Most BoQ tools are either pure AI — unreliable — or pure manual — slow. Finorly runs three deterministic stages with one narrow AI step in the middle, so you get speed without giving up auditability.
Extract is code. Classify is a narrow AI model that maps to your standard. Validate is a rules engine. If any stage disagrees, you see a flag before a number lands in your BoQ.
We pull text, tables, and geometry from your file with code — not AI. PDFs get positional text extraction; DXF files are parsed natively for schedules and attributed blocks.
An AI model maps each line item to your chosen standard. It classifies — it doesn't invent. Every suggestion is a draft until the rules engine validates it.
A rules engine runs the measurement logic for your standard — deductions, wastage, two-of-three math (qty × rate = amount). Any conflict becomes a flag you can review.
We’d rather reject a file than guess at it. The extraction stage is deterministic; if there’s nothing to parse, we don’t rasterise and we don’t hallucinate.
Exports from CAD or Excel. We extract text positionally — layout preserved, tables intact, no OCR guesswork.
Parsed natively. Schedules, blocks, and attributes are read directly from the file — no rasterisation, no conversion loss.
Converted to DXF internally using the same engine as our free conversion tools, then parsed the same way.
Click any line in the editor to see the exact region of your drawing it was extracted from. Nothing floats. If a quantity can’t be traced, it doesn’t ship.
The failure mode of every “AI BoQ tool” is asking the model to do arithmetic. We don’t. Classification is probabilistic; math is not.
Narrow, bounded tasks where language ambiguity is real and rules would overfit.
Anything that needs to be right, not plausible. Handled by a rules engine you could audit.
Each standard is a module — taxonomy, column schema, and measurement rules defined separately. Pick one per project; your firm’s conventions apply at export.
The default for UK building projects since 2013. Work sections from groundworks through finishes, with standardised descriptions and quantity rules.
Extract, classify, validate, flag. The draft lands in the editor before you've finished your coffee.
If the pipeline can't attach a source region and a standard rule to a number, it's flagged — not shipped.
The model never does arithmetic. Quantities come from geometry or schedules — or they don't appear at all.
