RECATOOLS Verdict

Kreo speeds up the slowest part of estimating — measuring and counting from drawings — with automated takeoff tools and Caddie, an AI agent that reads plans, runs measurements and answers questions by voice. The entry-level Lite plan already includes Caddie at $35 per user a month, while the automated measuring and counting tools that save the most time need Pro at $175. Capterra reviewers rate it 4.4 out of 5 and like its speed and support, though it needs a constant internet connection and automatic measurements still need checking. Beware confusion with an unrelated Indian electronics brand also called Kreo when researching the company. Good for small and mid-sized estimating teams wanting faster takeoffs; trial it on your own drawings first.

Desk research by RECATOOLS from public sources, written with AI assistance — not a hands-on test. How we review

What we found

Kreo is a cloud platform for construction takeoff and cost estimating from Kreo Software, a London company incorporated in 2017 and run by Magomed Galaev. Estimators upload PDFs, CAD files or images, and Kreo measures areas, lengths and counts, then builds quantities into cost estimates using a no-code database of items and assemblies, Excel templates and reports. Its AI tools include Auto Measure, which detects and measures elements automatically — Kreo claims version 3.0 misses 32% fewer items — One-Click Area, Auto Count and CountFlow playbooks, and Caddie, which Kreo describes as an autonomous agent inside the app that reads drawings, runs measurements and returns quantities, answers by voice, remembers a team's conventions and now keeps chat history. An AI Scope Builder breaks assemblies into individual materials, and an API supports project management.

Some descriptions of Kreo, including our earlier one, mixed it up with an unrelated Bengaluru gaming-hardware company of the same name and credited it with that company's founders and funding. We found no primary source for Kreo Software's funding.

Pricing is per user a month, billed annually, in dollars, pounds or euros, with a seven-day trial. Lite costs $35 and already includes Caddie, AI renaming and scaling, smart labels, unlimited projects, 3D view, plan overlay and PDF export. Plus costs $70 and adds templates, the assemblies database, reports and Excel import and export. Pro, $175, adds the automated measuring and counting tools, premium support and API access through sales; Enterprise adds data migration, advanced permissions, full API integration and AI workflow automation.

Capterra rates Kreo 4.4 out of 5 from 25 reviews, mostly from small firms. Reviewers praise speed and support; one said it saved about 40% of their time, another found Auto Measure "a little messy", and two noted that it cannot be used without an internet connection. Some found it slowed with heavy Excel formulas. Use the trial on real drawings before committing a team.
