Micro Estimating Partners with MeltPlan to Deliver Faster, More Accurate, and More Affordable Construction Estimates

By combining MeltPlan’s advanced AI takeoffs with decades of combined estimating expertise, the partnership makes fast, reliable, and affordable cost estimates accessible to contractors.

[SAN FRANCISCO, CA] - [Jul 23, 2026] - Micro Estimating, a trusted provider of construction estimating and cost management solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with MeltPlan, an innovator in artificial intelligence for the construction industry. The partnership is set to transform how contractors, developers, and builders approach pre-construction by delivering significantly faster, more affordable, and highly accurate project estimates.

Through this collaboration, Micro Estimating integrates MeltPlan’s state-of-the-art AI takeoff technology directly into its workflow. By leveraging AI to automate complex plan takeoffs, Micro Estimating dramatically reduces manual processing time and human error.

These AI-generated takeoffs are then coupled with the deep, in-house estimating expertise of both MeltPlan and Micro Estimating. Backed by Micro Estimating’s comprehensive historical cost database, built on data from hundreds of successfully completed projects, the joint solution ensures that every estimate reflects real-world market conditions and precise project scopes.

"Accuracy and speed are everything in pre-construction today," said Henry Tooryani, Principal / Founder at Micro Estimating. "By pairing MeltPlan’s cutting-edge AI takeoff capabilities with our extensive historical cost database and expert estimators, we are eliminating the trade-off between speed and precision. Developers, Designers, and Contractors can now get rock-solid quotes in a fraction of the time, at a price point that makes sense for their bottom line.”

Key Benefits of the Partnership Include:

• Unrivaled Accuracy: Merges AI plan processing with a vast proprietary database of past project costs and double-checks from seasoned estimators.

• Rapid Turnaround Times: Automated takeoffs drastically shorten the time required to move from initial blueprints to a final bid.

• Cost-Effective Estimating: AI efficiencies allow contractors of all sizes to access top-tier estimating services without heavy overhead.

• Expert Oversight: AI speeds up the process, but human expertise validates every detail to ensure zero missed scope items.

"The productivity game in construction is won or lost long before physical building ever starts," added Tanmaya Kala (TK), Co-Founder & COO at MeltPlan. "Our goal at MeltPlan is to eliminate the manual heavy lifting from pre-construction. Partnering with Micro Estimating allows us to pair our AI takeoff engine with decades of hands-on estimating experience on both sides and deep cost data, giving contractors unprecedented accuracy and turnaround times on their bids."
