estimate on one record — quantities measured off the drawings, priced on your own rates, estimator sign-off on every line. - [Property Maintenance Estimating](https://www.ruh.ai/industrial/construction/property-maintenance-estimating): Paint, roofing, siding, and repair scopes measured from walk photos across multi-building properties, priced on your own rates. - [Construction Invoice Software (AP)](https://www.ruh.ai/industrial/construction/construction-invoice-software): Sub and supplier invoices read automatically, matched to commitments and cost codes, and flagged before payment. - [Marketing for Construction](https://www.ruh.ai/industrial/construction/construction-marketing): Case studies, posts, newsletters, and pages that rank — produced by agents from your real project photos and outcomes. - [Construction Project Management (early access)](https://www.ruh.ai/industrial/construction/construction-project-management): The baseline schedule and budget built from the estimate the job was won on; daily logs drafted from field photos and crew time, change orders vetted against the project record, and subcontractors chased before a slip becomes a delay.
