When to choose Kreo instead

  • You're a GC or architect who lives in PDF takeoffs and bid submissions — that's Kreo's core workflow.
  • You need BIM model parsing and 3D quantity takeoffs from architectural drawings.
  • You need enterprise cost database integration (Spon's Architects' and Builders' Price Book, etc.).
  • Your workflow is a full estimating pipeline from drawings to bid — not shop floor or field ops.
