Bobyard has announced the launch of Bobyard Plumbing Takeoff, expanding its trade-specific AI platform into commercial plumbing estimating workflows. Plumbing is one of the largest and most essential specialty trades in construction, with the U.S. plumbing industry projected to reach $191.4 billion in 2026 and include roughly 129,000 businesses nationwide, according to IBISWorld. At the same time, the construction industry continues to face a major labor shortage, putting more pressure on contractors to do more with their existing teams. For commercial plumbing contractors, that pressure extends into preconstruction, where estimators spend hours reviewing P-Series drawings, tracing pipe runs, checking risers and isometric drawings, counting fixtures and components, and organizing takeoffs by floor, system, pipe size, and material.
