What is AI calculation?
Calculation is the heart of every construction company — but also one of the most time-consuming activities. An average construction calculation takes 8–40 hours depending on complexity. Many contractors miss potential jobs because they lack the calculation capacity. According to EIB, 35% of contractors lose jobs due to quotes arriving too late.
AI calculation automatically reads specifications, extracts quantities and line items, and matches them to your own price database and historical project data. The result: a substantiated draft calculation in hours instead of days.
How does it work?
NLP models automatically analyse specifications and RAW specifications. Per line item, quantities, units and specifications are extracted. AI matches these to your price lists, materials lists and historical realisation data from comparable projects.
The system learns from your post-calculations: which line items were over- or under-calculated? Where are the risks? This feedback makes future calculations increasingly accurate.
What does it deliver?
Contractors report up to 75% faster calculations, 20% more accuracy through historical benchmarking and the ability to submit more quotes. According to ABN AMRO construction research, this improves revenue potential by 15–25% through more quotes with the same capacity.
