Price the work. Let AI carry the measurement grind.
Takeoff assistance, VO drafting and progress claims in one place, so you advise on cost instead of drowning in spreadsheets.
Where the hours actually go.
Measurement takes days
Taking off quantities from drawings is the core of the job and the biggest time sink. Every drawing revision means re-measuring the affected sections.
Variation orders need pricing fast
Each VO wants a breakdown with rates and substantiation. Drafting them properly under time pressure is where errors and under-recovery happen.
Monthly claim valuation cycles
Assessing contractor claims against site progress, preparing your own claims, tracking retention and certification. The monthly cycle never stops.
Cost reporting to the client
Cost-to-complete forecasts, variation registers and final account projections compiled manually for every report.

Measurement takeoff assistant
In the worksAI-assisted takeoff from drawings that drafts quantities for your review. You check and adjust; it does the counting.

Progressive claim manager
Prepare and submit monthly claims against the contract sum with retention computed automatically, and track certification and payment status.
Cost report dashboards
Contract sum, approved VOs, claimed-to-date and cost-to-complete in a live view instead of a month-old spreadsheet.

A day with AI doing the busywork.
The takeoff assistant has first-pass quantities for the revised piling drawings. You verify the edge cases and sign off sections.
VO 14 is drafted from your rate library with substantiation. Review the margin, issue to the architect.
Assess the contractor's monthly claim against site photos and diary records. Certification draft ready same day.
The cost dashboard shows claim 6 certified and retention accruing correctly. The client report exports itself.
Questions quantity surveyors actually ask.
Will AI replace quantity surveyors?
No. QS judgement on rates, risk and contract interpretation is the job. AI removes the counting and document assembly, so you spend time on valuation advice, not data entry. The professional sign-off stays yours.
How does AI-assisted takeoff work?
It drafts measurements from the drawings you upload and you verify every section before it enters the BQ. Think of it as a fast junior who never gets tired: you still check and sign.
Does it handle SOPA payment claims?
Claims are prepared with proper payment claim structure, retention tracked and certification status visible, which is what SOPA timelines demand.
Can it help with final accounts?
The variation register and claim history compile into the final account automatically, so closing out is review work not archaeology.
Is this affordable for a QS consultancy?
The standard plan covers it. Faster tender turnaround and cleaner claims typically return the cost in the first month.
