AI savings calculator for Civil Engineering

A civil engineer running two active projects at once can spend 30 to 50 hours a month just drafting technical documentation. This calculator puts an exact number on that figure, calculated with your own data.

The Excel file includes six specific tasks: design and justification report, technical specifications for the tender documents, responses to public-body requirements, monthly site progress report, project constraint sheet, and documentation of site non-conformances. Each one carries an hour benchmark with and without AI support.

You just need to enter your hourly rate and adjust how many times a month you repeat each task. The sheet automatically calculates the hours you'd recover each month and their equivalent in euros, projected to a year as well.

Of the six tasks, responding to a public-body requirement leaves the least room for error: you have to cite the exact clause in the tender documents or the figure in the report that applies, and a wrong citation stands out in front of a public administration. In Bloqbase the project's report and technical specifications live where the original document was drafted, so the response starts from citing what's already written instead of reconstructing it from memory.

Download the Excel file free with your email and run the numbers with your own rates, or get in touch if you want to review the result against your real project volume.

How to put it to work on a real project

The idea isn't to download another file and forget it in a folder. Use it with a specific case: a pending certificate, a coordination meeting, a cost overrun or a handover to the developer. Fill in the resource with real data from your project, validate the result with your own technical judgment, and keep it as an internal reference to repeat the process next time.
