PlanIt Estimating ยท Commercial Tenders & Bills of Quantities
Scan a tender pack and let PlanIt do the take-off
What does this do?
Drop in the pack as received, drawings, finish schedules, scopes of works, specifications and Excel schedules, and PlanIt reads the lot, finds the flooring scope and builds a take-off for your review. Nothing enters the bill until you accept it.
How to use it
- Open Tenders and find ๐ก Scan Tender Documents at the top.
- Add the files: PDFs, photos, Excel (.xlsx or .xlsm), CSV or text, up to 30MB each. Anything larger is skipped.
- Press ๐ Scan N documents as a new tender. You need to be signed in, because the reader runs on the server.
- Review the table. Every row starts PENDING. Low-confidence rows are marked REVIEW, and AI CALCULATED marks quantities read or worked out from drawings rather than stated.
- On each row press โ to accept, โ to exclude, โ to edit or โ to flag it. Accept all high-confidence and Accept all do it in bulk.
- Tick Merge identical works across rooms to consolidate the same work into one bill line, then press Add N accepted to bill โ. Only accepted rows go in and they show as IN BILL.
- Check โ Tender queries / clarifications for conflicts PlanIt found between documents, each with a suggested RFI to send back to the contractor.
- If a document could not be read, or you add more files, press โป Rescan. Rows already in the bill are not touched.
