Not One Item Forgotten Again

Every measurement system carries a full checklist of its elements — and the AI assistant flags missing items before they become pricing losses.

An Assistant That Never Forgets
Footings & tie beams checked ✓
Columns & neck columns checked ✓
Alert: “mesh between courses” missing — add it
Live Link to Drawing & Cost

Quantities Linked to Your Drawing & Cost

Every quantity references an element and its level — edit the drawing, and quantities & pricing update automatically. No recounting.

From Drawing to Dirham
Automatic measurement from drawing elements
Linked to levels & floors
Instant pricing from your rate library

How many items slipped from your last take-off? One forgotten item flips the price.

With manual take-off, every new drawing means days of counting and copying into sheets… and errors that surface too late.

Watch Quanto Work — Right NowThe scanner reads the drawing… and BOQ items generate live, in a repeating loop.

Quanto for Every Party — Owner, Consultant, or Contractor

One system… different value for every seat at the table. Pick yours:

So Easy, Non-Specialists Use It

A guided, step-by-step interface: anyone with basic experience can take off their own project — and even a non-technical owner masters the basics with brief training.

Guided prompts (AR/EN)No complex setupBrief training is enoughAlerts correct you as you goFinal call stays with the professional
See your project’s true costNot one opaque number — direct costs, indirect costs, and declared contractor fees, item by item.
Take off your own quantitiesWith brief training you upload your drawing and answer guided prompts — knowing what your project needs before negotiating with any contractor.
Negotiate knowing the numbersAny quotation is compared against Quanto’s unified items — inflation or missing items surface instantly.
From the system: what makes up your project price? AED 2.4M villa
Direct costs 86%8%6%
Direct costs — materials, labor & equipment2,064,000 AED
Indirect costs — site management & running192,000 AED
Contractor fees — declared & transparent144,000 AED
Total price = full transparency, no hidden items2,400,000 AED

* Illustrative split — Quanto shows it for your actual project item by item, so you see where every dirham goes and whose fees you pay.

Standardized, unified itemsOne code, description, quantity & spec per item — ending the chaos of “everyone prices their own way”.
Fair comparison across biddersBids are leveled onto the same unified items, so price alone is evaluated — not wording differences.
Faster audit, documented decisionEvery quantity traces to its drawing element — and your recommendation rests on one shared basis.
From the system: tender leveling on unified items Tender Leveling
Unified itemQtyBidder ABidder BBidder C
C-102 · Footing concrete (m³)39.61,050 ★1,120+7%985−6%
M-201 · 200mm block (m²)31295 ★92−3%118+24%
F-310 · Porcelain tiling (m²)185160 ★171+7%158−1%
Quanto alert: Bidder C’s blockwork rate is 24% higher — verify mesh & lintels are included by the others before ruling it out.

* Same code, same quantity, same spec — only then is the comparison fair and the recommendation sound.

Price your bid in hours, not weeksA unified item library + your saved rates = a complete BOQ ready to submit before competitors.
Margin protected from forgotten itemsChecklists and AI alerts recover sub-items before they become post-award losses.
Your whole team speaks one languageEven a junior engineer produces professional take-offs — the system guides them step by step.

* Real margin starts with a take-off that forgets nothing — the recovered items above would have come out of your profit.

Quanto doesn’t replace your expertise… it multiplies its speed.

Built on real QS methodology from actual UAE projects — not promises.

Questions Engineers & Owners Ask

Do I need deep technical expertise to use Quanto?+
No — the interface is guided step by step. Anyone with basic experience can take off their own project, and even a non-technical owner masters the basics with brief training; final approval always rests with the professional.
Does Quanto replace the engineer or the QS?+
No. Quanto is a smart assistant that measures, computes and suggests — review, approval and the final decision always remain with the professional.
How does it ensure no item is forgotten?+
Every measurement system (footings, tie beams, columns, beams…) carries a full checklist of its elements & fields, and the AI assistant flags missing items before pricing.
Are quantities truly linked to the drawing?+
Yes — every quantity references a specific element and level. Edit the drawing, and its linked quantities update automatically.
Where do BOQ rates come from?+
From a fully customizable rate library for your project, market and suppliers — update it easily and the BOQ reflects it instantly.
Does it fit my projects?+
Quanto is designed first for UAE villas and individual residences — ALDOURI’s home turf — expanding gradually to other project types.
