Built for construction professionals
We understand estimating — and we built Pillarworks to fix it.
Estimating is broken
Every builder and estimator knows the pain. You get a set of plans, and then you spend days manually counting doors, measuring walls, and cross-referencing spreadsheets — hoping you haven't missed anything.
Manual BOQs take too long
A medium residential BOQ takes 2+ days of focused work. That's 2 days you could spend pricing, tendering, or on-site. Every hour spent on manual takeoffs is an hour lost to your competition.
Existing tools are complex and expensive
Legacy tools require weeks of training, expensive licences, and dedicated hardware. They were built for large firms with dedicated QS teams — not for the builders and small practices doing the bulk of Australian construction.
Pillarworks does the heavy lifting
Upload your plans. Our AI reads them, detects every element, and generates a structured, ASMM-compliant BOQ. You review, adjust, and export. That's it.
Fast
What took 2 days now takes about 4 hours. Upload plans in the morning, have a BOQ by lunch.
Accurate
Every extracted quantity carries a confidence score and a reference back to the source plan page. Validated against real council DA plan sets.
Simple
No training courses. No complex setup. If you can use a web browser, you can use Pillarworks.
Built for real workflows
Designed around how Australian estimators actually work — not how software engineers think they should.
Our principles
We're not building another AI demo. We're building a tool that professionals trust with real projects and real money.
Accuracy over hype
We don't claim 99.9% accuracy on marketing pages. We show you confidence scores on every detection, flag uncertain elements, and let you verify everything. If the AI isn't sure, it tells you.
Human-in-the-loop AI
AI handles the tedious extraction. You handle the judgement calls. Pillarworks is designed to augment your expertise, not replace it. Every output is reviewable and editable before export.
Practical tools, not theory
We built Pillarworks by watching estimators work — not by reading academic papers. Every feature exists because someone in the field asked for it. If it doesn't save you time on a real project, it doesn't ship.
Built for the people who actually do the work
Builders
You're juggling tenders, site management, and client expectations. Pillarworks lets you produce accurate BOQs without hiring a dedicated estimator or spending weekends on spreadsheets.
Estimators
