Vega uses AI to detect rooms and measure floor areas from PDF plans, then turns your material assignments into editable flooring material and labor estimates.
From room-by-room area takeoff to a priced flooring estimate — connected directly to the plan.
ROOM TAKEOFF
Upload the floor plan
Start with the architectural floor plan. Vega reads the PDF and prepares the sheet for room detection — no dedicated finish plan or flooring schedule required.
AI detects rooms
Vega analyzes the floor plan with an AI vision reader and detects room polygons — bedrooms, baths, kitchens, living rooms, halls — placing each as an editable boundary on the takeoff canvas.
Measure area & perimeter
From each detected room polygon, Vega calculates the room’s floor area in square feet and its perimeter in linear feet — the two geometric inputs every flooring quantity is built on.
Assign flooring material
The estimator assigns the appropriate flooring material to each room — carpet, LVP, hardwood, laminate, and more — using a paint-bucket workflow directly on the plan. Material selection stays under human control.
Build material & labor
Reviewed room areas and material assignments feed Vega’s flooring estimator — material quantities, accessories, perimeter-based trim, and labor — priced from an editable flooring catalog.
Review & export
Carry the priced flooring estimate into a proposal alongside the other trades — one project, one proposal — and export to PDF, Excel, or Word.

Vega detects rooms and measures their geometry. The estimator assigns the flooring material — keeping material selection under human control. Tile estimating is handled through Vega\u2019s dedicated Tile trade.
The takeoff goes beyond floor area. After material assignment, Vega calculates applicable quantities for the supported flooring system — underlayment, pad, adhesives, fasteners, moisture barrier, and perimeter-based trim — based on the material assigned to each room.
Flooring SF
Room floor area drives the material quantity for the assigned flooring type.
Perimeter LF
Room perimeter drives base, transition, quarter round, and tack strip quantities.
Underlayment & pad
Underlayment for laminate, LVP, and hardwood; pad for carpet — calculated from floor SF.
Moisture & vapor barrier
Vapor barrier over concrete subfloors for laminate and LVP — calculated from floor SF.
Adhesives & fasteners
Coverage-based adhesive for glue-down installations; fasteners for nail/staple-down hardwood.
Baseboard & quarter round
Perimeter-based trim quantities derived from room geometry — not detected as plan symbols.
Quantities are calculated from measured room geometry and the assigned flooring type. Vega does not calculate carton quantities, roll quantities, or waste-adjusted quantities.
Vega uses each room\u2019s perimeter to calculate applicable trim and transition quantities. These quantities are derived from room geometry — they are not detected as symbols from the drawing.
Base and transition quantities are derived from room geometry. Vega does not detect base or transition symbols on the plan.
Detected room polygons appear over the plan underlay. Room names remain visible, material assignments are shown visually, unassigned rooms can be identified, and room boundaries can be corrected. Review and edit flooring takeoffs directly on the plan — every room is visible and every assignment is yours to set.
See rooms on the plan
Detected room polygons are placed over the plan image at their detected positions, so you can visually review the AI-generated room boundaries instead of trusting a black-box number.
Edit room boundaries
Every detected room polygon is editable. Correct a boundary the AI drew wrong, split a room it merged, or adjust a wall the reader missed — the area and perimeter recompute immediately.
Assign & change materials
Pick a flooring material and paint it onto rooms directly on the plan. Change a room’s material without rebuilding the takeoff — the quantities follow the assignment.
Spot unassigned rooms
Rooms with no flooring assignment are flagged so nothing slips through. Every room is visible, every area is accounted for, and every assignment is yours to set.
Edit any price or quantity
Material prices, labor rates, coverage assumptions, and prep toggles are all editable. Changes cascade through every total; clearing overrides restores the defaults.
Include, exclude, or add lines
Remove a line you do not want to bid, add a custom item for a specialty accessory, and adjust the final estimate — the AI starts the takeoff, you stay in control.

