The full QS document set — AI-drafted for your review

From plan scanning to cost estimation, materials lists to project plans — the documents a quantity surveyor produces, generated by AI as a first pass for you to verify. Structured for NZ construction.

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.

Project Costing & Cost Plan

Indicative cost estimate built on NZ market rates — with trade summaries, elemental breakdown, assumptions, provisional sums, and contingency rationale. A costed first pass for you to verify.

Construction Cost Estimation

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

Materials List

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.

Project Plan / Timeline

A staged construction sequence with dependencies, indicative durations, and critical-path items — the honest programme structure your build follows, ready for you to apply your own crew pace and start dates.

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.

Multi-Document Consistency

Every output flows from a canonical Quantity Takeoff — Costing and Materials List inherit the same quantities. No contradictions between documents. The numbers in your materials list match the numbers in your cost plan.

NZ Native

Built around how New Zealand residential construction actually works — local timber treatments, local products and hardware, local building practice and measurement. Not a generic international tool with an NZ label.

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 quantity takeoffs, cost estimates, materials lists, health and safety documents, and project plans.

Unlike generic international tools, APEXBOS is built specifically around New Zealand residential construction — the local products, timber treatments, hardware, building methods, and market rates that Kiwi builders and merchants actually use. Every output is structured to reflect how NZ construction really works, so the numbers make sense to your suppliers and sub-trades.

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.

⚠ Important — Read Before Use

AI-generated outputs require professional verification

APEXBOS is an AI-powered first-pass tool. Every output — quantity takeoffs, cost estimates, materials lists, H&S documents, and project plans — 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.
