AI-generated. NZ-compliant. Builder-verified before commitment.
From plan scanning to cost estimation, materials lists to sub-trade tender packs. Structured for NZ construction professionals.
Upload architectural, structural, and services drawings. AI extracts quantities in m², m³, linear metres, and unit counts — referenced to drawing numbers.
Automatically generate a structured schedule of quantities organised by NZ trade divisions — from preliminaries through to external works.
Detailed BOQ output with trade summaries, elemental cost plans, assumptions schedules, provisional sums, and contingency rationale.
NZ market-aware cost intelligence reflecting regional variations, Auckland premiums, compliance costs, and realistic contingency logic.
Merchant-quotable materials lists with canonical NZ product specifications — treatment classes (H1.2, H3.2, H5), MSG8 grades, Lumberlok and Pryda hardware. Ready to send to your timber merchant.
Generate complete tender packs for plumbing, electrical, drainage, framing, roofing and 15 other NZ sub-trades. Each pack includes RFQ cover letter, trade-specific schedule, materials list, and pricing response template — NZ tender-law-aware.
Site-specific safety plans, hazard registers, SWMS, and duty holder mapping — aligned with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and WorkSafe NZ guidance.
Every output flows from a canonical Quantity Takeoff — Costing, Materials List, and Trade Tender Packs all inherit the same quantities. No contradictions between documents. The numbers in your tender match the numbers in your cost plan.
Every output is structured to NZS 4202 measurement methodology, references NZS 3604 timber framing rules, applies NZS 3640 treatment classes, and is aware of HSWA 2015, the Building Act 2004, and Construction Contracts Act 2002. Not generic international guesswork.
No waiting weeks. No back-and-forth. Upload your plans and get structured, professional outputs.
Upload architectural, structural, civil, or services drawings in PDF format. We classify every document automatically.
Quantities are extracted by trade, mapped to NZ standards, and cross-checked for scope gaps and inconsistencies.
Receive your quantity takeoff, cost estimate, materials list, H&S document, and sub-trade tender packs — ready for use.
Every output is structured within the NZ regulatory and contractual framework. No generic international guesswork.

APEXBOS is an AI-powered construction platform built specifically for the New Zealand building industry. It allows builders, contractors, quantity surveyors, developers, and project managers to upload their building plans and receive professionally structured quantity takeoffs, cost estimates, materials lists, health and safety documents, and sub-trade tender packs.
Unlike generic international tools, APEXBOS operates within the New Zealand construction framework — NZS 3604 for timber-framed buildings, NZS 3910 and NZS 3916 for contract conditions, NZS 4202 for standard method of measurement, the New Zealand Building Code, the Construction Contracts Act 2002, and the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. Every output is structured to be commercially defensible under NZ standards.
The platform classifies uploaded documents — architectural drawings, structural drawings, civil drawings, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services — and extracts measurable quantities organised by NZ trade divisions. These include preliminaries, earthworks, concrete, structural steel, framing, roofing, cladding, windows and joinery, linings, waterproofing, insulation, painting, floor finishes, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, fire protection, and external works.
APEXBOS serves the Auckland construction market and all New Zealand regions, accounting for regional cost variations, NZ supply chain constraints, seismic design requirements, wind zone classifications, and building consent processes. It is the construction industry tool designed to help New Zealand professionals scan their plans, generate quantities, and build smarter.
APEXBOS is an AI-powered first-pass tool. Every output — quantity takeoffs, cost estimates, materials lists, H&S documents, project plans, and sub-trade tender packs — is generated by artificial intelligence and is intended as a starting point for qualified professional review, not a substitute for it.
Every APEXBOS output must be independently checked, reviewed, and verified by a qualified peer, supervisor, or registered professional — a Licensed Building Practitioner, Chartered Quantity Surveyor, registered engineer, or qualified Health & Safety practitioner — before being relied upon for pricing, contract submission, consent application, construction, or any commercial or safety-critical decision.
Always conduct your own deep research and verification. AI outputs may contain errors, omissions, or misinterpretations of drawings, scope, or NZ standards. Treat every output as a draft for review.
APEXBOS, its operators, and its directors accept no liability for any direct, indirect, consequential, or commercial loss arising from the use of, or reliance on, the platform's outputs. Continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of these terms.
Upload your plans. Six documents come back — Quantity Takeoff, Project Costing, Materials List, H&S, Project Plan, Trade Tender Pack — built to NZ standards, in 24 hours. Unlimited jobs, no per-document fees.
