Handoff-H1: An Orchestrated Vision-Agent System for Material Quantity Takeoff from Construction Blueprints

Excerpt

arXiv:2608.15032v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Converting a set of architectural blueprints into a complete material quantity takeoff requires visual perception across drawing sheets, dimensional and multi-hop reasoning, and grounding in construction conventions that the drawings never state. We present Handoff-H1, a takeoff system built from three layers: purpose-built computer-vision models that extract primitives; tool-using agents equipped with image operations and in-house visual-task to
