AI-powered BOQ automation for Australian construction
Create accurate, ASMM-compliant BOQs in hours, not days. Stop wasting time on manual takeoffs and 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 what the AI found — with its 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 — the cited drawing renders beside every quantity, so you see what the AI saw.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual estimating | 2+ days | Labour heavy | Error-prone |
| Legacy tools | High | Expensive | Complex |
| Pillarworks | ~4 hours | Affordable | Simple |
