I built an AI that turns a floor plan into a costed BoQs in minutes - would love your honest take
Hey PH 👋
I'm Dakarai. I'm from Zimbabwe, where almost everyone eventually builds a house - and where half-finished homes are part of the skyline because people start building without knowing the real cost, then run out of money.
A proper Bill of Quantities (the priced, line-by-line cost breakdown of a build) normally means hiring a quantity surveyor, waiting 2–6 weeks, and paying hundreds of dollars - so most self-builders just skip it and hope.
Enormous Buildings fixes that: upload your dimensioned floor plans, pick your country and currency, and in a few minutes you get a full, priced, source-cited BoQ - in your country's actual bill format (we support ~200 countries: NRM2 for the UK, CSI takeoffs for the US, SMM bills for East Africa, Leistungsverzeichnis for Germany, and more). Every unit rate cites its source so a quantity surveyor or contractor can check the numbers.
It's free to generate and preview - you only pay 1% of the estimated building cost to unlock the full bill, in your own currency.
A couple of things I'd genuinely love this community's input on:
If you've ever built or renovated - what part of "what will this cost?" stressed you out most?
For the builders/QSs here: what would make you trust an AI-generated BoQ enough to actually use it?
🎁 For PH folks: the first 100 people to use code HUNT50 get 50% off their first BoQ. Happy to answer anything.
