The Takeoff function in Cato helps you transform complex items into clear, structured information you can act on with confidence. By using Cato’s AI agent, Takeoff extracts key details and organizes them into a consistent format.

Inside a project, you can create a Takeoff by selecting an item and running the Takeoff function. Cato analyzes the item and generates a structured output, making it easier to understand quantities, scope, and critical details without reviewing everything manually.

Creating a Takeoff provides a reliable foundation for the next steps in your workflow. It allows you to review information more efficiently and prepares your project for validation and comparison in later stages.
