Automating BOQ filling and quotations: what AI can and cannot do

AI can speed up the repetitive parts of estimation, but an estimator should always review the result.

23 September 2026

Preparing a bill of quantities and quotation involves a lot of repetitive work: reading drawings and specifications, matching items, applying rates and totalling.

Where automation helps

- Matching BOQ items to your rate library - Checking quantity calculations for arithmetic mistakes - Producing a consistent quotation from approved rates - Keeping a history of past estimates

Where a person is still needed

- Judging site conditions and special requirements - Approving rates and margins - Reviewing anything the system flags as uncertain

A sensible workflow

The system prepares a draft, highlights items it is unsure about, and the estimator reviews and approves before anything is sent.

If you spend many hours on BOQs, we can look at your sheets and suggest what is realistic to automate.
