BuildCost AI - Philippine Construction Cost Estimator & Bill of Materials (BOM) Platform
An enterprise engineering software platform by JonavTech for general contractors, civil engineers, architects, and estimators.
Automated Architectural & Structural Plan Takeoff
BuildCost AI automates the extraction of quantities, structural volumes, rebar schedules, and finishes from architectural PDF blueprints. Our intelligent calculation engine references standard Philippine construction metrics aligned with the National Building Code of the Philippines (PD 1096) and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) standard specifications.
- Concrete & Formwork: Compute slab, beam, column, and foundation cubic meter volume with Class A, B, and C standard mix ratios.
- Rebar & Structural Steel: Automated computation of deformed steel bars (10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm), tie wire kilograms, and lap splice allowances.
- Masonry & CHB Walls: Precise calculation of 4" and 6" Concrete Hollow Blocks, mortar bags, sand volume, and horizontal/vertical rebar reinforcement.
- MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing): Complete floor-by-floor schedule of conduits, wires, panel boards, PVC pipes, and sanitary fixtures.
- Finishes & Thermal Enclosures: Tiling square meterage, ceiling boards, drywalls, interior/exterior paint coverage, and waterproofing coats.
Standardized Philippine Construction Calculators & Engineering Hub
Access our suite of public construction engineering estimators calibrated to Philippine National Standards (PNS 49) and DPWH Item 405 specifications:
- Concrete & Aggregates Mix Calculator: Class AA, A, B, and C volumetric batching ratios, 40kg cement bags, sand m³, gravel m³, and water requirement.
- CHB Masonry & Plastering Estimator: 4" & 6" concrete hollow blocks, 12.5 blocks/m², laying cement mortar, and 16mm surface plastering.
- Rebar Weight & Tie Wire Calculator: PNS 49 deformed steel bars (10mm to 36mm), linear meters to kg/metric tons, and #16 G.I. tie wire.
- Roofing & Purlins Estimator: Sloped surface area, rib-type longspan sheets, tile-span roofing, ridge rolls, tek screws, and C-purlins.
- Paint & Finishes Coverage Calculator: 3-coat paint systems, primer/sealer, skimcoat putty, and topcoats for concrete, drywall, and wood.
- Philippine Construction Cost Per SQM Index (2026): Regional pricing benchmarks across NCR, Calabarzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
