Practical Summary

Using Togal.AI delivered about 70% time savings for common takeoff tasks while keeping accuracy within ~5% compared to On-Screen Takeoff, with the biggest discrepancies showing up in smaller quantities. The paper emphasizes that AI improves productivity when paired with human review and manual adjustments, rather than replacing professional judgment.
