For quantity surveyors

Construction Intelligence: seven skills in one chat

Describe the task in plain language and Caprix selects the right skill and prepares its form for you to review and run.

Analyse

Unit rates by state, year and month, each with its full price history. On every plan.

Compare rates

One item across states, or two to four rates side by side over time.

Estimate

A full elemental cost breakdown from a one-line building brief.

Trends

How the Tender Price Index and cost indices have moved, plus a forecast for any unit rate.

Track

A watchlist of up to 10 rates that updates itself when newer prices land.

Research

Official DOSM, Bank Negara and MOF statistics, read alongside Caprix indices and rates.

Advise

Contract guidance on payment, delay, LAD and CIPAA, from Malaysian case law and your PDFs.

BOQ Agents: five skills in the BOQ Builder

Draft

Drafts the full SMM2 bill structure from a brief: trades, correctly worded items and units.

Import

Reads an Excel or PDF bill and structures it into a clean, editable BOQ.

Items

Drafts the missing items for one bill, for you to review before they are added.

Review

Checks a finished bill for missing trades, wrong units and off rates.

Compare

Puts two to five priced projects side by side and explains the gap, line by line.

The Builder is open on every plan. Building a bill by hand, composing rate build-ups and importing from Excel are free; AI actions spend credits; the tender-ready PDF preview and export is on Pro and Max.

Comparing tenders and projects like for like

Two projects are rarely priced in the same year or built in the same state. Compare puts them on a common footing first: it adjusts figures in time with the tender price index and across states with the regional cost index, and tells you which adjustments it applied. Then it explains the differences, so you can tell a real gap from one that is only geography and timing.

Built for teams as well

A Corporate account puts a whole estimating team under one company plan, with a single invoice and credits held as a shared pool or per seat. Projects are private until you share them, with everyone or only the teammates you pick, and a shared bill is live: two people can work on it at once, with rows locked while someone is typing. The Company Library gives the team one shared rate book.

What Caprix does not do

Caprix does not measure quantities from drawings or models. Draft writes the bill structure and wording and leaves quantities and rates blank on purpose: you measure, then price. If your quantities come from a model, see BIM and 5D cost estimating.

Free gives 50 credits every month. Pro is RM99 a month with 2,000 credits, and Max is RM149 a month with 4,000. See the full plan comparison →

Questions about QS software

What can a quantity surveyor do with Caprix AI?

Look up Malaysian unit rates, produce elemental estimates, chart the Tender Price Index, draft and price SMM2 Bills of Quantities, check and compare them, track addenda and variation orders, and get guidance on contract questions, all in one workspace.

Does Caprix do quantity take-off?

No. Caprix does not measure quantities from drawings or models. It drafts the bill structure and wording, prices the items and checks the result. Measurement stays with you.

Can I compare two tenders or projects?

Yes. Compare takes two to five saved projects, puts them on a common footing in time and location, and explains the gap line by line. It starts at 10 credits for two projects, plus 5 for each extra one, on every plan.

Can a whole QS team use one account?

Yes, with a Corporate account. Every member gets the company's plan, credits are held as a shared pool or per seat, projects can be shared and edited together live, and the team shares a Company Library of rates. Corporate accounts are arranged with us directly.

Is the data specific to Malaysia?

Yes. Every skill draws on Malaysian material, labour and machinery rates and indices, covering all 13 states and the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur on Pro and Max.

Is it free to try?

Yes. The free plan gives you 50 credits that reset every month, with no credit card. See plans →
