Ceiling Systems
AI-powered ceiling systems takeoff software
Ceiling takeoffs require reading the reflected ceiling plan (RCP), the ceiling tile schedule, and the acoustical ceiling spec. PreCal-IQ extracts square footage by ceiling type per room from the RCP and ties it back to the spec for grid type, tile material, and edge details.
What's included
Every ceiling systems item, accounted for
- Acoustical ceiling tile (ACT) by square foot per room
- Grid types (15/16", 9/16", concealed)
- Specialty ceilings (wood, metal, stretch fabric)
- Ceiling-mounted access panels
- Soffit framing and trim

Yes. PreCal-IQ's ceiling systems takeoff software reads your spec book and drawings together, then generates the takeoff automatically. Acoustical ceilings, suspended grid, and specialty ceilings.
What does the ceiling systems takeoff include?
Acoustical ceiling tile (ACT) by square foot per room. Grid types (15/16", 9/16", concealed). Specialty ceilings (wood, metal, stretch fabric). Ceiling-mounted access panels. Soffit framing and trim.
How does PreCal-IQ compare to manual ceiling systems takeoffs?
Manual ceiling systems takeoffs take hours per project and miss items that AI catches consistently. PreCal-IQ runs the same scope in minutes, surfaces ambiguities for review, and keeps a record of every assumption.
How much does PreCal-IQ cost?
PreCal-IQ plans start at $499/month for unlimited takeoffs. See precaliq.com/pricing for the full plan breakdown.
