Civilquants
Generate parametric civil-engineering estimates and Bills of Quantities aligned to CESMM4, NRM2, SMM7, and MMHW while scoping tenders or validation-phase cost models.
Overview
CivilQuants is an MCP server for the Validate phase that runs a parametric estimating engine producing CESMM4/NRM2/SMM7/MMHW Bills of Quantities for civil assemblies.
What is this MCP server?
- Parametric estimating engine for civils assemblies
- Bills of Quantities aligned to CESMM4, NRM2, SMM7, and MMHW
- Hosted MCP at api.civilquants.com/mcp (streamable HTTP)
- Catalog version 0.0.1 — API-first quantity surveying assistant
- Supports CESMM4, NRM2, SMM7, and MMHW BOQ methods
- Remote endpoint: api.civilquants.com/mcp
What problem does it solve?
Builders in construction tech struggle to scope accurate civils quantities and standard-method BOQs without deep QS tooling inside the agent loop.
Who is it for?
Indie devs or small teams building construction estimating, tendering, or civils SaaS who need standards-based BOQ generation via MCP during scope work.
Skip if: General-purpose SaaS founders with no civils, highways, or quantity-surveying domain requirements.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can request parametric assembly estimates and BOQ structures so you can validate cost scope and tender assumptions faster.
- Parametric civils assembly estimates
- Structured Bills of Quantities for scoped work packages
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Quantity surveying and BOQ output support Validate when you are sizing cost, scope, and feasibility before full build—not when you are operating production monitoring. Scope fits because parametric assemblies and standard-method BOQs help define what work packages and quantities belong in the project before implementation.
How it compares
Domain-specific BOQ estimating MCP, not a generic spreadsheet plugin or a frontend UI component library.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is CivilQuants for?
Developers and product people in construction or civils who want MCP-driven parametric estimates tied to CESMM4, NRM2, SMM7, and MMHW conventions.
When should I use CivilQuants?
Use it during Validate when you are defining project scope, tender quantities, or pricing models and need agent-accessible BOQ logic before you build the full product UI.
How do I add CivilQuants to my agent?
Configure the remote MCP endpoint https://api.civilquants.com/mcp as streamable HTTP in your MCP client and follow CivilQuants API access requirements from their docs.
