Hi Product Hunt 👋 I am Elie — MEP engineer with 20 years of international project experience across GCC, Europe, and North America. The problem I kept watching repeat itself on every large-scale project: engineers spending 4–6 hours manually pricing or auditing a MEP bill of quantities, with no reference to check contractor rates against. Developers overpaying on MEP packages because nobody on their team had the time or data to challenge the numbers. Junior engineers pricing from memory because there was no verified baseline to work from. I had seen enough of it to know the problem was systematic — not a skills gap, but a data and tooling gap. So I built the MEP BOQ Intelligence Tool. It prices a 500-line MEP BOQ against a 777-item verified 2026 GCC reference database in under 4 minutes. AI semantic matching — not keyword matching — so it handles your firm's description language, abbreviations, and variants. Variance flags on every line. Material, accessories, and labour broken out per spec tier. Regional multipliers for GCC, USA, and Western Europe — all editable directly in the UI. How the process evolved: I originally built this for my own use on a project. A simple reference table in Excel. Then colleagues started asking for copies. Then I realised the real problem was not the reference data — it was the matching. Manually comparing 200 contractor line items against a reference table takes almost as long as pricing from scratch. That is when I added the AI layer — semantic matching that understands what a line item means, not just what it says. The v4 Custom Reference Edition came from international users who needed to upload their own firm's rate book rather than use the GCC reference. USA and UK contractors whose description vocabulary does not match GCC terminology. QS firms with 10 years of their own project data that is more accurate for their next project than any published reference. The free demo is live on the landing page — type your own MEP item descriptions and get 2026 reference rates back in real time. No account, no API key, no sign-up. If it works on your BOQ language you will know within 90 seconds. Happy to answer any questions about the tool, the database, or the AI matching logic. This community tends to ask good technical questions and I am here all day. — Elie workflowiq.store
