Frequently Asked Questions
Why do contractors omit items from BOQs?
Some contractors deliberately exclude items like basement filling, sump, waterproofing, or compound wall to make their initial quote look cheaper. When these items arise during construction, they charge premium "extra rates" with no prior agreement — sometimes at 2–3× market rate, since you're already mid-build with no alternative.
Does the AI know current Chennai material rates?
Yes. The engine is calibrated against Buildogram's material procurement database reflecting current Chennai wholesale rates for steel, cement, sand, fly-ash brick, and finishing materials — updated July 2026.
What BOQ formats do you accept?
PDF, Excel (.xlsx, .csv), and clear JPG/PNG photos of physical contractor quotes. Our AI can read tabular data from all common contractor quote formats used across Chennai.
Is the AI decision final?
No. Every report is reviewed by a senior civil or structural engineer before delivery. The AI handles extraction and pattern-matching at scale; humans make the final professional judgment and sign off on all findings.
