Struvia is AI preconstruction software for commercial contractors. It reads a PDF plan set, measures areas, lengths and counts by trade, and prices the estimate using a company price book built from past jobs. The same account then sources subcontractors, sends bid packages and levels the bids that come back, so one flow runs from plan to leveled bids.
The company is based in Provo, Utah, and was started by Baylor Jeppsen (CEO) and Weston Burnett (CTO), who come from backgrounds in information systems, finance and commercial real estate. Struvia positions itself against manual takeoff in Bluebeam or On-Screen Takeoff, and against AI tools that stop at measurements and leave the pricing to the estimator.
A user drops in a PDF plan set, up to 200 MB. Struvia reads the whole set on metered credits and shows an estimated cost range before it measures anything. It then measures each sheet, prices the quantities in the contractor's own template, and traces quantities back to the plan so the estimator can review the takeoff and pricing before sending bids.
For bidding, Struvia starts from the job's address instead of the contractor's contact list. It finds subs whose service area covers the site, checks licenses and email deliverability, and sends per-trade bid packages. It answers sub questions from the plans and levels the bids that come back. Corrections are kept, so the next estimate needs less input.
On the estimating side, Struvia offers plan-set takeoff by trade, estimates grouped by trade and CSI division, and company training that teaches it pricing from past bids and estimates. Plan Chat answers questions about a plan, estimate or bid, such as what a tenant improvement will cost and which trades drive the total. A free Plan Check returns ranked findings, draft RFIs and an exclusions list.
On the subcontractor side, each sub is checked for service area, state license status where boards are available, verified insurance and email deliverability. A sub with an active license and verified insurance is marked Vetted. A connector also lets ChatGPT or Claude list jobs, view the takeoff on the plans and export a bill of quantities as CSV, with confirmation before any write.

Struvia uses credits at $0.20 each with no seats or subscription. Floor-plan sheets start at $6 and no sheet costs more than $27, and bid emails are $0.10 each. The company says real plan sets it has run cost $30 to $85 to measure and price.
New accounts get 600 free credits, worth $120, once they confirm an email. No card is needed. Struvia also offers a free plan audit that returns ranked findings, draft RFIs and an exclusions list.
Struvia is built for commercial general contractors, preconstruction managers and estimators who want plan-based takeoffs and priced estimates. It is also useful for bidding jobs in states where the contractor knows no subs.
Struvia confirms the sub's service area covers the site, checks the license with the state board where available, and shows whether it has verified insurance. It also drops emails that bounce. A sub with an active license and verified insurance is marked Vetted.
The site lists Utah, Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, Massachusetts and Nevada for license checks against state boards today. It says it does not claim a sub in every town.
The sources name a connector for ChatGPT and Claude. After signing in with OAuth, the assistant can read jobs, build takeoffs and export estimates, and it asks for confirmation before any write.
Struvia reports that 8 of 12 selected single-sheet quantities were within 1% of hand-traced totals. It also lists misses, including a 12.2% overage on foundation walls and a full-plan slab ratio of 0.77, and says results are not a guarantee for your job.
