Verso Plans is for the whole front end of a job. A set of plans lands in your inbox, and before you commit to a bid you need to read them - what's the scope, where are the tricky details, roughly how big is it? Verso Plans gets you those answers fast, and then carries you through the takeoff when the job is real.
Open the PDF, calibrate any page to its scale, and start working: measure rooms and runs, count fixtures, mark up details to discuss with the team, and drop notes on anything that needs clarification. Set up conditions and every line you draw becomes quantity - lengths, areas, counts - feeding a priced worksheet with your own rates and margin. When a revision shows up, compare it against the old set and see exactly what changed before it costs you.
The AI tools read the paperwork so you don't miss the traps: point them at the contract or the spec book and get a checklist review of scope, exclusions, and flags - using your own AI key or running fully local. When the bid moves forward, export the worksheet to Excel for the office and share a flattened PDF with your markups so everyone's looking at the same thing. Built by a working drywall and framing subcontractor, for how bidding actually goes.
Projects no longer require plans: spec review and contract screening now work as standalone workflows, so you can start a bid from just the spec book or front-end documents. Specification accepts multiple PDFs with drag and drop, and each checklist scans across the whole set at once. Spec and Contracts now share one design, with a pre-scan preview showing every field a checklist will look for. AI engine selection lives in Settings and is reflected on both pages.
New Rates Library tab with auto-applied saved rates. Worksheet adds a Library column, section grouping, sort arrows, and a bigger Total. Front-canvas Library start screen replaces the old Open dialog. Units now uppercase and color-coded (FT, SF, EA). Faster worksheet recompute on heavy takeoffs.
