AI Document Extraction

Upload Your Docs. AI Does the Data Entry.

Stop spending hours manually reading through specifications and scope documents. Upload your text-based documents and let Quotably AI extract line items matched to your pricing — you review and approve every item.

How It Works

Four simple steps from document upload to a complete Bill of Quantities.

Step 1

Upload Your Documents

Upload job descriptions, scope of works, specifications, schedules, or tender documents. Quotably accepts text-based PDFs and common document formats.

Step 2

AI Reads and Extracts

Our AI analyses the text content of your documents, identifies relevant items, quantities, and specifications. It matches extracted items against your existing pricing lists automatically.

Step 3

Review and Approve

Every AI-suggested line item is presented for your review. Adjust quantities, swap items, or add extras. Nothing proceeds without your explicit approval.

Step 4

Generate Your BOQ

Once approved, your line items flow straight into the BOQ builder. From there you can generate quotes, shopping lists, and more — all in minutes.

Key Benefits

Save Hours on Data Entry

Stop manually reading through pages of specifications and scope documents. AI extracts the key information in seconds, turning hours of data entry into minutes of review.

Matched to Your Pricing

Extracted items are automatically matched against your pricing lists, so you get accurate cost estimates from the moment items are identified.

You Stay in Control

AI suggests — you decide. Every extracted item must be reviewed and approved before it becomes part of your quote. No surprises, no automation you cannot override.

Works with Text-Based Documents

Specifications, scope of works, schedules, job descriptions, and tender documents. The AI extracts line items from the text content of your construction documents.

Learns Your Business

The more you use Quotably, the better the AI gets at understanding your trade-specific terminology, common items, and preferred pricing structures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of documents can I upload?

Quotably works best with text-based documents such as scope of works, specifications, schedules, job descriptions, tender documents, and text-based PDFs. The AI extracts line items from the written content of your documents. Note: Quotably does not currently support visual extraction from scanned plans or drawings.

How accurate is the AI extraction?

The AI provides a strong starting point that improves over time as it learns your pricing lists and trade-specific terminology. Every extraction is presented for your review — you always have the final say on what makes it into your BOQ.

Can the AI handle trade-specific terminology?

Yes. Quotably is built specifically for Australian construction and trades. The AI understands trade terminology for electricians, plumbers, painters, builders, landscapers, and more. It also learns your specific item names and codes over time.

What happens if the AI gets something wrong?

You are always in control. Every AI-suggested line item is clearly marked as a suggestion. You can edit, remove, or replace any item before approving it. Nothing is finalised without your sign-off.

Do I need to set up pricing lists first?

While AI extraction works without pricing lists, it performs best when matched against your existing prices. You can import pricing lists via Excel template or build them directly in Quotably.

Can Quotably extract items from scanned plans or drawings?

Not currently. Quotably extracts line items from text-based documents — specifications, scope of works, schedules, and job descriptions. Visual extraction from scanned architectural or engineering drawings is not yet supported.

Stop typing. Start quoting.
