2D Drawing to BOQ

Priced BOQ straight from any 2D drawing. No 3D model required.

Not every project starts with a BIM model. When you work from 2D structural plans, you still need precise quantities. Our AI vision engine reads PDF, DWG and TIFF drawings, extracts dimensions, and automatically maps elements to priced BOQ formats.

2D Drawing to BOQ
  • Read drawing: AI vision reads the drawing and extracts dimensions
  • Identify items: AI groups slabs, beams, columns and walls automatically
  • Measurements: Areas, lengths and volumes extracted from the geometry
  • Rates: Custom rate tables applied automatically
  • 3D model: Works with no 3D model at all
  • Errors: Errors made visible for review
  • Time per drawing: 1 to 2 hours
The Challenge

Not every project is BIM

Not every project comes with a 3D Revit model. Early-stage projects have 2D structural drawings. Non-BIM firms submit 2D PDFs. Budget-constrained projects use traditional 2D drawings.

But your estimators still need to produce a BOQ from that drawing — which means manually measuring every element by hand, identifying items from line work, and building the estimate in Excel. It is error-prone and takes 1 to 2 weeks.

2D Drawing to BOQ extends the automation benefits of BIM-based BOQ tools to projects that are entirely 2D.

The Solution

How it works

Upload your drawings, let the AI model elements, and export structured Excel or ERP-ready estimates.

01

Upload 2D Drawing

Start by uploading the structural drawing in PDF, DWG, or TIFF format directly into our secure cloud workspace.

02

Computer Vision Analysis

Lines, thickness, symbols, dimensions, and structural annotations are scanned and parsed by our advanced vision AI.

03

Element Categorization

AI automatically identifies and groups components (slabs, beams, columns, foundation walls) based on structural rules.

04

Measurement Extraction

Areas, lengths, volumes, and material thicknesses are calculated dynamically from annotations and drawing geometries.

05

BOQ Generation

A complete, priced BOQ is created instantly with custom rate tables applied, ready for your QS team to download.

Workflow Hook

Fits into your workflow

Integrates seamlessly from raw structural drawings to professional Quantity Surveying tools.

01 / SOURCE INTAKE
