A fire BOQ takes weeks by hand.
Watch it take minutes.
Upload a fire-protection drawing and the engine returns a priced, NBC 2016 Bill of Quantities — on your own rate card, exported tender-ready as Excel + PDF. Your engineer still reviews and signs off; the weeks of grind simply disappear.
Six stages. Weeks of grind, gone.
This is the exact path your estimator walks by hand over 3–6 weeks — the engine runs it end-to-end in minutes. You keep the judgement; it kills the grind. Every stage stays checkable, and the internal rules and thresholds stay under the hood.
Ingest & normalize
PDF, CAD or DWG drawings are read and converted into clean vector geometry the engine can reason over — no manual redrawing.
Detect components
Every sprinkler, pipe, riser, valve and fitting is found and classified from the drawing symbols — nothing missed, nothing double-counted.
Measure & take off
Lengths, counts and areas measured to scale in metric — the quantity takeoff that devours the most estimator-hours of any job.
Apply NBC 2016
Code rules and hydraulic logic mapped onto the takeoff so the spec lines up with Indian fire-protection norms — consistently, every time.
Assemble & cost
Items roll up into a structured BOQ, priced against your own rate card — tender-ready Excel + PDF, your brand on it.
Review & sign off
Your engineer reviews, adjusts any rate, and approves — the professional accountability stays exactly where it belongs: with a human.
No CAD drawing? A values brief works too.
When your client hands you an architectural values brief as a PDF instead of drawings, the engine reads that PDF and extracts every value exactly as stated — then assembles a client-ready, priced BOQ in seconds, just as it does from a drawing. Working from an Excel values sheet rather than a PDF? We'll tailor the engine to your exact format on request — today it reads PDF value briefs out of the box.
Scope-honest by design: it flags low-confidence rates ("manual review recommended") and refuses to invent whole-building items from a partial drawing — so what your engineer signs off is trustworthy, not a black-box guess. That's the difference between a demo toy and a system you can bid real tenders on.
The payback math — on your numbers
Manual estimating in India isn't just slow — it's revenue left on the table. Here's the honest picture, and what flips the day this engine is yours.
Drawing review → hydraulic calc → takeoff → rate analysis → drafting. Every single tender crawls.
A senior estimator clears only a handful a month — the rest you simply can't turn around in time to bid.
And an estimator still can't go faster, takes leave, and can resign — walking out with the know-how.
A priced, NBC 2016 BOQ in minutes — about a day end-to-end once your engineer has reviewed it.
Quote every enquiry that lands. Each extra BOQ you can now turn around is ~₹1.5L+ of billing you couldn't capture before.
Your server, your rate card, your brand on the output. No per-estimate fee, no seat licences, no vendor lock-in.
That ₹1.5L is deliberately conservative — standard commercial BOQs bill ₹1.2–2L, high-occupancy (hospital / mall / IT park) ₹2–3.6L, specialised (data centre / plant) ₹3.6–5.6L. Plug your own numbers in:
| If it wins you… | Extra billing / year | Payback on ₹25L |
|---|---|---|
| +1 extra BOQ / month (ultra-conservative) | ₹18,00,000 | ~16 months |
| +2 extra BOQs / month (conservative) | ₹36,00,000 | ~8 months |
| +6 extra BOQs / month (turning away work today) | ₹1,08,00,000 | under 3 months |
Compare hiring: a senior fire estimator runs ₹8–15 lakh a year, every year, and still needs weeks per estimate. The engine is a one-time spend under two years of a single salary — but it multiplies your whole team's throughput permanently, never takes leave, and never resigns.
| Engagement | Best for | Investment |
|---|---|---|
| Launch Pilot | Prove it on your own drawings first — 30 days, credited to your build | from ₹2,50,000 |
| Managed System | We host, run & keep improving it — you prefer OpEx to owning | ₹85,000 / month |
| Build & Own It | Own it outright on your server — far cheaper over its life | ₹25,00,000 one-time |
Run the numbers: at ₹85,000/month, a managed engine crosses the ₹25,00,000 one-time in about two-and-a-half years — and a firm that estimates for many years keeps paying. Owning it outright is dramatically cheaper over its lifetime. Start with a pilot; scale to whichever model fits.
- It produces a first-pass priced BOQ; a qualified engineer still reviews and signs off. It removes the grind, not the professional accountability.
- Accuracy tracks input quality — a clean CAD drawing or a complete brief yields the best output, and it tells you when it's unsure rather than guessing.
- Built to NBC 2016 / INR / metric. (An NFPA / USD / imperial build for other markets is separate.)

The fastest way to believe "weeks to minutes" is to watch your own project become a priced BOQ in front of you — we'll hand you the Excel + PDF on the call.
