Evalux
From blueprints to budgets in seconds
AI platform that reads architectural plans, extracts quantities via computer vision, applies regional cost databases, and generates comprehensive Bills of Quantities — automatically.
The estimation gap
Manual takeoffs take days or weeks. A quantity surveyor scrolling through hundreds of drawing sheets, manually measuring rooms, counting doors, tallying materials — it is slow, tedious, and error-prone.
Those errors cost the industry millions every year. Missed items in a BoQ, outdated material prices, misread dimensions — any one of these can blow out a project budget. And when budgets blow out, relationships break down.
The construction industry needs what every other industry has already adopted: AI that reads, understands, and estimates — with precision and speed that humans simply cannot match at scale.
How Evalux Works
Four steps from raw plans to costed BoQ. What used to take days now takes seconds.
Upload Plans
Drop in PDF, DWG, or BIM files. Evalux accepts architectural, structural, and services drawings.
AI Extracts
Computer vision identifies rooms, dimensions, materials. LLMs interpret annotations, notes, and specifications.
Cost Database Applied
Extracted quantities are matched against regional cost databases with real-time material pricing.
Report Generated
Full Bill of Quantities, cost breakdown by trade, confidence scoring, and exportable reports — in seconds.
Platform Features
Everything you need to estimate construction costs with confidence.
Blueprint AI
Upload PDF, DWG, or BIM plans. Computer vision extracts rooms, dimensions, materials, and construction details automatically.
Regional Cost Databases
Pre-loaded AU/UK/US cost databases with real-time material pricing feeds. Always up-to-date, always accurate.
BoQ Generation
Comprehensive Bill of Quantities with line-item detail. Export to Excel, PDF, or integrate directly with your project management tools.
Variation Tracking
Track scope changes, assess cost impact in real time. Compare revisions side-by-side with automatic delta reporting.
Multi-Trade Estimation
Structural, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic — all trades estimated in a single workflow with trade-specific cost models.
Historical Benchmarking
Compare against similar past projects. Spot outliers, validate assumptions, and build confidence in your estimates.
Technical Architecture
Evalux combines three AI disciplines into a single estimation pipeline — purpose-built for the construction industry.
Computer Vision Pipeline
Proprietary models trained on thousands of architectural plans. Identifies rooms, walls, doors, windows, annotations, and dimension lines across PDF, DWG, and BIM formats.
LLM Document Understanding
Large language models interpret specifications, notes, and schedule annotations. Understands context — "timber frame" vs "steel frame" changes cost models entirely.
ML Cost Prediction
Machine learning models trained on historical project data predict costs with confidence intervals. Flags outliers and unusual quantities for human review.
Built For Construction Professionals
Whether you are pricing a single home or a $100M development, Evalux scales to your workflow.
Quantity Surveyors
Automate takeoffs, focus on value-add analysis and client advisory
Builders & Contractors
