Metrrik: Your Co-Pilot for Construction Intelligence

Metrrik is an AI-native platform designed to serve as an intelligent co-pilot for Quantity Surveyors, contractors, and builders. It streamlines the creation of essential construction documentation, from preliminary estimates to detailed Bills of Quantities (BQs), by leveraging the power of the Google Gemini API.

Key Features

• AI-Powered Chat: Engage in a natural conversation with an AI assistant to get quick cost estimates, draft proposals, and get answers to complex construction-related questions.
• Intelligent Document Generation: Effortlessly create professional documents like Proposals, BQ Drafts, and Site Reports using AI prompts or pre-defined templates.
• Floor Plan Analysis: Upload architectural drawings (images/PDFs) and have the AI automatically analyze them to generate a detailed and editable Bill of Quantities.
• Interactive BQ Editor: Fine-tune AI-generated BQs. The editor provides visual feedback by highlighting corresponding elements directly on the uploaded floor plan.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Because this is a simple static application using ES modules, you need a local server to handle requests correctly.

1. Start a local server: The easiest way is to use the serve package. If you don't have it installed globally, you can run it with npx.

   npx serve

2. Open the app: The server will start and give you a local URL, typically http://localhost:3000. Open this URL in your web browser.

   You should now see the Metrrik landing page!
