Three steps between the plan set and the bid
Upload the plan set
Drop the PDF. Portravo reads every sheet, architectural, structural, electrical, and plumbing, and pulls quantities mapped to real assemblies.
Plan sets up to 50MB. A sample duplex is loaded for you.
Verify the takeoff
You confirm every line, nothing prices itself. Each line shows its confidence, so you check the shaky ones first.
Inline edits, per-line confidence, one-click confirm above 85%.
Bid with local numbers
Price confirmed quantities with local material listings where available, dated Portravo benchmarks where needed, and your labor rate card. Review costs, set overhead and margin, then export.
Excel for you, PDF for the customer. Source and date on every line.
No plan set? Live is in beta.
Portravo Live turns one site visit into a quote you review, a proposal, and a job plan. It is open to a small beta group while we focus on plan takeoffs. Join the interest list and we will reach out when there is room.
Join the Live interest listCapture
Shoot nameplates and areas from your phone or Mentra Live glasses and talk through the scope. Every photo is read as it lands.
Quote on site
Captures become takeoff lines that cite their evidence. You review each one and price it with your rate card.
Send from the driveway
The customer accepts the proposal from a private link with a typed name, and the job plan drafts from the same estimate.
Beta: open to a small group, added by hand.
Same plans. Different numbers.
