How AI Extraction Works for Plumbers

As an plumber, 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 plumbers-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.

Quotably AI extracts line items from text-based plumbing documents such as specifications, scope of works, schedules, and job descriptions.
