Know what supports the scope.
Keep sheets, dimensions, schedules, details, findings, and revisions connected to the work they control.
Construction estimating built from the plans
Turn the plan set into a bid you can defend.
True to Plan connects plan review, takeoffs, trade scope, estimating, contractor decisions, and proposals to the same project evidence—so the bid does not have to be rebuilt at every handoff.

Watch the system do real work
The public site now shows the application—not a drawing of it.
These captures come from the Wanderer Lane synthetic demonstration workflow. The contractor view shows a completed analysis; the operator view shows the controlled reprocessing pipeline behind that result.

What changes for the estimator
The software should do more than produce a fast number.
A useful construction estimate has a chain behind it: what the plans require, what was measured, how the trade will build it, what was priced, and what the customer was ultimately offered.
Focus review where the bid can actually change.
Separate ordinary high-confidence work from missing information, material conflicts, and contractor decisions.
Know exactly what was published.
Preserve the estimate and proposal revision instead of silently overwriting yesterday's answer.
Plan to proposal
One project record. Four contractor-facing stages.
The engine can become more sophisticated without forcing the contractor to learn a new estimating process every time the backend improves.
01Plans
Start from the documents that govern the job.
Bring the plan set into one project record with sheet identity, revisions, schedules, notes, dimensions, and source evidence attached.
02Intelligence
Turn drawings into reviewable project facts.
True to Plan organizes what the engine finds into objects, measurements, relationships, quantities, and findings that remain traceable to the plans.
03Trades
Let each trade use the shared facts correctly.
Trade-specific logic turns the same physical project into framing, MEP, finish, and other working packages instead of forcing every scope through one generic formula.
04Bid
Carry the reviewed work into the commercial result.
Build the estimate, resolve material decisions, and publish proposal revisions without rebuilding the project in disconnected tools.
Revision-aware by design
Improve the answer without erasing how you got there.
Construction plans change. Contractor decisions change. Pricing changes. True to Plan is designed around explicit project and document revisions so a later result can improve without pretending the earlier bid never existed.

Explore the product
Different views of the same project—not disconnected tools.
Review the plans, verify quantities, build trade packages, price the work, and publish the proposal without breaking the evidence chain between them.
Plan intelligence
See what the engine found and where it came from.
Review sheets, findings, dimensions, plan objects, schedules, evidence, and the project state that supports downstream estimating.
Explore →TakeoffsKeep quantities connected to evidence.
Use plan-derived measurements and counts while preserving manual correction for unusual conditions and contractor judgment.
Explore →EstimatingBuild trade-aware scope and pricing.
Move from shared project facts into trade packages, labor, material, subcontract, allowances, risk, overhead, and profit.
Explore →ProposalsPublish from the estimate you actually reviewed.
Carry approved scope, pricing, allowances, alternates, exclusions, and terms into a customer-facing proposal revision.

Before you trust an AI estimate, know what to verify.
Our buyer guide covers the nine checks that matter beyond speed: governing plans, cross-sheet context, evidence, quantities, trade logic, revisions, corrections, uncertainty, and proposal lineage.

What you are seeing—and what True to Plan is built to do.
Is the product shown on this page real?
Yes. The product images on this page are captured from the actual True to Plan application and operator interfaces. The displayed project data is synthetic demonstration data so customer plans, pricing, and project information are never used as public marketing material.
Is True to Plan only a takeoff tool?
No. Takeoff is one part of a connected plan-to-bid workflow that also includes plan intelligence, trade scope, estimating, review decisions, proposal output, and revision-aware project state.
Who is True to Plan built for?
The product is being built for residential general contractors, remodelers, custom builders, and specialty contractors who estimate from construction plans and need the scope, quantity, price, and evidence to stay connected.
Can I try it now?
True to Plan is currently onboarding early users in a controlled pilot. Request early access and the team will follow up about project fit and availability.
