About the Course
AutoCAD for Accurate Quantity Take‑Off & BOQ Preparation is a practical, workflow‑focused training program developed by GIQS for professionals working with construction drawings for measurement, estimation, and cost control.
This course is designed for Quantity Surveyors, Engineers, Estimators, and Construction Professionals who use AutoCAD drawings as the foundation for quantity take‑off and BOQ preparation, and who want to improve accuracy, efficiency, and confidence in their work.
Rather than teaching AutoCAD as a drafting‑only tool, this course focuses on using AutoCAD correctly for measurement and quantity extraction. You will learn how hidden drawing issues—such as duplicate objects, overlaps, and improper selection—can lead to serious quantity errors if not addressed correctly.
The training emphasizes real‑world workflows, demonstrating how experienced professionals review, clean, verify, and measure drawings before relying on automated counts or LISP‑based calculations. The goal is not just speed, but reliable, BOQ‑ready output.
Whether you are transitioning from manual measurement methods or already working with AutoCAD and looking to improve accuracy in professional projects, this course provides structured, step‑by‑step guidance that can be applied immediately to live drawings.
What You’ll Gain from This Course
By completing this course, you will be able to:
Work confidently with AutoCAD drawings intended for quantity take‑off
Identify and eliminate hidden drawing errors before measurement
Apply professional workflows for accurate counting and measurement
Extract reliable quantities for BOQ preparation
Improve speed without sacrificing accuracy
Reduce rework, mismatches, and commercial risks
Produce cleaner, verification‑ready drawings for professional use
Who This Course Is For
This course is ideal for:
Quantity Surveyors (students to experienced professionals)
Estimators and Cost Engineers
Civil, MEP, and Architectural Engineers
Site Engineers involved in measurement and take‑off
Professionals transitioning from manual to digital quantity take‑off
Anyone seeking accuracy, consistency, and confidence in AutoCAD‑based measurement
Why This Course?
In today’s construction environment, accurate digital measurement is critical. Small drawing errors can lead to large cost impacts, rejected BOQs, and loss of professional credibility.
This course is purpose‑built by GIQS for professionals who want to use AutoCAD with discipline and accuracy, focusing only on techniques that deliver real value in everyday project work.
If your goal is to move beyond basic drafting and use AutoCAD as a reliable tool for quantity take‑off and BOQ preparation, this course provides the knowledge, workflows, and best practices required to do so with confidence.
Take the next step in your professional development with GIQS, and strengthen the way you review, measure, and trust your AutoCAD drawings.
