Kreo Software

Kreo is an AI takeoff and estimating platform for quantity surveyors, cost estimators, and contractors. Its Auto Measure tool detects and measures rooms, walls, doors, windows, and custom areas on uploaded PDF, CAD, or image drawings. Auto Count finds and counts matching objects across all pages of a drawing. The Caddie AI agent reads drawings, runs measurements, answers questions about plans, and supports a self-serve skill builder. The platform also includes a no-code Items and Assemblies database that converts takeoff measurements into material, labor, and equipment costs, plus live-linked reports exportable to Excel, CSV, and PDF. The website states it is cloud-based, requires no installation, and works on Windows and Mac. Pricing is listed in USD, GBP, and EUR across Essential, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans, each with a 7-day free trial.
