Bobyard

AI-powered landscaping takeoff and estimation platform

Overview

Bobyard offers an AI-powered takeoff and estimation platform for landscaping contractors. It automates the process of quantifying counts, lengths, and areas from landscaping plans so estimating teams can generate bids faster. The system uses AI trained on a large dataset of landscaping drawings to automatically extract measurements and quantities. A key feature is Pattern Search, which calculates square footage directly from plans. As a SaaS product, it provides tools to create accurate bids and scopes of work (SOWs), helping contractors increase their bidding capacity and streamline preconstruction tasks. Compared to competitors, Bobyard focuses specifically on landscaping, with automated measurement and SOW generation designed to speed up bidding and reduce manual work. The goal is to help landscaping professionals bid more quickly and accurately, enabling them to take on more projects and improve preconstruction efficiency.
