Sparkel is a cloud-native platform that enables AI-assisted quantity take-offs directly from 2D PDFs and 3D BIM models (IFC, Revit), all via a browser.
It automates the process of drawing, measuring, and calculating quantities, and presents them in visual, collaborative tables that update live as project data changes.
Sparkel uses generative AI and chat-like prompts (powered by GPT-4) to parse documents — extracting areas, counts, and other metric, and generate interactive take-off tables.
It supports hybrid workflows, combining the precision of model-based quantification with sheet-based validation, supports version comparison, and maintains auditability.
Sparkel is aimed at general contractors, specialty contractors, quantity surveyors, and estimators working with design documents.
