Construction quotes and BOQs drafted from your approved price tables
Phak AI helps construction and building materials firms speed up quoting with the data they already have. Teams search past quotes and ask about Excel price tables in Thai. Smart Quote drafts BOQs and preliminary budget ranges from the company's approved tables, adapted to how each company works. Every quote is reviewed by an engineer or salesperson before it goes to the client.
The old way
- Clients ask for a budget and wait for an engineer
- Digging through years of folders for old quotes
- Taking off items from drawings line by line
With Phak AI
- Preliminary ranges from the approved price table
- Find past quotes with similar specs in plain Thai
- AI drafts the BOQ for an engineer to check
Why construction quotes take so long
Pricing depends on a few people
Takeoffs and pricing sit with senior engineers or quantity surveyors (QS), so jobs wait in line.
Clients want a budget before meeting
Homeowners and factories ask about budget in the first chat, but the team has no approved figures to share.
Similar past jobs are hard to find
Quotes and BOQs for similar jobs are buried in years of folders and email.
Manual takeoffs
Project work means pulling items from drawings line by line. It takes time and items get missed.

How construction quotes and BOQs work
This builds on the front-line assistant and the knowledge base your company already uses.
Collect pricing data
Add approved price tables, cost formulas, and past quotes to the knowledge base.
Start from a complete brief
Use the brief from the front-line assistant as the starting point. Anything missing is asked once.
Find the closest past job
Search past quotes with similar specs to use as the base for the new one.
Draft the BOQ or budget range
Smart Quote drafts items and budget ranges from your approved tables. Project work uses the BOQ version to take off items from drawings.
An engineer reviews and approves
An engineer or salesperson checks, edits, and approves every quote before it goes to the client.

Frequently asked questions
What does Smart Quote need before it drafts a quote?
A good quote needs a complete brief and an approved price table. The front-line assistant captures the brief and the knowledge base holds the price tables, so Smart Quote drafts from the right data.
Can the assistant share a budget range with clients on LINE?
Yes, using only the company's approved table and making clear it is preliminary. The actual price comes from an engineer or salesperson once the brief is complete.
Can AI do BOQ takeoffs instead of engineers?
No. AI drafts the items as a starting point, and results depend on the drawings and your price data. An engineer or QS checks quantities and prices every time.
