The BOQ, Built For You

Upload your drawings and Takeoff measures, counts, and itemises every material into a structured bill of quantities. No scale rule, no spreadsheets, no manual takeoff.

02 · Live Pricing

Live Market Pricing

Every BOQ line matched against live supplier catalogues. Real prices, real stock levels, refreshed the moment the market moves, so your estimate never goes stale.

03 · Labour Costs

Labour, Fully Costed

Productivity rates applied to every task. Crew sizes, hours on site, and labour rates calculated line by line, so you know the true cost of the build, not just the materials.

Step 02 · The BOQ

AN NRM2 BOQ, IN MINUTES.

Minutes later you have a measured bill of quantities, structured to NRM2: item codes, descriptions, quantities and units. Every line carries a confidence flag and traces back to the sheet it came from.

  • NRM2 sections & item codes
  • Confidence flag on every line
  • Traceable back to the sheet

Step 03 · Pricing & Labour

PRICES, SOURCED LIVE.

Every row is priced against live merchant catalogues: Travis Perkins, Toolstation, Screwfix and Kellaway. AI assigns trades and output rates for labour, and subcontractor quotes drop in as fixed lines. One rollup: materials, labour, subcontract.

SCHEDULES, GENERATED.

Door, window, finish and services schedules come straight off the BOQ, one row per door, to UK conventions: fire ratings, leaf sizes, doorset types, every row traced back to its drawing. Export any of them as PDF or Excel.

THE PROGRAMME, MANAGED.

The priced BOQ becomes a working programme. Activities cascade from their dependencies, weekends and bank holidays are skipped automatically, and subcontractor deliveries land as milestones on the chart.

  • Dates cascade from dependencies
  • Working days only · holidays skipped

THE PACK,

DECODED.

Real packs arrive messy: three revisions of the same plan, planning drawings mixed in with construction issues, a schedule that disagrees with the plan. Takeoff resolves the set before it measures anything, then shows you exactly which sheets fed the BOQ and which it held back, with the reason for each.

Consolidation

COUNTED ONCE.

NOT ONCE PER SHEET.

The same downlight appears on the ceiling plan, the GA plan and the services layout. Measure sheet by sheet and you bill it three times. Takeoff names one master sheet per element: ceiling fittings are counted off the RCP, sockets off the GA plan, rooflights off the roof plan. Every other sighting corroborates the number and lifts its confidence. None of them add to it.

Traceability

EVERY NUMBER

SHOWS ITS WORKING.

You are the one who signs the tender, so nothing is a black box. Every line carries the sheet it came from, how it was measured, its NRM2 and Uniclass codes, and an honest confidence flag. Labour shows the arithmetic in full. Check any figure in seconds, and change it if you disagree.

  • Traced to the sheet it came from
  • Measurement method on every line
  • Low confidence surfaced, never hidden
  • Every rate editable, workings recalculated
