Features may change, may not yet be generally available and are not guaranteed. AI-assisted outputs require appropriate professional review and verification.
The platform
Every tool the build chain needs. One platform.
Prodion.ai brings intelligent construction workflows together through a modular technology platform — applying AI and structured construction data to assist professionals across measurement, cost, tender, procurement and project workflows.
For Owners and Developers
From early feasibility to controlled project delivery.
Prodion.ai gives property owners and developers a structured view of scope, quantities, cost, procurement, progress and risk. QaaS — Quantity Surveyor as a Service — connects project information across the development lifecycle while preserving the professional judgement, approvals and audit trail required for responsible delivery.
Feasibility and Investment
Test development options before committing capital. Compare scope, area, cost, programme, procurement and commercial scenarios using traceable assumptions.
- Project and site brief
- Area and yield analysis
- Preliminary cost planning
- Development scenarios
- Risk and sensitivity review
- Feasibility decision record
Design and Procurement
Convert drawings, specifications and schedules into structured project information suitable for measurement, cost planning and tender preparation.
- Drawing and revision register
- Measurement and take-off
- Bills of quantities
- Cost-plan development
- Tender documentation
- Bid comparison and recommendation
Construction Control
Give owners and project teams a consistent view of approved scope, expenditure, progress, changes and forecast outcomes.
- Budget and commitment tracking
- Progress measurement
- Variations and change control
- Payment assessment
- Cost-to-complete forecasting
- Decision and approval history
Completion and Handover
Close the project with a traceable commercial and information record that can support operations, maintenance and future development decisions.
- Final account
- Completion reporting
- Handover records
- Asset information
- Lessons learned
- Project audit trail
One controlled information flow. Different professional views.
Owner / Developer
Feasibility, investment decisions, budget governance, approvals, progress and forecast outcomes.
Quantity Surveyor
Measurement, cost planning, bills of quantities, tender analysis, valuations and final accounts.
Principal Agent and Consultants
Coordinated scope, drawings, decisions, changes, responsibilities and delivery evidence.
Contractor and Supply Chain
Clear tender information, measurable work packages, progress records and controlled commercial submissions.
Professional judgement remains in control.
Prodion.ai and QaaS assist construction professionals by organising information, highlighting inconsistencies and supporting repeatable workflows. They do not replace registered professional services, statutory approvals, engineering design or contractual judgement. Quantities, costs, programmes and AI-generated outputs remain subject to project-specific professional review and approval.
Tell us where your project currently stands — concept, feasibility, design, tender, construction or completion — and we will discuss the appropriate starting point.
QaaS — Quantity Surveyor as a Service
The AI engine at the heart of Prodion.ai.
QaaS — Quantity Surveyor as a Service (QS AI) — is Prodion.ai's construction intelligence engine. It applies domain-specific AI and structured construction logic designed around South African built-environment workflows. It handles the hard, domain-specific work: reading drawings, extracting quantities, structuring measurement data, and producing BOQ outputs ready for professional review. QaaS is what makes Prodion.ai construction-specific rather than generic.
QaaS is the tricky part. It applies AI to the structured, rules-bound world of construction measurement — where a generic language model is not enough. The QaaS engine understands trade sections, measurement conventions, rate libraries, and the professional workflows that govern how quantities are prepared and verified in South Africa.
Drawing interpretation
Designed to read architectural and engineering drawings — plans, sections, elevations — and assist in extracting measurable quantities by trade and element. Development capability; outputs require professional review.
Structured BOQ output
Intended to produce bills of quantities structured to support South African measurement workflows, with trade sections and measurement data organised for professional review and verification.
Rate library intelligence
Designed to assist with pricing patterns across project types, regions and CIDB grades — suggesting rates and flagging outliers for professional consideration. Rates require professional verification before use.
Scope document analysis
Designed to assist in analysing specifications, scope documents and contract data to identify measurable items, exclusions and provisional sums. Professional review required.
Tender return comparison
Designed to assist in comparing multiple tender returns item by item — flagging scope gaps, outliers and pricing anomalies for professional review and decision.
Professional verification layer
Every QaaS output is structured for professional sign-off. The AI assists; the registered professional verifies, adjusts and takes responsibility for all outputs.
QaaS powers every role on the platform.
The same AI engine — applied differently for quantity surveyors, main contractors and subcontractors. See how below.
