Quanto for Revit
The BOQ that used to take three weeks. Done today.
Your estimators are manually measuring every element in a Revit model, applying standard measurement rules, and typing the bill by hand. Quanto automates the measurement and the rate prediction, so your team focuses on the advice clients are paying for.
Compare Workflows
- Quanto identifies all elements directly from your model, workbook, or drawing.
- AI predicts and applies rates for each line item automatically, based on your firm's pricing history.
- Existing non-AI tools stop at measurement. Quanto goes further.
- Priced BOQ generated in hours, ready for expert review.
Watch it work
Watch how building elements are identified, measured, and priced using AI rate prediction.
Your value is in judgment, not in measurement.
Whatever format your model or drawing is in, the bottleneck is the same. Someone has to measure every element and price it by hand, the same process every project.
This manual data entry creates a bottleneck during the tendering phase, increasing the risk of human error and pulling expert Quantity Surveyors away from strategic cost advice. Quanto automates the measurement and the rate prediction, so your team focuses entirely on the advice clients are paying for.
Four steps from source to priced BOQ
Revit Integration
Plugin extracts take-off files and raw data natively from your Revit model.
Element Identification
AI groups and identifies all building elements according to standard measurement rules.
AI Rate Prediction
Machine learning predicts and maps historical pricing rates for each line item, based on your firm's historical data.
Priced BOQ Output
Generates a fully formatted, priced Bill of Quantities ready for your expert review.
Handoff — The BOQ produced here becomes the measurement baseline for site valuation and interim payment certificates in the construction stage using MeasureonAir.
Built for every QS workflow
AI Rate Prediction
Trained on your firm's historical pricing. Rates are predicted per line item, not looked up manually.
Standard Measurement Rules
Supports NRM2 and other measurement standards. Elements are grouped and measured to your firm's rules.
Four Input Formats, One Engine
Revit, ACC, CostX, or PDF and DXF. The same AI rate prediction engine regardless of what you start with.
Export Anywhere
Export to Excel, CSV, or directly into your specialist BOQ software when needed.
Fits into your workflow
A Revit model, an Autodesk Construction Cloud project, a CostX workbook, or a 2D PDF or DXF drawing — whichever you already have.
The priced BOQ becomes the measurement baseline for MeasureonAir during construction and the cost framework for Cost Plan Calculator at pre-design.
Why Choose Quanto
Manual Method (Excel)
- Weeks to produce a single bill
- Manual element measuring throughout
- Rates looked up and applied by hand
- Any format accepted — but all manual work
- High error risk, prone to omissions
Quanto
- Done in hours instead of weeks
- Automated element identification from your source
- AI predicts rates from your firm's pricing history
- Works with Revit, ACC, CostX, or 2D drawings
- Low risk — AI flags low-confidence elements for review
Standard Take-off Tools
- Faster than Excel, still hours to days
- Stop at measurement only — no rate prediction
- No rate prediction engine, rates entered manually
- Locked to one input format, heavy manual config
- Medium risk — better than Excel but still incomplete
Simple, transparent pricing
USD $1,000/mo
Includes native Revit plugin and rate prediction module with customisations.
Custom Plan
For multi-office deployment and training on complex proprietary historical rates.
