Quote
One-click PDF quote or supplier RFQ schedule
PDF drawings, KISS files from FabStation/Tekla, CSV exports, even scanned images. Drop it in — the system handles the rest.
Multiple analysis engines read your drawings simultaneously — schedule tables, annotations, title blocks, section callouts. Like having ten experienced estimators cross-checking each other.
Recognises balustrades, handrails, staircases, and signage structures. Breaks them into component parts and flags missing items automatically.
Every extracted item gets a confidence score. Disagreements between analysis stages are surfaced with explanations. Click any flagged item to see exactly where on the drawing it came from.
Weight totals cross-checked against drawing metadata. Dimensional plausibility. Rod length warnings. Turnbuckle allowances. Assembly completeness. All checked before the quote leaves your desk.
Every correction you make trains the system. Supplier naming quirks, common drawing formats, your preferred sections — it gets smarter with every estimate.

Built-in verification catches
Placeholder proof points today, ready to swap for live customer stories when approved.
The team stopped chasing paper trails and started turning drawings into quotes on the same day they landed.
Scheduling, SWMS, quoting, and invoicing finally live in one place. Our workshop handoff is far cleaner.
The automated takeoff flow gave us a faster first draft without losing the review control we need before sending quotes.
Enterprise steel management software costs tens of thousands and takes months to implement. Generic trade apps don't know an SHS from an RHS. BOS was built in the gap — purpose-made for workshops running 1 to 30 staff, handling everything from structural steel to balustrades to signage structures.
