Takeoff to priced BOQ.In hours, not weeks.
Nodus reads your villa drawings, measures every quantity, and prices it against a live UAE market database, producing a Bill of Quantities that is ready to tender.
Made for the people who price the build
Villa contractors
Win more tenders with faster, sharper pricing, without growing the estimating team.
Quantity surveying firms
Cut the manual takeoff hours and turn more bids around in the same week.
Consultants and developers
Get a quick, reliable cost picture early, before committing to a tender or a budget.
Built for real projects in the Gulf
From villa sites to tender rooms, Nodus is grounded in how construction actually gets priced here.
Estimating is the slowest, most manual step in construction
Days to weeks per BOQ
Manual takeoff across dozens of drawing sheets, repeated for every tender.
Prices go stale fast
There is no live local price reference, so estimators lean on scattered files and memory.
High cost, no scale
More projects means more people and more hours. The work simply does not scale.
of project cost is lost to material waste in the UAE, driven largely by inaccurate quantities. Precise, priced BOQs cut straight into that waste.
Price it too high and you lose the tender. Too low and you lose the profit.
Tendering is a tight window. The bid that lands fast, with quantities you can trust, is the one that wins the work without quietly eating the margin.
You miss the deadline or rush the numbers, and the bid goes out weaker than it should.
A competitor wins the project on a sharper price, and the work walks out the door.
You win but lose money, because the quantities missed what the build actually costs.
Nodus is built to hit the middle: fast turnaround, quantities you can trust.
Three steps to a finished BOQ
We built it for villas first, because they are the most repeatable project type.
Upload drawings
Drop villa drawings (PDF or CAD) straight into Nodus. No manual setup, no templates.
AI measures everything
The model detects spaces, performs the takeoff, and structures every item for you.
Get a priced BOQ
Quantities are priced from the local database and exported, ready for the tender.
From days to minutes
Watch a project go from raw drawings to a complete, priced Bill of Quantities.
Not another takeoff tool
Global tools stop at quantities. Nodus delivers the priced BOQ, calibrated to the Gulf.
Local price engine
Pricing built from real UAE market data, suppliers, and past tenders. That is the part no global tool has.
Hours, not weeks
Automated takeoff turns days of manual sheet by sheet work into one short session.
Arabic and English
Built for how the Gulf actually works, with bilingual output and local conventions.
Ready to tender
A complete, structured, priced BOQ, not a raw quantity dump that needs a second tool.
Made for the UAE
Local municipality standards and supplier reality built in, instead of a foreign tool bolted on.
A moat that compounds
Every project deepens the price database, making the output more accurate over time.
