Orys AI

Orys AI is a cost estimating and takeoff platform built for commercial electrical contractors bidding strip malls, restaurants, and commercial buildings. The platform automates the time-consuming parts of the estimating process - processing vendor quotes, updating cost catalogs, detecting blueprint symbols - while keeping estimators in control of every number. No AI action executes without explicit user approval.

Key Features

• AI-Assisted Cost Catalog: Estimators manage catalog items and assemblies through conversational AI commands. Vendor quotes and PDFs are ingested and organized automatically, with pricing extracted and structured without manual data entry.
• Smart Symbol Detection: Estimators draw a box around one blueprint symbol, and the platform identifies every matching instance across the drawing automatically, eliminating manual counting.
• Canvas-Based Takeoff: Project drawings are uploaded directly to a canvas interface where estimators perform measurements, area takeoffs, and device counts linked to live catalog pricing.
• Full History Tracking: Every catalog change is recorded with a timestamp and user attribution, giving teams a single source of truth and eliminating version conflicts.
• Team Collaboration: Multiple estimators work simultaneously within the same shared live catalog with real-time cost updates.

ROI and Customer Results

The vendor states that one of their customers, a commercial electrical contractor estimated a $2M military base project in 5 hours - a job that previously took 2 full days on spreadsheets. They further state that another contractor reduced a $60M industrial project estimate from 2 weeks to 2 days.

Deployment and Pricing

Orys AI is cloud-hosted with no installation required. Pricing starts at $299/month for the Construction Plan, with an annual option at $249/month. A free account with no credit card required is available for teams evaluating the platform. Enterprise pricing is available for larger contractors requiring custom catalog setup and dedicated support.
