Features
Everything between the drawing and the bid.
Each part of ConCost covers one hand-off that usually happens between a ruler, a PDF viewer, and a spreadsheet — so quantities never get retyped.
Takeoff
Drawing takeoff & scale calibration
Upload PDF, image, DXF, or DWG drawings and measure directly on a live canvas. Calibrate the scale once against a known dimension, and every measurement after that is in real units.
- Lengths, areas, and counts on the drawing itself
- DWG files convert automatically in a background job
- Calibration is per drawing — mixed scales are fine
Calibrated against a known 14.00 m dimension · walls, columns & areas measurable
Organisation
Column & element grouping
Measured elements are grouped the way estimators think: walls by thickness, columns by size. Expand any group to see each element with its length and volume.
- Walls grouped by thickness, columns by size
- Per-element detail with computed volumes
- Hover a group to highlight its elements on the canvas

Assistance
OCR-assisted labeling
A queued OCR job reads the text on your drawing and suggests element labels. Nothing is applied automatically — you confirm or dismiss each suggestion, so the takeoff stays yours.
- Suggestions come from real drawing text
- Confirm or dismiss — no silent changes
- Runs in the background while you keep measuring
- W1 · 230 mm brick wallConfirmed
- C1 · 300 × 300 columnConfirmDismiss
- RCC SLAB 150 THKConfirmDismiss
Suggestions come from drawing text — nothing is applied until you confirm it.
Quantities
BOQ generation
Measured quantities flow straight into an editable bill of quantities. Add manual line items where you need them, and every number stays traceable back to the drawing.
- Generated from your measurements, not retyped
- Manual line items for anything not on the drawing
- Search and category filters for large BOQs
| Item | Qty | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Brickwork 230 mm | 842 m² | ₹24,80,000 |
| RCC columns M25 | 14.6 m³ | ₹14,10,000 |
| Slab concrete M25 | 33.6 m³ | ₹6,80,000 |
| Total | ₹45,70,000 |
Costing
Material rate master + usage norms
An INR rate master holds your material prices; usage norms define how much cement, sand, and brick each work item consumes. Together they turn quantities into itemised costs.
- Rates in INR, editable per project
- Usage norms for brickwork, RCC, plaster, and more
- Material and labour split in the estimate
| Material | Unit | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Cement OPC 53 | bag | ₹385 |
| Bricks (class A) | 1000 nos | ₹6,800 |
| Sand (river) | m³ | ₹1,650 |
| Steel Fe550 | kg | ₹62 |
