Caprix AI, answered

Caprix AI is an AI cost intelligence platform for the Malaysian construction industry. It brings two families of AI agents into one workspace: Cost Data Agents, which ask, estimate and track prices across Material, Labour and Machinery; and BOQ Agents, which build, price, check and export tender-ready Bills of Quantities.

Caprix is built for quantity surveyors, estimators, contractors and builders, architects, project managers, and construction students working in Malaysia.

Cost Data Agents — AI Ask, AI Estimate and AI Trends — ask, estimate and track prices across Material, Labour and Machinery. BOQ Agents — AI Import, AI Draft, AI Compare, AI Review and AI Items — build, price, check and export tender-ready Bills of Quantities.

AI Ask lets you ask any rate question in plain language and get a clear answer, grounded in real Malaysian construction cost data. It uses 2 credits per query.

AI Estimate turns a building type, location and target year into a defensible ballpark budget in seconds, presented as an elemental breakdown of the project cost. It is a Pro and Max feature and uses 5 credits.

AI Trends tracks how construction costs, tender prices and market indices have moved over time, so you can price your work with the trend in mind. It is a Pro and Max feature and uses 5 credits.

AI Draft lets you describe the works in plain words and get a structured, priced BOQ drafted for you to refine. A full draft uses 20 credits.

AI Import lets you drop in an Excel or PDF bill and have AI read, structure and tidy it into a clean, editable BOQ. Excel import is free; PDF import uses 1 credit per 5 pages.

AI Review checks your finished BOQ for missing trades, wrong units, and quantities or rates that look off. It uses 5 credits.

AI Compare benchmarks your rates against comparable projects so you can see where you sit — high, low or on the money. It starts from 10 credits.

AI Items generates individual line items on demand and drops them straight into your bill. It uses 5 credits.
