Analysing quantities by level, category and source

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

Define the measure and unit before grouping quantities. An area table differs from a count table. Establish which fields exist in the model and which require completion before comparing levels or wings.

Incorporate the data

Grouped totals should reconcile with the selected data set. Review double filtering, blank values and elements classified in more than one group. A difference between typical floors calls for investigation rather than proving an error by itself.

Review before issue

For repeatable review, retain the revision, filters and comparison fields. A summary chart is useful only if reviewers can return to its contributing records and understand what was excluded.

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.
