Bill of Quantity Rates Extraction
Extract and analyse rates from tender documents and historical data.
Is your benchmarking database falling behind the business?
Accurate tender evaluation depends on reliable benchmark rates - by construction type, asset category, and region. But building and maintaining that database is relentlessly resource-intensive. Your QS team manually extracts rates from every bill of quantities, while the backlog grows faster than you can process it. The business needs near real-time benchmarking insight; you're struggling to keep historic data current.

Automated Rate Extraction
Screen bills of quantities and extract rate information automatically. Capture item descriptions, quantities, unit rates, and totals into a standardised tabular format you define - eliminating manual data entry from PDF and spreadsheet sources.
Taxonomy Alignment
Classify extracted rates against your preferred cost classification - NRM, CESMM, or custom taxonomies. Ensure consistency across BQs from different suppliers and projects, enabling like-for-like comparison regardless of how items were originally described.
Duplicate Detection & Quality Control
Identify and flag duplicate entries, outliers, and anomalies before they contaminate your benchmark dataset. Build confidence that your rate database is reliable and searchable, not cluttered with redundant or erroneous data.
High-Volume Processing
Clear your BQ backlog and keep pace with incoming documents. Process hundreds of bills of quantities in the time it would take to manually extract rates from a handful - transforming benchmarking from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage.
What this achieves
When rate extraction keeps pace with the business, your QS team shifts from data entry to value-adding analysis and advisory. Evaluate tenders against current, comprehensive benchmarks. Respond to regional expansion with confidence in local rate intelligence. And if your database becomes comprehensive enough, benchmarking itself becomes a service you can offer - turning a cost centre into a revenue stream.
