Handoff Launches New AI Agent for Instant Construction Estimating from Drawings, Photos, and More

New AI agent turns site photos, drawings and videos into detailed residential construction estimates in seconds

AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, July 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Handoff, the leading AI‑first estimating platform for residential construction businesses, today unveiled a new AI Assistant, the industry’s first agent that instantly transforms drawings, photos, videos and other project files into accurate, localized estimates and ready‑to‑send proposals, all from a single chat thread.

“Contractors deserve to spend their time building, not juggling documents and spreadsheets,” said Dmitry Alexin, Founder and CEO of Handoff. “Now you can walk into a jobsite, snap a few photos and drive away with a polished estimate and proposal before the engine cools. Our new AI assistant is like hiring a full back‑office team.”

Key features of the new Handoff release:
1. Instant construction estimates from files: Upload drawings, site photos or walkthrough videos; the AI extracts dimensions, counts materials and prices the scope automatically.
2. Assistant‑anywhere workflow: From any screen, ask the AI to create estimates, proposals, change orders, invoices, and more without navigating through menus.
3. AI‑native file management: Store and tag every project file in one place; files are easily retrievable via the new AI assistant

Early customers report cutting proposal turnaround times from hours to minutes while improving bid accuracy thanks to the Handoff Agent.

The AI Assistant and new file‑management tools roll out to all Handoff users starting July 7, 2025. Contractors new to Handoff can start a free trial at handoff.ai.
