Everything a quantity surveyor delivers — AI-powered

From plan scanning to BOQ generation, risk identification to H&S documentation. Structured for NZ construction professionals.

📐

AI Plan Scanning & Quantity Takeoff

Upload architectural, structural, and services drawings. AI extracts quantities in m², m³, linear metres, and unit counts — referenced to drawing numbers.

📋

Schedule of Quantities

Automatically generate a structured schedule of quantities organised by NZ trade divisions — from preliminaries through to external works.

📊

Bill of Quantities (BOQ)

Detailed BOQ output with trade summaries, elemental cost plans, assumptions schedules, provisional sums, and contingency rationale.

💰

Construction Cost Estimation

NZ market-aware cost intelligence reflecting regional variations, Auckland premiums, compliance costs, and realistic contingency logic.

⚠️

Risk & Gap Identification

Structured risk registers identifying missing drawings, inconsistent dimensions, scope gaps, seismic complexity, long-lead items, and compliance uncertainty.

📑

Contract Awareness

Identifies risk allocation, variation mechanisms, retention provisions, and payment claim frameworks under NZS 3910, NZS 3916, and the Construction Contracts Act.

🦺

Health & Safety Documentation

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.

📈

Cashflow & Programme

Construction phase cashflow forecasts, progress claim valuation sheets, and programme milestone tracking for project delivery control.

🏗️

Project Management

Full lifecycle project control — scope management, procurement control, contract administration, quality oversight, and structured reporting.

AI quantity surveying for New Zealand construction

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 schedules of quantities, bills of quantities, cost estimates, risk registers, and health and safety documentation.

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.
