About ChatGPT for Construction

Quick answer

ChatGPT for Construction is a practical reference on using general AI assistants in construction, published by Field24. Field24 is our editorial pick for takeoffs and estimates; ChatGPT and Claude details come from OpenAI's and Anthropic's public materials, and accuracy numbers come from tests on real plan sets.

How we test

We give each AI the same real plan sets and compare its takeoff with a professional estimator's, line by line. Accuracy rewards finding each item and getting its quantity right.

Up to 88% depending on the trade: this is drywall and framing, scored against takeoffs by professional estimators on the same plans, with individual plans as high as 96%. On complete, all-trade takeoffs it also came out ahead of both. How we test ↗
