Everything from drawing to issued project
Use one service or all five. Every quantity, price and drawing stays linked to the same project and the same drawings.
Compliance that travels
with every project.
Each project follows its own country’s authorities, codes and approvals, from UAE Civil Defence to the Saudi Building Code and UK Building Regulations.
Plans In. Shop Drawings, 3D Model and BOQ Out.
Upload the architectural plans and AI Quantora Draftsman designs every system you choose — fire, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, ELV and civil — then issues the shop drawings, riser schematics, take-off markup drawings and a 3D coordination model, to your country’s authority rules and the project specification.
- 3D model of every floor and system, with plant rooms (fire pumps, tanks, FAHU), downloadable as IFC and .glb
- Shop drawings and schematics with reference numbers. Every revision (R0, R1, R2 …) is kept
- Markup drawing with every item highlighted and numbered against the BOQ
- AC layout like an approved shop drawing: area sheets at 1:200 with a key plan, fan coil units, duct sizes and airflow
- Rework on consultant comments, with clouds and a response sheet; the drawing number stays the same

How Quantora Engineering Works
From a raw drawing package to an approved, procurement-ready BOQ — four steps, one intelligent platform. Watch it on a real project.
- Upload your drawings — PDF sets, CAD exports, specifications
- AI understands the project — building, floors, zones and every system
- Generate the engineering BOQ — take-off, system-wise and floor-wise, marked on the drawing
- Review and deliver — comments, rework, approval and export to Excel or PDF

Manual Take-off: Estimation Has Never Been This Easy
You mark the drawing. Quantora designs the complete BOQ for every system, to the rules of your project’s country.
- Count and measure — devices, cable, tray and duct runs, at the drawing scale
- Every system — ELV, HVAC, plumbing, fire, electrical and civil, or type your own item
- Designed BOQ — NVRs, switches, fittings, supports and cabling engineered for you, each line says why
- 10 drawings free every month — need more? 30 drawings for $10

Real lines from a first-floor AC layout, exactly as the platform shows them: fan coil units and diffusers read from the sheet’s own schedules, every duct size measured along the drawing, each line with its status — so you can trace every figure back to the drawing before it reaches a tender.
| Line | System | Item Description | Location | Qty | Unit | Status | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | FCU | Fan coil unit, ducted — 19.33 kW total / 16.04 kW sensible, 1,142 L/s, ESP 50 Pa | First Floor | 43 | No | Confirmed | Taken from the sheet’s FCU schedule; 44 FCU tags found on the plan |
| 2 | FCU | Fan coil unit, ducted — 6.92 kW total, 492 L/s, ESP 50 Pa | First Floor | 1 | No | Confirmed | From the FCU schedule (server room) |
| 3 | Ducting | GI rectangular duct 500 × 200 mm, 0.6 mm (24 G) | First Floor | 1,031.95 | m² | Measured | 640.96 m measured along the drawn duct edges, 327 straight runs |
| 4 | Ducting | GI rectangular duct 1000 × 500 mm, 0.8 mm (22 G) | First Floor | 449.09 | m² | Measured | 130.17 m in 83 straight runs; size printed beside the duct |
| 5 | Ducting | Duct thermal insulation, 25 mm closed-cell elastomeric | First Floor | 3,029.26 | m² | Engineered | Equal to the measured rectangular duct area, fittings included |
| 6 | HVAC | Supply round diffuser, Ø416 mm | First Floor | 289 | No | Confirmed | From the sheet’s diffuser and grille schedule |

| 8 | Smoke management | Motorized smoke fire damper | First Floor | 8 | No | Review Required | Counted on the plan; check against the damper schedule |
From Architectural Plan To Issued Shop Drawing
A draughtsman does four things before a sheet can be issued: establish the base plan, read what the specification binds, size the system to the code of the authority having jurisdiction, and set it out. The studio does them in that order, and shows its working at every step.
Base Plan & Scale
- Reads the room enclosures off your architectural PDF
- Takes the scale from the sheet, or calibrates it from one known dimension
- Types every room — office, corridor, plant, car park
- Kept against the project, so it is read once
Specification Review
- Every page searched in your browser
- Tells you which pages specify each system
- Or type the page numbers straight from the contents list
- Each value returned with its page and its clause
Design & Calculation
- 33 MEP, ELV, fire and public health systems
- Device schedule, mounting heights, containment and cable
- Plant sizing, riser and single-line schematics
- Every quantity carries the code clause it came from
Shop Drawing Production
- General notes and design basis on sheet QE-000
- Layouts per level, per discipline, with legend and north point
- Containment routed from the floor IDF along the corridor spine
- Title block, revision, scale bar — SVG, DXF or print
Every Drawing Says What It Was Built On
Sheet QE-000 leads the set with three registers side by side, because three different things bind a shop drawing and they are not the same thing. A reviewer can check any figure on any layout without asking anybody where it came from.
Client Instructions
Building type, levels, gross area, specification grade, floor-to-floor, scope of works, the systems instructed, and every device count fixed by hand. Each one referenced to the project record.
Specification Instructions
Every accepted requirement and every binding clause, each referenced to the document and the page number it was read from. A coverage figure here changes the device count on every level.
Authority Instructions
The authority having jurisdiction for the project's city, and the code clauses that actually produced a quantity on this set. Not a list of standards — the rules that fired.
Works With the Files Your Team Already Uses
Upload the drawings and project documents you already have — Quantora helps turn them into structured engineering outputs.
A Dashboard For Each Discipline
Technical work, commercial control, delivery and draughting each have their own workspace — so a quantity surveyor pricing a tender is never looking at the same screen as the draughtsman setting out a riser. Switch between them at any time; the project data is shared, the working view is not.

Traditional software is manual and static. Quantora reads the drawings, designs the systems, learns from every rework and keeps the project’s memory, in one workflow.
Learn how it works →Every item counted and measured from the drawing, not typed in by hand.
Designs the complete system to the authority rules of the project country.
Consultant comments go in, the next revision comes out with clouds and a response sheet.
Drawings, BOQ, revisions and approvals stay together for the whole job.
Compliance that follows your project, wherever it is
Choose the country and city, and Quantora applies that jurisdiction's authorities, approvals, certificates and codes — not a generic checklist. 532 regulatory rules across 20 countries, 17 system categories each, from the Middle East and Asia to the UK, Europe, the Americas and Australia. Where a city has its own authority it takes precedence; everywhere else the national requirement applies automatically.

Built for the Trades That Price Buildings
Quantora is tuned for MEP and ELV scope — the systems most takeoff tools handle worst, because they live in schedules, risers and symbol legends rather than simple areas and counts.
