What QUANTIFY BOQ LTD does

Quantify BOQ Ltd is a UK-based software business, operated as a sole proprietorship by Callum Thorner from England, that has built an AI-powered platform which converts construction drawings (PDFs covering architectural, structural, M&E, and drainage scopes) into NRM2-compliant Bills of Quantities. The product runs a multi-pass analysis pipeline that reads title blocks, applies role-based NRM2 measurement rules, runs smart deduplication, and cross-references results before exporting a formatted Excel workbook with a master bill, summary tab, per-NRM2-section tabs, and cross-sheet rate formulas. A 4-pass QA layer is positioned as the accuracy moat versus generic AI tools, and the platform is explicitly marketed as 'built by a QS' to capture domain trust in the UK quantity surveying market. Outputs are stated to be drafts requiring qualified QS review before any commercial use.

The company operates a two-tier subscription model distributed through a hybrid product-led/enterprise motion. The Professional Licence targets individual QSs, sole traders, and freelancers with annual BOQ allocations up to 250 drawings; the Practice Licence targets QS practices and main contractor estimating teams with unlimited BOQs, up to 400 drawings per BOQ, and multi-user access for up to 20 users with a shared dashboard. Both tiers require direct contact for pricing (no published price points), with drawing bundles available as annual-rollover add-ons. Distribution is via beta.quantifyboq.com for self-serve trials and a Mailchimp-managed waitlist for top-of-funnel demand capture.

The technology stack is assembled from third-party providers: Anthropic for AI inference, Railway for cloud hosting, Cloudflare for CDN/security, Stripe (future) for subscription billing, and Mailchimp for waitlist email. The company is currently in a public beta launched in April 2026, with no disclosed funding, headcount beyond the named owner, named customers, or revenue. Terms of Use reserve all intellectual property in the platform to the sole proprietor, prohibit using outputs to train other AI models, and disclaim liability for unverified AI outputs.

Core offering

Quantify BOQ is an AI-powered SaaS platform that ingests construction drawings (PDFs in architectural, structural, M&E, and drainage formats) and generates NRM2-compliant Bills of Quantities as formatted Excel workbooks. Each BOQ runs through a proprietary 4-pass QA pipeline (title block read, role-based measurement, smart deduplication, cross-reference check) and is delivered overnight, ready for QS review and pricing the next morning. It is offered under annual subscription licences (Professional for individuals, Practice for teams up to 20 users) for UK quantity surveyors and construction estimating teams.

Product overview

Quantify BOQ is a single unified SaaS platform — the NRM2 Bill of Quantities Generator — offered through two licensing tiers: Professional Licence (for individual quantity surveyors, sole traders, and freelancers) and Practice Licence (for QS practices, main contractors, and estimating teams). The platform automates the creation of NRM2-compliant Bills of Quantities from uploaded construction drawings, featuring a 4-pass QA system and formatted Excel export. Both licence tiers support drawing bundles as add-on options for large projects.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Kreo Software: Kreo is an AI-powered takeoff and estimating platform that converts 2D drawings and BIM models into quantities. It is a direct emerging competitor in the AI-driven drawing-to-quantities category, though with a global rather than UK-NRM2-specific focus.

Direct peers

• Buildxact: Buildxact is an estimating platform for builders and trades that automates quantities and BOQs from drawings. It is a comparable SaaS takeoff product, although its primary focus is residential builders rather than UK RICS NRM2 workflows.
• Onscreen Takeoff: Onscreen Takeoff is a digital takeoff application used by estimators and QS to measure drawings and produce quantities. It is a comparable workflow peer to Quantify BOQ's automated BOQ generation use case.
• CostX (Causeway Technologies): CostX is a leading takeoff and cost estimation platform for quantity surveyors, directly serving the same UK/AU/global QS workflows that Quantify BOQ targets, including measurement extraction from drawings and BOQ generation.
• Bluebeam (Revu): Bluebeam Revu is widely used by QS and estimators for PDF markup, digital takeoff, and quantity measurement from construction drawings. It is the incumbent tool that Quantify BOQ most directly competes against in the measurement-from-drawings workflow.
• Planswift: Planswift is a takeoff and estimating software used by contractors and QS to measure drawings and generate quantities. It overlaps with Quantify BOQ on the digital measurement and BOQ output use case for construction professionals.

Regional players

• NBS (National Building Specification): NBS is a UK-based specification and construction standards platform used by QS and designers. It is a regional comparator addressing the same UK construction standards ecosystem that Quantify BOQ's NRM2 focus relies on.

Broad incumbents

• Procore Technologies: Procore is a broad construction management platform that increasingly incorporates AI and measurement features. It touches the same end user (QS and contractors) but operates across a much wider project lifecycle than Quantify BOQ.
• Autodesk Construction Cloud: Autodesk Construction Cloud bundles BIM, takeoff, and project management tools (including former products like Assemble and BIM 360) and has the distribution and AI roadmap to attack the same drawing-to-quantities workflow that Quantify BOQ addresses.
• Causeway Estimating: Causeway's estimating suite includes cost estimating and takeoff tools widely used in UK construction. It is a broader incumbent offering that overlaps with Quantify BOQ on BOQ and cost estimation workflows.
