Takeoffs that count themselves
Upload the drawings and Quarry counts receptacles, measures concrete, and totals square footage sheet by sheet. Every quantity links to the sheet it came from and carries a confidence score, so your estimator reviews instead of recounting.
- Quantities by CSI division, linked to source sheets
- Low-confidence quantities flagged for review
- Cost per square foot and per unit compared to past work
Level bids in minutes, not weekends
Quarry normalizes every bid to your bid form, lines up exclusions and alternates side by side, and calls out the scope gaps between bidders before you award.
- Bid packages with invitations and coverage tracking
- Exclusions and alternates compared line by line
- Buyout recommendation drafted for your review
Know who you are hiring
Keep EMR, bonding, single-project limits, workforce size, and insurance expiry for every subcontractor in one register, and ask it questions in plain words, like “electrical subs qualified for $20M with EMR under 0.8.”

- Insurance and certification expiry alerts

Can Fulcrum do quantity takeoffs from PDF drawings?
Yes. Quarry reads the drawing set, counts and measures by sheet, and links every quantity back to its source so an estimator can check it. Anything it is unsure of is flagged with a confidence score.
How does bid leveling work in Fulcrum?
Bids are normalized to your bid form, then exclusions, alternates, and scope gaps are lined up side by side. Quarry drafts a buyout recommendation, and a person makes and records the award.
Does preconstruction live in the same platform as the project?
Yes. Pursuits, estimates, bid packages, and prequalification sit in the same platform as delivery, so the people, companies, and documents you start with carry straight into the project.
