Mapping model data to BOQ items

A workflow guide for preparing and reviewing a BOQ. It describes professional checks and does not promise automatic recognition, compatibility or a connection that has not been verified for the project.

AiN demo: model alongside a quantity table

Check the source

Mapping begins with the work description rather than the family name alone. Check material, use, location and measurement unit against the intended item. One element can represent several work activities, each requiring a defined scope.

Incorporate the data

A mapping rule should be explainable: which data triggered it, what it includes and what requires completion. Do not transfer it to another project without checking the model structure and contract documents.

Review before issue

Start with a small representative group and check the result against drawings. After refining the rule, review exceptions and unmapped elements. A quantity total cannot replace inspection of the lines that produced it.

Review checklist

Identify the source file and revision.
Record the unit and measurement rule, and check scope boundaries.
Distinguish model data, manual completion and AI suggestions.
Record missing data or exceptions before using a quantity for pricing.

AiN uses AI and can make mistakes. These guides were prepared with AI assistance and have not been reviewed by Yaakov Avital; professional review is required before project use.