Floor preparation is user-controlled. Add floor-prep scope where the job requires it — self-leveling, existing flooring removal, subfloor patching, moisture barrier, and more. Vega does not automatically detect floor-prep conditions from the plans.
Floor-prep items are user-controlled estimate lines. Vega does not automatically detect subfloor conditions, moisture, or existing flooring from the plans.
Each flooring system carries its own material, accessory, and labor quantities. Assign the material to each room and Vega builds the quantities for that system — all from the same room-based workflow.
Quantities are calculated from measured room geometry and the assigned flooring type. Vega does not calculate carton quantities, roll quantities, or waste-adjusted quantities.
Residential flooring is the strongest workflow. Current commercial flooring types also include VCT, rubber flooring, polished concrete, and epoxy — estimated from the same room-based workflow. Estimate common residential flooring systems and selected commercial flooring types from the same room-based workflow.
Commercial flooring types are supported as installed per-SF lines. Vega does not provide manufacturer specifications, commercial finish schedule extraction, product-grade selection, or healthcare flooring specification compliance.

AI DOES
Detects rooms & measures
YOU CONTROL
Assign materials & price
The estimator remains responsible for the material choice. Vega does not automatically identify flooring types, read finish schedules, or infer materials from room names.
FLOORING SUBCONTRACTORS & CONTRACTORS
Focus on the room areas, the material assignments, and the trim quantities — and carry it into a trade-specific bid without rebuilding the takeoff from scratch.
GENERAL CONTRACTORS & ESTIMATORS
Estimate flooring alongside framing, drywall, electrical, and plumbing — one project, one proposal — instead of rebuilding each scope in a separate tool.
Built for residential flooring estimating and adaptable to many multifamily and commercial takeoff workflows. Vega does not perform manufacturer-level pricing, finish schedule extraction, or waste calculation.
Flooring estimating software helps contractors turn construction plans into flooring quantities — room-by-room floor area, perimeter-based trim, and material quantities by flooring type — and then into material and labor pricing and a reviewable estimate. Vega is built around that workflow for flooring contractors, subcontractors, and estimators.
Yes. Upload a PDF floor plan and Vega analyzes it with an AI vision reader, detecting room polygons and measuring each room’s floor area and perimeter. You review the rooms on the plan, assign the flooring material to each room, and carry the reviewed quantities into a priced estimate.
Yes. Vega uses AI to detect rooms from the floor plan and measures each room’s floor area in square feet and its perimeter in linear feet directly from the detected room polygon. The area and perimeter are the geometric inputs every flooring quantity is built on.
No. Vega uses AI to detect and measure rooms. The estimator then assigns the appropriate flooring material to each room, keeping material selection under human control. Vega does not automatically identify flooring types, read finish schedules, or infer materials from room names — the material assignment is an estimator decision made directly on the plan.
Vega uses a paint-bucket workflow on the takeoff canvas. Pick a flooring material — carpet, LVP, hardwood, laminate, and more — and click rooms to assign it. Change a room’s material at any time without rebuilding the takeoff; the material and accessory quantities follow the assignment. Rooms with no assignment are flagged so nothing is missed.
Yes. Vega estimates carpet (with pad, tack strip, and transitions), LVP and LVT (with underlayment, moisture barrier, adhesive, and quarter round), laminate, engineered hardwood, and solid hardwood — each with its own material, accessory, and labor quantities. Commercial flooring types including VCT, rubber flooring, polished concrete, and epoxy are also supported.
Yes. Vega calculates baseboard, quarter round, transition strips, tack strip, and selected nosing quantities from each room’s perimeter. These quantities are derived from room geometry — they are not detected as symbols from the drawing. The perimeter is measured from the detected room polygon, and the trim quantities follow.
Yes. Every detected room polygon is placed over the plan and is fully editable — correct boundaries, split rooms, or adjust walls. You can assign and change flooring materials, edit material and labor prices, change coverage assumptions, toggle floor-prep scope, add custom lines, include or exclude estimate lines, and adjust markup. The AI starts the takeoff; you stay in control of the final numbers.
Yes. Reviewed room areas and material assignments feed Vega’s flooring estimator, which prices material, accessories, perimeter-based trim, floor prep, and labor from an editable flooring catalog. Material and labor pricing is editable, and the estimate carries editable union and non-union labor multipliers. The result is a priced flooring estimate you can edit and carry into a proposal.
