CONSTRUCTION DATA AUTOMATION

Manual Quantity Takeoff Is Dead. I Built The Replacement.

IFC files in. Validated BOQ reports out. In 24 hours.

Who Builds This

I'm Shabir Ahmad — a Construction Data Automation Engineer admitted to Bauhaus University Weimar, Germany. I combine IFC/BIM domain knowledge with Python automation and engineering logic to build tools that the AEC industry actually needs. My focus is the automation layer between BIM models and actionable construction data. I am not a generic software developer. I process the data that comes out of BIM workflows and turn it into validated, client-ready reports.

Domain-driven engineer. Not a generalist.

Every IFC model has data quality problems. Most engineers never find them. They show up later — in wrong quantities, inflated costs, and failed audits.

Misclassified Elements

Footings read as slabs. Roof slabs counted as floors. Your BOQ is wrong before you even open Excel.

No Data Source Audit

You don't know if a quantity came from BaseQuantities, a Pset, or a geometric fallback. Neither does your QS.

Manual Extraction Is Slow

Hours spent on quantity takeoff that could be done in minutes — with full validation, automatically.

StructBOQ — IFC Processing Engine

StructBOQ reads your IFC file directly — exported from Revit, ArchiCAD, or Tekla — and extracts validated construction quantities with a full data source audit per element. Every quantity is traced back to its source: BaseQuantities, Pset properties, or geometric fallback. Every suspicious element is flagged with severity level, confidence percentage, and a suggested fix. Output: Excel BOQ + Narrative PDF validation report. Delivered in 24 hours.

BEFORE

Manual BOQ

No audit trail. No data source. No validation. Just numbers.

AFTER

StructBOQ Output

Every element traced. Every anomaly flagged. Client-ready in 24 hours.

Three Things I Do. All Connected.

01.

IFC → Validated BOQ Reports

I process your IFC file and return a validated Bill of Quantities with a full data source audit. Every element is classified, checked for anomalies, and reported with severity levels. Excel + PDF output.

02.

BIM Data Automation Scripts

Custom Python scripts that automate repetitive BIM data workflows — quantity extraction, classification checking, report generation, data export pipelines. Built specifically for your software stack.

03.

Engineering Data Dashboards

Streamlit-based dashboards that turn raw construction data into live visual reports. For project tracking, cost monitoring, quantity visualization, and decision-making during design and construction.

Other Tools

These exist to show range. StructBOQ is the main service.

RC Column Design Tool

ACI-based reinforced concrete column design tool with P-M interaction diagrams, slenderness checks, and load classification. PDF report output.
