Quantity takeoff for Australian builders
Upload your drawings and get a priced Bill of Quantities (BOQ) in hours, not days — ASMM-formatted, priced from your own rate book, with the source evidence beside every number. No more manual takeoffs or expensive legacy software.
Confirm wall type - brick or timber?

Manual BOQs take days.
Complex plans. Scattered measurements. Endless spreadsheets.
From plans to BOQ in minutes
Upload the drawing set, review the detected quantities — with their evidence — and export a priced bill of quantities.
Drop in the PDF set. Every sheet is read and each quantity carries a confidence score and a page reference.
Approve, reject or edit item by item — every quantity shows its confidence and the page it came from, so you see exactly what was detected.
Approved quantities become a coded, categorised BOQ with live totals — exported to Excel when you are.
Why switch to Pillarworks?
Legacy tools are complex and expensive. Manual estimating is slow and error-prone.
| Method | Time | Cost | Complexity |

Built for Australian estimators
Everything you need to generate accurate BOQs, without the bloated features you don't.
Element detection
Automatically identify walls, doors, windows, and structural elements from 2D plans — every detection carries a confidence score and page-cited evidence.
ASMM templates
Built-in Australian Standard Method of Measurement templates ensure your BOQs are industry-ready.
Mobile-ready
Review takeoffs and adjust quantities on-site using your iPad or tablet. No desktop required.
Your rates, not ours
Pillarworks never supplies or invents prices. Load your own rate schedule and the platform applies it deterministically — anything unmatched stays visibly unpriced until you complete it.
