About Alkali
Summary
Alkali builds AI takeoff software for structural steel fabricators. It reads construction bid sets, automatically detects and counts beams, columns, joists, braces, and connections, and outputs a bill of materials with tonnage calculations, 3D model, and nesting plans. It replaces manual quantity takeoff and scope review that estimators previously did by hand across large drawing packages.
Go-to-market
Steel fabricators and estimators are the buyers, and they can start immediately without signing up through a browser-based tool that requires no onboarding.
