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
