RFQ-to-quote software for fabrication estimators
Collect RFQ files, review CAD drawings and BOMs, prepare estimates against your shop rates, and issue reviewed quotes from one local workspace.
RFQ email triage inside the app
Connect your email (Gmail & Outlook) to browse and preview incoming RFQ emails, download drawing packages, and start project estimation without switching apps.
Review CAD drawings, BIM models, and specs side-by-side
Review fabrication RFQs, glazing elevations, HVAC drawings, quantity-surveying takeoffs, and structural steel tenders with PDF sheets, AutoCAD DWG/DXF drawings, 3D CAD models (STEP/IGES), and BIM files (IFC) beside your estimate. Rotate, zoom, and inspect details directly next to your pricing sheet.
On-device AI structures your takeoff draft
Run Kwantflow AI on your machine to parse supported drawing metadata, draft structured line items, and map parts to your rate books for estimator or quantity-surveyor review.
Connect rates and cost structures
Manage cost presets, material rate books, labour rates, and equipment overheads. Import sheets from Excel or CSV and link them to your supplier and company directory.
Your drawings, rates, and margins stay local
All estimate calculations, proprietary margin models, customer histories, and sensitive drawing attachments live securely in a local database on your hard drive.
Complete revision history of estimate changes
Automatically record every quantity edit, rate override, markup change, and model suggestion in a secure, human-readable audit log.
Quote faster without hiring another estimator
Streamline quote preparation by turning messy RFQ emails, drawings, and spreadsheet rate sheets into reviewed drafts under your control.
AI monitors your inbox to automatically triage and queue incoming RFQs.
Automatically download attachments and structure your local project workspace.
Parse drawings, BOMs, and spreadsheets locally into a reviewable line-item estimate.
