Built into the Ikena operator suite

Scope a renovation in
60 seconds.

The AI Scope Generator is a feature inside Ikena, our operator suite for Hawaii contractors. Photos + address + a couple of notes go in; a phase-by-phase scope with line-item ranges, contingency, and Hawaii GE tax gross-up comes back out — all stored against the project so it's ready to become a quote.

It's not a standalone tool — it lives inside your Ikena tenant so the scope flows straight into your project room, change orders, and invoicing.

Photos + address in

Multi-photo upload from iPhone, paste a TMK, or pull from a RoomPlan scan you already have. Address looks up against our 384K-parcel Hawaii GIS layer (TMK, zone, acres, lava zone).

Claude writes the scope

Phase breakdown (demo · framing · electrical · finish · cleanup), labor and material ranges with low/likely/high, 8-15% contingency, Hawaii GE tax gross-up computed against current statute.

Lives in your project room

Approved scope auto-creates a draft change-order line item, attaches photos to the project file, and surfaces in the /ops dashboard. One click sends a client-facing version through the portal.

Sample output

What a generated scope actually looks like

Why operators stop using spreadsheets after a week

It reads the photos. RoomPlan scans drop straight in. No measuring with a tape twice.
It handles Hawaii contractor tax. Sub deductions computed per HRS §237-13. GE gross-up math is already in the line items.
It learns your pricing. Each scope you accept tunes the model toward your shop's actual line-item history.
It hands off to the rest of Ikena. Approved scope → draft change order → invoice. Photos stay attached. Client sees the polished version in their portal.
