Upload a building floor plan for automatic dimension reading and quantity takeoff. Receive an editable, print-ready Excel Measurement Book by email to help prepare building BOQs and estimates using applicable PWD SOR rates.
BuildingEstimate.in helps construction professionals reduce the repetitive work of reading dimensions from building drawings and writing them manually into measurement sheets.
Upload your building floor plan using the form above. The system reads the drawing information it supports, performs quantity takeoff, calculates applicable building quantities and prepares a well-organised Building Measurement Book (MB) in editable Excel format.
The generated workbook is emailed to you after successful processing. You can review and edit the measurements, apply the relevant PWD Schedule of Rates (SOR) for your state, and use the quantities to prepare a Bill of Quantities (BOQ) or building estimate.
Upload your building plan. Submit the drawing and the information requested in the data entry form above.
Select the estimation type. Choose Ground Floor, Upper Storey or G+1 from the existing dropdown.
Read dimensions and calculate quantities. The system processes the drawing information it can identify and calculates applicable quantities.
Generate the Excel Measurement Book. The system arranges the calculated measurements in the configured workbook.
Receive the workbook by email. After successful processing, receive the Excel file for checking, editing and printing.
Prepare your BOQ or estimate. Verify the measurements, make necessary corrections and apply the relevant state PWD SOR rates or other applicable rates.
Less repetitive manual work
Reduce the need to transcribe every supported drawing dimension manually into a measurement sheet.
Organised item-wise measurements
Present calculated dimensions and quantities in a consistent spreadsheet format suitable for review.
Editable Excel format
Review, correct and edit the workbook where required, subject to the workbook's editable fields and formulas.
Use your own state rates
Apply applicable PWD SOR rates, specifications and item descriptions to develop your own BOQ or building estimate.
Convenient email delivery
Receive the generated workbook without having to prepare the entire measurement sheet from scratch.
Select the appropriate option in the form above. These are descriptions of the system's supported workflows, not separate services or duplicate forms.
Ground Floor Building Estimate
For a ground-floor building, including applicable foundation, excavation and plinth quantities as supported by the system.
Upper Storey Estimate
For an upper floor, excluding excavation and plinth quantities as specified for this option.
G+1 Building Estimate
For a ground floor and one upper floor, with shared foundations and structural items treated according to the system's calculation rules.
A Measurement Book organises dimensions and quantities. A BOQ or detailed estimate generally requires additional decisions, including item descriptions, applicable specifications, units, rates and other relevant cost components.
The Excel workbook is intended to give professionals a useful starting point. After checking the quantities, users can apply their applicable state PWD SOR rates, make necessary adjustments and prepare the estimate according to the project's requirements.
Does the system read the building plan automatically?
The service processes drawing information supported by the system. Results depend on drawing clarity, dimensions, file compatibility and the details available.
Do I receive the measurement sheet in Excel format?
The service is designed to generate an editable Excel Measurement Book and deliver it by email after successful processing.
Can I edit the Excel file?
Yes, you can edit the workbook's editable cells and revise measurements or quantities as necessary. Check formulas and linked totals after making changes.
Can I use my state's PWD Schedule of Rates?
Yes. You can use the verified quantities with the relevant state's PWD SOR or other applicable rates when preparing your BOQ or estimate.
Does the service prepare the final estimate automatically?
The main deliverable described here is the Excel Measurement Book with calculated quantities. Preparing a priced BOQ or final estimate may require applying rates, specifications and other project-specific cost components.
How long does processing take?
The target is approximately one minute for typical submissions. Actual time can vary with file size, drawing complexity and processing requirements.
Are the generated quantities guaranteed to be correct?
No automated quantity takeoff should be assumed error-free. Review the extracted dimensions, calculations, omissions and applicable construction requirements before relying on the output.
This service assists with building drawing analysis, quantity takeoff and preparation of measurement sheets. The user remains responsible for verifying dimensions, quantities, specifications and rates before using the workbook for tendering, construction, financial assessment or official submissions. The generated workbook is not represented as an officially certified government Measurement Book.
We plan to expand the Building Plan to Excel Measurement Book service with additional Excel sheets to support the complete building estimation workflow, including:
Blank Abstract Sheets – for organising item-wise quantities and amounts.
Blank General Abstract Sheet – for preparing a consolidated summary of the estimate.
Material Required in This Project – for preparing a preliminary material requirement statement based on project quantities.
Additional Estimation Sheets – to support BOQ preparation, cost calculation, and project planning.
Our objective is to make BuildingEstimate.in a more useful platform for civil engineers, architects, quantity surveyors, contractors, and estimation professionals.
These additional facilities are planned for future development and may not be available in the current service.
Helping construction professionals simplify building measurements and quantity estimation.
