Product

A priced bill of quantities you can check line by line.

BauKIT does not replace the estimator. It replaces the one to three days of takeoff and bill-of-quantities preparation that come first. Upload the plan, receive the estimate, review it in one to two hours. Every line item can be backed up.

Input

Permit plan (PDF)

  • Floor plans
  • Sections
  • Elevations
  • Build-ups & dimension chains

Optional, for more precise results

  • Construction drawings (Polierpläne)
  • Building and fit-out specification (BAB)
  • Structural or preliminary structural calculations
  • Soil report
  • Window and door schedules
  • As-built plans (for conversions and refurbishments)

All documents as PDF. The more you add, the less BauKIT has to assume.

Output

Quantity takeoff + priced BoQ

  • Structured quantity takeoff with derivations
  • Priced bill of quantities
  • Notes on likely additional costs
  • Justified risk allowance
  • Plausibility check before you use it

How it works

What happens after you upload the plan.

You upload the plan and BauKIT does the rest. What happens in the background is complex; for you it stays simple.

  1. 01

    Upload the plan

    Upload your permit plan as a PDF. Floor plans, sections and elevations are enough. Add construction drawings, the building specification or structural calculations and the result gets more precise.

  2. 02

    BauKIT estimates

    BauKIT identifies the work the plan requires, calculates the quantities and checks the result against Austrian standards.

  3. 03

    Get the result

    You receive a structured quantity takeoff and a priced bill of quantities, with a traceable derivation for every line item.

What the result looks like

Ask of every figure: where does it come from?

Four real rows from a quantity takeoff for a residential complex with 15 flats and underground parking, translated from German. Each line item carries its calculation, its source in the plan and a confidence class. Of 215 line items, 69 were stated in the plan, 113 derived and 33 flagged as assumptions.

PLAN (stated)
The figure appears as such in the plan: a label, room schedule or building description.
HERLEIT (derived)
Calculated from plan dimensions. The formula sits next to it so you can recalculate it.
ANNAHME (assumed)
The plan lacks the information. BauKIT says what is missing, which experience value it applies and what that may cost.

Accuracy levels

Choose how precise each run should be.

For each project you choose how precisely and how fast BauKIT calculates, from a quick preliminary estimate to the final calculation.

Highest precision

The finest measurement, for final estimates and complex projects where every line item counts.

Balanced

Fast with very good accuracy. The right choice for most projects.

Fast

For preliminary estimates and first assessments, when speed matters more than the last bit of precision.

Reliability

Why you can rely on the result.

Every quantity has a source

BauKIT outputs no quantity without evidence. Every line item points to its derivation.

No silent assumptions

When information is missing, BauKIT says so instead of guessing. You see exactly where the plan needs more detail.

A risk allowance with reasons

Instead of a flat surcharge you get a justified risk allowance that matches the data available for your project.

Let BauKIT estimate one of your plans.

In the demo we upload one of your permit plans together and walk through the result step by step.
