One chat per project. Every number from the engine.
QSAI Copilot is a web application your team opens in a browser, installed on your own servers. Each project is a conversation with a quantity-surveying assistant that reads your documents, remembers what you tell it, and generates the files through the engine.
- Structural set uploaded. Please schedule the first-floor beams and tell me the steel per size.
- read_document · S-01…S-09 Structural.pdf
- extract_members · 9 pages · 14 beams, 6 columns, 2 slabs
- Read. Before I calculate: storey height 3.20 m from S-04, B2 depth 450 mm as confirmed, laps 50d per the sheet note. Spans taken from the grid on S-03. Shall I proceed?
- Yes.
- calculate_bbs · Saudi profile
- generate_reports · boq_excel, steel_report
- Done. First floor beams: Ø16 1,284 kg, Ø12 412 kg, Ø10 links 338 kg. Workbook and steel report attached (v2). B2 depth is in memory, so I will not ask again. Villa12_BOQ_v2.xlsxVilla12_SteelReport_v2.pdf
- 1Projects One chat per project. Reopen it and continue exactly where it stopped.
- 2Conversation Ask in Arabic, English, Urdu or Roman Urdu; it replies in your language. Every tool call is visible as it runs, and you can stop a turn at any time.
- 3Documents Each file's triage: disciplines, scale, specifications read from the sheet.
- 4Memory Symbols, labels, confirmed assumptions and decisions, with the drawing crop.
- 5Files Every generated version, its status, and a share link that always returns the same file.
A session, step by step
-
Create a project and upload
Name the project, drop in the drawing files. Each one is triaged on arrival.
-
Read
Ask for a discipline or let the assistant work through the document list. It reads every sheet it has not read yet, then names the construction stages that still have no data, such as waterproofing, grills or tanks.
-
Confirm
It lists the assumptions it will use and asks only for what no sheet gives.
-
Calculate and generate
The engine runs. Files appear on the message that produced them, as new versions.
-
Correct
Say what is wrong or missing. BOQ lines and structural members are added, corrected or removed in the chat, and the files regenerate.
-
Come back later
Memory, schedule and files are still there. Long conversations are compacted; nothing is lost.
Inputs it accepts
- DXF
- Best results. Export DWG with AutoCAD SAVEAS or the free ODA converter.
- Vector PDF
- Works with a scale; layers come from optional content or stroke colour.
- Scanned PDF, JPG, PNG, WEBP, TIFF
- Read by the AI into a draft schedule you review before anything is calculated.
Standards and profiles
- Saudi Building Code profile
- Metres, kg/m, Ø mm. SRC cement in substructure, insulated block external, hollow block internal, ready-mix supply.
- Pakistan profile
- Feet, kg/ft, # bar numbers and sutar sizes, ASTM nominal weights, no bend deduction.
- Design codes
- SBC 304, ACI 318 and BS 8666 shape codes, with your own measurement conventions, BOQ formats and terminology.
- Sheet overrides
- Cover, laps, storey height, mixes and block types written on any sheet apply project-wide and are listed under Notes & Assumptions.
Deployed inside your perimeter
- Infrastructure
- Runs on your servers and your network, with no internet dependency after install. We provide the recommended hardware specification.
- Governance
- Built against KSA PDPL and NCA ECC controls and compliant with GCC data privacy laws. Pre-set by-laws are included.
- Audit trail
- Every extraction and edit is logged. Files are immutable: a link shared earlier always returns the file that was shared.
Your rates, your conventions, your history
Commercial control stays with your firm, and so does everything the system learns.
-
Pre-negotiated rate upload
Material and labour rates are loaded once; every estimate across the firm prices from the same book. Tiered presets can be created for quality categories.
-
Governance by-law presets
Pre-set governance by-laws are included, so every estimate follows the same rules.
-
Buffer and wastage limits
Contingencies set by the commercial director, applied consistently, visible in the audit trail.
-
Tuned on your past tenders, owned by you
Learns your measurement conventions and past estimation bias. Tuned models stay on your hardware and remain your property.
