AGTEK Introduces Reveal Transform
AI‑powered data preparation for faster, smarter takeoff and production
(Livermore, California, 26 February 2026) AGTEK, part of Hexagon, today announced Reveal Transform, a new AI module that simplifies and accelerates how contractors convert plan sets into actionable digital data.
Built specifically for the heavy construction industry, Reveal Transform uses AI‑assisted automation to reconstruct PDF plan sheets back into CAD‑like digital form, eliminating hours of manual cleanup and enabling estimators and project teams to understand quantities earlier, with higher accuracy, and far less effort.
Turning PDF plans into structured, usable data – fast
Reveal Transform addresses a persistent bottleneck in heavy construction: preparing plan data for takeoff and modeling. With a guided, step‑by‑step workflow, the new module enables users to:
- Quickly reassemble PDF plan sheets into clean, structured digital linework.
- Automatically extract and convert text into usable data.
- Snap, align, and classify plan elements with AI assistance.
- Align sheets to real‑world coordinates.
- Export clean, ready‑to‑use data into AGTEK’s Gradework platform for the fastest takeoffs and machine control model.
Driving value across estimating and construction
Reveal Transform allows contractors to put data to work earlier in the project lifecycle, improving quantity accuracy at bid stage and establishing a consistent digital foundation that carries through to project delivery and production tracking. By accelerating bid turnaround in compressed tender cycles, reducing manual rework in pre-bid quantities and standardising takeoff workflows across teams, it helps organisations move from plans to dependable data with greater speed and confidence.
“As bid cycles shorten and skilled estimators remain in short supply, contractors need faster ways to convert plans into dependable quantities,” says Matthew Desmond, President at AGTEK. “The industry is moving toward more connected, data-driven workflows, yet too often that process still begins with manual plan cleanup. Reveal Transform helps establish reliable digital data at the outset, improving bid-stage accuracy and supporting connected workflows through to production.”
Reveal Transform is scheduled for release in March 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Reveal Transform is AGTEK’s AI-powered plan preparation technology designed to automate many of the time-consuming steps required before takeoff and modeling can begin. It helps contractors convert project plans into usable data faster, reducing manual effort and accelerating the path to accurate quantities.
Reveal Transform uses AI to identify and prepare plan information that traditionally required significant manual setup. By reducing repetitive tasks and speeding up project preparation, estimators can focus more on analyzing quantities, evaluating risks, and building competitive bids.
No. Reveal Transform is designed to assist estimators, not replace them. The technology helps automate plan preparation while allowing users to review, validate, and refine results using their expertise and project knowledge before completing the estimate.
Reveal Transform helps contractors reduce takeoff preparation time, improve workflow efficiency, and start estimating sooner. By accelerating the early stages of the estimating process, teams can bid more work, respond faster to opportunities, and maintain confidence in their results.
