AI BOQ
About AI BOQ
AI BOQ automates the generation of Bills of Quantities (BOQ) from architectural drawings using generative vision AI and engineering standards. Users upload floor plans or PDFs and the system scans walls, doors, windows, and structural lines to extract dimensions and features. Invisible construction parameters such as wall height, trench depth, concrete mix, and plaster thickness can be configured to refine estimates. An interactive assistant allows direct conversation with the drawing context to verify quantities, adjust assumptions, and trace calculations. The tool produces structured tables with item categories, exact quantities, unit rates, and totals, which can be exported to PDF or Excel. All adjustments occur within a sandboxed, security-compliant document pipeline that syncs instantly with active estimates. The platform is designed for modern construction teams including contractors, quantity surveyors, civil engineers, and estimators who need fast, accurate, and auditable cost previews for tendering, verification, or auditing purposes.
