Rudus is an AI-powered takeoff and estimation platform built specifically for concrete contractors. The software automates measuring and quantifying materials from concrete plan sheets, which the company says cuts takeoff time by about 70% and lets estimators bid on 3-5x more projects without adding headcount. It targets the manual, time-intensive estimating workflows common in concrete construction. Rudus is part of Y Combinator's Spring 2026 batch.
