Getting started

Go to buildgets.com and start with the free BC3 conversion tool by dragging in a .bc3 file to see chapters and line items instantly. To build budgets from scratch, use BuildGets PDF (upload a PDF budget and the AI detects line-item tables, chapters and prices to produce a clean Excel or BC3 file) or BuildGets CAD/IFC (upload DXF, vector PDF or IFC and the AI identifies building elements, proposing line items with quantity takeoffs). Sign up for free to save your price database and project history, and use the mobile app to generate budgets by voice on site.

Use cases

Digitize paper or PDF budgets
Upload a scanned or PDF budget and the AI converts it into a clean Excel file or an editable BC3, automatically detecting chapters, line items and prices.
Budget on site by voice
From the mobile app, you describe the work by voice or text and BuildGets generates a structured budget in seconds, which is useful for site visits.
Extract quantity takeoffs from CAD/IFC drawings
Upload DXF files, vector PDFs or IFC files; the AI analyzes the geometry, identifies building elements and proposes line items with their quantity takeoffs.

Advanced setup

  1. Custom price database
    Registered users can upload their own price database so the generated budgets use the firm's or contractor's usual rates.
  2. Presto/Arquímedes-compatible export
    Budgets are exported in the standard BC3 format, compatible with the most widely used budget management software in Spain.

Tips

  • Try the BC3 conversion without signing up before deciding whether it's worth creating an account.
  • Upload the PDF in the best quality you can: the cleaner the tables, the better the AI detects chapters and line items.
  • Use the mobile app on site so you don't waste time writing up notes afterward.
