A closer look

See the AI agents at work

Each skill is grounded in real Malaysian Material, Labour and Machinery data — from a one-line rate check to a full, tender-ready Bill of Quantities. Here is what they produce.

AI BOQ Drafting

Describe a project in one sentence (“2,000 m² warehouse in Senai”) and Caprix drafts the full SMM2 bill structure: trades, correctly worded items and units. You measure; then price each line from live rate lookups or your own rate library. Building by hand is free on any plan; the AI draft spends credits, and PDF export is free with a watermark, clean on Pro & Max.

Addenda & Variation Orders

Edit an issued bill and Caprix records the difference as a numbered Addendum or VO, with a reason and its own printable PDF.

From a question to a tender-ready Bill of Quantities

Stop rebuilding spreadsheets for every project. Let AI draft the structure, price each line from live Malaysian rates or your own library, apply your markup, and export the clean documents your client expects.

  • Measured, sum, PC, provisional & contingency item types
  • Custom columns and per-bill markup calculations
  • Import — Excel or PDF to kick-start from existing bills

Built for the people who price the build

Whether you're tendering, budgeting or value-engineering, Caprix removes the spreadsheet grind.

Turn a brief into a defensible cost estimate in minutes, with an AI elemental breakdown you can stand behind.

Contractors & Builders

Check unit rates on the fly and sanity-check quotes before you commit to a tender price.

Architects

Test the cost impact of design decisions early, while changes are still cheap to make.

Project Managers

Build budgets backed by real indices and watch cost trends so there are no surprises mid-project.

Students & Trainees

Learn how Malaysian rates and BOQs really fit together, with an AI tutor that explains every number. Start free, or get Pro at the student price of RM25 a month.

The AI pipeline

From a one-line brief to a tender-ready bill

Four AI-assisted moves. No blank spreadsheets, no rate books, no copy-paste.

1

Describe or import

Type a one-line brief, or drop in an existing Excel or PDF bill and let Import structure it.

2

AI drafts it

Draft lays out the SMM2 bills with correctly worded items and units, trade by trade.

3

Measure & price

Enter quantities, pull live rates or your library build-ups, set markup, and co-edit with your team.

4

Check & issue

Run Review, export an encrypted tender-ready PDF, and track later changes as Addenda or VOs.

Questions & answers

Construction cost estimating & BOQ software, answered

Everything quantity surveyors, estimators and contractors ask before switching to Caprix AI.

What is Caprix AI?
Caprix AI is an AI cost intelligence platform for the Malaysian construction industry. Twelve specialist skills work in two families: the Construction Intelligence Agents analyse unit rates, produce elemental budgets, track and forecast cost trends, read official statistics and give contract guidance; the BOQ Agents draft, import, check, compare and export tender-ready SMM2 Bills of Quantities. Everything runs in two workspaces, Chat and BOQ.
Does Caprix support SMM2 and SMM3 Bills of Quantities?
Caprix drafts, prices, checks and exports Bills of Quantities in SMM2 format from a short brief, so you get a tender-ready BOQ without formatting it line by line. SMM3 support is in development and is not available yet.
Where do the construction unit rates and prices come from?
Caprix works with Malaysian construction intelligence across material, labour and machinery. Analyse answers rate questions in plain language grounded in that data and returns each rate with its full price history, Trends tracks how construction costs and tender prices have moved over time, and Research reads official DOSM, Bank Negara and MOF statistics alongside it.
Who is Caprix built for?
Caprix is built for quantity surveyors, estimators, contractors and builders, architects, project managers, and students working on construction projects in Malaysia — anyone who prices the build.
Can Caprix monitor construction material prices for me?
Yes. The Track skill lets you pin up to 10 rates — steel, cement, ready-mix concrete, labour or machinery — to a price watchlist. Each card shows the current price, the change in value and percent, and a six-period trendline, and updates itself when a newer period of data is published. Track is available on the Pro and Max plans.
Does Caprix offer team or company accounts?
Yes. A Corporate account puts several estimators under one company account, with either a shared credit pool or a fixed allowance per seat. Every member inherits the company plan, billing is annual to the company while credits still renew monthly, and you can add or remove team members at any time. Teams also get a shared BOQ workspace with live co-editing and a Company rate library. Talk to us about a Corporate account →
Can my team work on the same Bill of Quantities at the same time?
Yes, on a Corporate account. Share a project with the whole company or with named teammates, and everyone can edit it live: you see who is in the project, a row a teammate is editing is softly locked, and each cell shows who last changed it. Once a bill is issued, later changes can be recorded as numbered Addenda or Variation Orders.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. You can start for free with 30 credits that reset every month — no credit card needed — and upgrade to Pro or Max when you are pricing real projects. See full plan details →
How much do Pro and Max cost?
Pro is RM49 a month for 2,000 credits and Max is RM99 a month for 4,000 credits. Paying yearly takes an extra 15% off those new prices: RM499.80 a year for Pro (RM41.65 a month) and RM1,009.80 a year for Max (RM84.15 a month), with credits still renewed every month. University students with a verified .edu email get Pro for RM25 a month. Compare the plans →
