Automatically categorise, benchmark and surface prices so QS teams deliver faster, more accurate cost plans.
Upload your BoQ documents with ease AI-powered categorization of line items Powerful search and filtering capabilities Comprehensive rate analysis and insights Project-based organization and management Deep-dive visual dashboards Collaborate seamlessly with your team
Our streamlined process takes you from data overload to actionable insights in three simple steps.
Simply upload your Excel files — no manual data entry needed. Our system intelligently reads and processes your documents automatically.
Every line item becomes human-readable and categorised intelligently, making your data searchable, comparable, and meaningful.
Search, benchmark, and analyse your own project rates with powerful analytics tools built specifically for quantity surveyors.
Your historical project data is your most valuable asset. Rate QS helps you unlock its full potential.
Your past projects contain valuable price data that's sitting unused in archives or spreadsheets, losing value every day it remains unanalysed.
Manually extracting, organizing, and comparing rates across projects is time-consuming, error-prone, and prevents you from making timely decisions.
Shared price books don't reflect your firm's actual pricing and procurement advantages - your private data is your most valuable competitive edge.
Watch how our AI intelligently categorises construction line items in real-time, transforming unstructured BoQ data into organised, searchable insights.
From raw Excel data to intelligent categories in seconds
No manual input required – just upload and watch the magic happen
Your BoQ data transforms into stage-specific insights throughout the entire project lifecycle. Upload once, leverage everywhere.
High-level m² rates benchmarked across project types, sizes, and locations.
Cross-project composite rates and granular unit rates at any level of detail.
Individual BoQ line inspection for extremely accurate PTE pricing.
Contractor cost verification against industry trends and your own data.
Stop recreating the wheel for every stage. Your uploaded BoQs become a comprehensive cost intelligence platform that grows more valuable with every project.
Our platform is built specifically for quantity surveyors, with features designed to solve your unique challenges.
Drag-and-drop a CSV/XLS/XLSX and watch our uploader crunch thousands of BoQ lines in seconds. The NLP engine then bulk-generates keywords - so your data is structured and comparison-ready in under 10 minutes, not hours
We distil every verbose line item into a clean two-part tag (e.g., Slab; in-situ concrete). This bottom-up standardisation unlocks apples-to-apples rate benchmarking across projects—something BCIS or plain Excel simply can’t do
One click and our Risk & Data Quality audit flags outliers (3 σ), duplicates, missing values and unclassified items. Fix issues before they infect your benchmarks and client advice
Flip from 30 000-ft metrics (cost / m², on-cost distribution) to granular breakdowns in one view. Dynamic filters (building type, GIA range, stage, etc.) let you benchmark any slice of your portfolio in real time
Need the latest aluminium-door rate? Two clicks shows median, quartiles, volatility and project-size regression for that exact keyword—all exportable to PNG or CSV for your reports
Your data is ring-fenced—never mixed with other customers, never used to train third-party models. Encryption at rest and in transit means only your team sees your rates.
Choose the plan that works best for your team, with no hidden fees or complicated pricing structures.

Unlike static spreadsheets or generic indices, Rate QS captures every line-item, abstracts it into standardised "keywords," and lets you query, filter and benchmark across all past projects in seconds—so insights stay live, granular and project-specific.
A keyword is a two-part tag—ELEMENT; DESCRIPTOR (e.g., Slab; in-situ concrete)—assigned to each pricing line. This short, consistent label makes costs comparable across different documents and projects.
When you upload a document, our NLP engine concatenates heading, sub-heading and item text, then classifies each line. You can bulk-generate all keywords or trigger them row-by-row; the process usually completes in 1–10 minutes.
It returns N/A, which you can quickly filter and manually edit. This keeps data visible rather than silently dropping lines.
.CSV, .XLSX and .XLS pricing documents are supported via drag-and-drop or the advanced uploader.
Yes—projects sit above pricing documents, so you can attach multiple tenders, cost-plan stages or contractor returns to the same project record.
Building type, sector, contract type, stage, number of floors, basement levels and Gross Internal Area (GIA) for instant £/m², on-cost percentages and more.
A dedicated Risk & Data Quality tab highlights rate outliers (3 σ), unclassified items, potential duplicates and incomplete rows, so teams can clean data proactively.
Project Benchmarking (cost-per-m², allowance distribution, interactive cost-breakdowns) and Rate Benchmarking (keyword explorer, distribution graphs, volatility, cross-project comparisons, regression vs project size), plus a deep-dive Rate Library.
Yes. Every table and graph includes export options (CSV, image, PDF) so you can drop insights straight into reports or client presentations.
All documents are stored in an encrypted cloud environment; your cost data never leaves your workspace and is not mixed with other customers' libraries. (Internal security practices follow industry best-practice encryption in transit and at rest.)
No—keyword models are trained on public and synthetic corpora; we do not reuse customer pricing in other accounts. Your rates remain 100% private.
Most firms upload their first cost plan, generate keywords and start seeing benchmarks in under 30 minutes. Our team offers white-glove onboarding calls to load initial data for you if preferred.
Starter: £99 / month for up to 10 BOQs; Growth: £299 / month for 35 BOQs; Enterprise: bespoke pricing with unlimited uploads, SSO, API and SLAs.
You can either upgrade plans or buy one-off upload packs; the system notifies admins before limits are hit.
Exported CSVs slot straight into Excel or Power BI; Enterprise plans can enable a REST API for direct feeds into data warehouses or custom dashboards.
Yes—admins can add, edit or merge keywords, keeping your taxonomy aligned with internal cost-coding or NRM, UNICLASS etc.
