Blind test
Do not trust a demo with a prepared example. Send us a plan you have already estimated. BauKIT calculates it without seeing your bill of quantities, and then you compare line by line.
Process
A permit plan as a PDF that you have already estimated yourself: a single-family house or a residential complex, new build or with demolition. You keep your bill of quantities to yourself for now.
We upload the plan and let BauKIT run. No prior knowledge of your quantities, no manual rework. A single-family house takes about 30 to 60 minutes, larger projects two to three hours.
You receive the quantity takeoff, priced bill of quantities and ONLV. Put your own bill of quantities next to it and check each line item: quantity, derivation, confidence class. What matters is the deviation per line item, not the total.
What you receive
What to look for
Take 10 to 20 line items you measured yourself and ask of each: where does this quantity come from? A good result is not 100 % right. It is right wherever the plan provides the information, and says clearly where it does not.

What we do not promise
BauKIT results are generated automatically and may be wrong or incomplete. That is stated in our terms, and we mean it. The blind test shows you how much review effort realistically remains for your projects: instead of one to three days of takeoff, expect one to two hours of checking the derivations and flagged assumptions.
The blind test is free and without obligation. We treat your plan confidentially and delete it after the evaluation if you wish.
FAQ
No. BauKIT replaces the takeoff and the preparation of the bill of quantities: the one to three days an estimator spends on a single-family house measuring quantities from the plan and assigning line items. The professional review stays with a person. Expect one to two hours to check the derivations and flagged assumptions. Our terms require results to be reviewed before they are used for a bid, an award or an invoice. That is intentional, not small print.
Every quantity carries its calculation, its source in the plan (for example “basement plan sheet 1, build-up AW 2”) and one of three confidence classes: PLAN (stated directly in the plan), HERLEIT (derived from plan dimensions) or ANNAHME (an experience-based assumption because the plan lacks the information). For a residential complex with 215 line items, 69 were stated in the plan, 113 derived and 33 flagged as assumptions. You see not just a number but how certain it is. The strongest test is a blind test with a plan you have already estimated yourself.
A single-family house takes about 30 to 60 minutes; larger projects such as a residential complex with underground parking take two to three hours. During that time plan recognition, assignment of work items, quantity calculation, checks against the mandatory and standards rules on file, and pricing run fully automatically. Nobody at BauKIT steps in or reworks the result: upload, wait, result.
Missing information is never silently guessed. Every affected line item is flagged as ANNAHME and its source column starts with “NICHT IM PLAN:” (not in the plan) plus a reason, for example “no structural calculation in the data set; reinforcement ratio of 130 kg/m³ as an experience value”. BauKIT also lists all open points together with their cost impact: missing soil report, missing demolition plan, missing window schedule. Contradictions between plan versions are reported as findings, not averaged.
Yes, and it is the test we recommend. Send us a permit plan you have already estimated yourself. BauKIT estimates it without seeing your bill of quantities. You receive the quantity takeoff, priced bill of quantities and ONLV and compare them line by line, not just the total. Details at /en/blind-test.
