The Problem

Estimating bottlenecks start with the count

General contractors and quantity surveyors lose days per project to manual element counting - before a single cost estimate is written.

3-4
Days per mid-size project
Average time estimating teams spend on manual quantity takeoff before cost analysis can begin.
30%
Of estimating time on counting
Nearly a third of your estimator's working hours go to reading plans and tallying items, not building the actual bid.
1:1
Count accuracy drives bid accuracy
A missed element or misread dimension compounds through every line item that depends on it. The count is the foundation.

How It Works

Three steps from drawing to bill of quantities

No setup. No training. Upload your PDF plans and FOBECON handles the rest.

1

Upload your PDF drawing set

Drop in your full drawing package - floor plans, elevations, sections, and details. Any standard PDF format is supported.

2

AI analyzes your drawing set

FOBECON reads every floor plan, elevation, and detail - identifying elements, counting items, and measuring areas across the entire set.

3

Download your bill of quantities

Get a structured BOQ as Excel, CSV, or formatted PDF - ready to plug into your costing model and submit with your bid.

Capabilities

What FOBECON extracts from your drawings

Built for the full drawing set, not just single pages.

Automatic element detection

Doors, windows, columns, fixtures, walls, and structural elements are identified and counted across every drawing sheet in the set.

Area and linear measurement

Floor areas, wall lengths, facade zones, and slab extents are calculated at drawing scale and reported with consistent units.

Multi-format BOQ export

Download your bill of quantities as Excel (.xlsx), CSV, or a formatted PDF with cover sheet, structured to standard BOQ conventions.

Drawing version comparison

Upload a revised drawing set and see a delta report: which elements changed count, which areas shifted, what the revision adds to your estimate.

Results

4 hrs
vs. 3 to 4 days manually
Across 6 drawing sets in our 2025 early-access pilot program.
We were spending Monday through Thursday just getting counts onto a spreadsheet. With FOBECON, that same work is done before noon on Monday. The output is clean enough that we go straight into costing - no re-checking pages we might have missed.
