For architecture studios

Upload drawings, get a priced SoW

You create the design, Xtimo reads the blueprints and the SoW, and produces a fully estimated project, with a priced SoW. Interrogate Xtimo in plain language to test different options or optimise the budget allocation.

The blockers

Where cost stalls a scheme

01

Cost feedback arrives too late

By the time a QS returns numbers, the design has moved on. You want a cost view while the scheme is still soft enough to change, not after planning.

02

No in-house take-off

Most studios do not keep a quantity surveyor on staff. Producing a credible SoW from drawings means commissioning one, briefing them, and waiting through the lead time.

03

No need to create a SoW before seeing the costs

Early on you have plans and elevations and little else. Turning a set of PDFs into a measured, priced document by hand is days of work.

04

See the cost analysis since early stage

A flat total is not an answer. You need the line items, the quantities behind them, and a clear note on anything uncertain.

How it helps

Drawings in, priced document out

01 Upload what you have

Drop in your blueprint PDFs and, if you have one, the architect SoW Excel. If all you have is drawings, that is enough. Xtimo reads the pages and generates the SoW and Scope of Works for you.

02 Xtimo runs end to end

Parse, take-off, price, and verify run automatically. The layered quantity engine scores each item, HAWK pricing grounds every rate, and the run lands at Ready for review.

03 Review, adjust, export

Open the priced SoW with confidence scores and a needs-review queue. Ask the AI Assistant to explain a line or redraft a section, then export to Excel or PDF.

What you'll use

Built the way real architects work

Reads blueprints, not just spreadsheets

Upload PDF drawings and Xtimo classifies pages, detects room, wall, door and window patterns, and extracts quantities. With no SoW at all, it writes one.

Verbal Mode for the earliest sketch

Before there is a drawing set, describe the job in plain language and Xtimo builds a structured SoW from your description.

Confidence on every quantity

Each quantity is scored, and doubtful ones are flagged. You see where the system is sure and where a human should confirm.

An AI Assistant inside the document

AI answers questions in Analysis mode and drafts or edits line items in Generation mode, without leaving the page.

Fits your process

Cost as a design input, not a verdict

Xtimo sits between the design table and the cost consultant. It gives you a defensible first number and hands the QS a clean, structured document to refine rather than a blank page.

Test schemes while they move

Run a priced SoW on an early option, change the design, and run it again.

Brief clients with line-item detail

Walk a client through quantities and rates they can see, with uncertain items clearly marked.

Hand the QS a head start

Export to Excel or PDF and pass a measured, priced draft to your quantity surveyor.

From teams using Xtimo

“Xtimo turned a full set of drawings into a priced Schedule of Work in a fraction of the time it used to take us. Every line comes back with a confidence score and the ones worth a second look are flagged, so we can put a real number in front of a client far earlier than before.”

Questions studios ask

Do I need a SoW to start, or are drawings enough?+

Drawings are enough. Xtimo reads your blueprint PDFs, classifies the pages, extracts the quantities, and generates the SoW and Scope of Works. If you already have an architect SoW in Excel, upload it too and Xtimo works from both.

How do I know the numbers are trustworthy?+

Every quantity is scored and anything doubtful is flagged for review, so you can see where the system is confident and where a human should confirm. Verification also flags anomalies and spec risks, and you approve the document before it goes anywhere.
