October 15, 2025, 7:44 AM EDT. Coastal Construction in Tampa Bay is deploying Togal.AI, an AI-powered platform, to accelerate measurement, planning, and design for its Pendry Tampa project. By uploading blueprints, plans, and material counts, the system automatically computes wall center lines, perimeters, areas, and quantities, reducing weeks of manual prep to near-instant insight. Togal.CHAT lets teams query building-materials and project specifics with a ChatGPT-powered interface. The tool aims to cut pre-construction time and costs, helping move projects from planning to construction faster. Pendry Tampa and Pendry Residences Tampa on Ashley Drive-a 38-story luxury hotel and condo tower-are among the major projects benefiting as Coastal seeks tighter coordination and efficiency through AI-driven workflows.
October 15, 2025, 7:42 AM EDT. Coastal Construction in the Tampa Bay area is deploying its own AI tool, Togal.AI, to measure, plan and design large projects such as the Pendry Tampa and Pendry Residences Tampa. By uploading blueprints and other design data, the system calculates wall areas, materials, and counts, speeding tasks that used to take weeks. Senior project engineer Nate Ripkey notes Togal.AI can label window types, provide sources, and answer questions via a ChatGPT-powered interface for materials or project specifics. The approach aims to cut pre-construction and planning time by about 20-25%, helping reduce costs and accelerate the build schedule across a project that includes a 38-story hotel and condo tower.
