How AI Extraction Works for Painters
As an painter, you receive all kinds of documents — specifications, scope of works, schedules, job descriptions, and client briefs. Manually reading through these to build a Bill of Quantities takes hours.
Quotably AI reads your documents and identifies the line items relevant to your trade. It understands painters-specific terminology, recognises common items, and matches everything against your pricing lists.
You review every AI suggestion before it becomes part of your BOQ. Adjust quantities, swap items, add notes, or remove anything that does not apply. The AI gives you a head start — you make the final call.
