SpecParse converts BOQ and engineering PDF tables into structured Excel, CSV, and JSON files. It is built for quantity surveyors, estimators, tender engineers, and construction teams who want to reduce manual data entry. SpecParse is currently available as a free beta, and I’m looking for honest feedback on extraction accuracy and usability.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I built SpecParse to solve a problem I noticed in construction workflows: valuable BOQ and engineering data is often trapped inside PDF tables and must be copied manually into Excel. SpecParse converts these documents into structured Excel, CSV, and JSON files. The product is currently in free beta. I’m looking for feedback from quantity surveyors, estimators, tender engineers, and anyone who works with complex PDF tables. I’d especially appreciate feedback about extraction accuracy and the exported file structure. Thanks for checking it out!

Tried SpecParse on a messy BOQ PDF with merged cells and it pulled out the line items cleanly into Excel. The auto-detect of column headers saved me a lot of cleanup time.

@cemileulus4tsh Thanks so much for trying SpecParse and for the detailed feedback! 🙌 I’m really glad it handled the merged cells and saved you cleanup time — that’s exactly the kind of problem I’m trying to solve. I’d love to know how accurate the extracted quantities and values were, and if there were any parts of the exported Excel file that still needed manual cleanup.
