Features
Structured BOQ Output
Every item organized by trade package, section, and CSI division code. Quantities, units, and waste factors calculated automatically — ready for your pricing spreadsheet or procurement team
AI Material Extraction
AI reads plan legends, schedules, and drawing details to identify every material, fitting, fixture, and accessory. Nothing gets missed — even items buried in notes or details
Multi-Trade Support
Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire protection, and structural — one upload produces a BOQ covering every discipline in the plan set. No need to process trades separately
Excel & PDF Export
Export to Excel with formulas for pricing, or generate a formatted PDF for submittals and owner reviews. Column headers match industry-standard BOQ formats
Edit Before Export
Add items the AI missed, remove duplicates, adjust quantities, or split line items into sub-items. You stay in full control before anything leaves your desk
Minutes, Not Days
A set of plans that would take days to compile manually produces a complete BOQ in minutes. Bid on more projects without hiring more estimators
Process
How It Works
Upload Plans
Drag and drop your PDF blueprints into BuildVision — single sheets or full plan sets with architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings
AI Extracts Items
AI reads every sheet, parses legends and schedules, identifies materials and quantities, calculates waste factors, and organizes everything by trade and CSI code
Review BOQ
Check the structured output against the plans, adjust quantities, add or remove items, and plug in your unit pricing. Visual overlays show what was extracted from each sheet

Download a formatted Excel workbook ready for pricing, generate a PDF for submittals, or push the BOQ directly into your quoting workflow

The Problem
- Compiling a BOQ by hand means days of flipping between plan sheets, cross-referencing legends, and manually entering every line item into a spreadsheet
- Missed items show up as change orders on site — eating your margin and damaging client trust
- Every estimator formats BOQs differently. Procurement gets confused, suppliers quote wrong items, and nothing matches up

- Nothing gets missed — AI cross-references legends, schedules, and details to capture every material, fitting, and fixture
