CONSTRUCTION INTELLIGENCE / NRM QUANTITY SURVEYING
Send us your plan set. Mirage extracts and measures quantities into an NRM2-structured bill, every line traced to its source drawing, in 48 hours.
Would be Mirage's first UK NRM deployment, built on the same quantity-extraction agents already running at OCBM and John Cockerill.
THE REALITY
Measuring a plan set by hand against NRM2 rules, sheet by sheet, is slow and leaves quantities disconnected from the drawing they came from. When a revision lands, re-measuring from scratch is the default, and a stale quantity in the bill is rarely caught before it affects a cost plan.
WHAT MIRAGE DOES
01
PDF, DWG, or scanned drawings: Mirage reads the plan set and measures against NRM2 rules automatically, without a reformatting pass first.
02
Each measured quantity is linked to the exact sheet and revision it came from, so a re-measure after a revision flags what actually changed instead of silently overwriting the previous figure.
03
The structured bill exports in your working format, ready for your QS to apply rates, or connects to the document management and BIM tools already in place.
THE OUTPUT
| Item | Description | Quantity | Unit | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.1.3 | In-situ concrete, ground floor slab | 310 | m³ | Sheet ST-02, rev C |
| 3.4.1 | Structural steel frame, universal beams | 22 | t | Sheet ST-08, rev B |
| 5.2.2↳ Sheet AR-11 revision D shows 1,240 m² of internal blockwork against 1,190 m² in the prior revision. Flagged for QS confirmation before the bill is finalised. | Blockwork, internal partitions | 1,240 | m² | Sheet AR-11, rev D |
| 8.1.4 | External wall insulation system | 680 | m² | Sheet AR-19, rev A |

FAQ
Not on an NRM-structured bill specifically -- this would be Mirage's first UK NRM deployment. The quantity-extraction agents involved are the same ones already running in production at OCBM and John Cockerill, applied here to NRM2 measurement rules rather than a different market's bill format.
Primarily NRM2 (detailed measurement for building works, the format most cost plans and bills of quantities are built from). NRM1 order-of-cost estimates and NRM3 maintenance works measurement are read the same way once a project's rule set is confirmed with your team.
No. Mirage extracts and structures quantities from the plan set into NRM-compliant measurement; your QS still applies rates, judgement, and sign-off. It removes the manual measurement pass, not the professional decisions built on top of it.
Every quantity is linked to the specific sheet and revision it came from. When a new revision comes in, the bill is re-measured and any changed quantity is flagged against the previous figure, rather than silently overwritten.
PDF, DWG, and scanned drawings are all read the same way -- the measurement rules applied don't depend on the source file format.
Yes. The structured bill exports in your working format, or connects to the document management and BIM tools already in place on the project. No new system for the QS team to learn.
Under four weeks on average to a production deployment: indexing your measurement rules and drawing conventions first, then a parallel pilot on one active project's bill of quantities.
Pricing starts with a fixed-price pilot measured against one active project's plan set, so you see the bill it produces before committing to anything larger. After that, it moves to an annual subscription priced by volume, quoted in your first conversation with us.
