This is a remote position.
PlanMyPlot is an online architectural design company helping homeowners across India turn a plot into a dream home — 2D floor plans, elevations, structural design, and working drawings, delivered entirely remotely, backed by AI-driven client engagement and a fast, transparent process. We're a lean, fast-moving founding team building a category-defining home-design brand. Every hire here has real ownership and a direct hand in shaping how we work.
How we work: 100% remote, from anywhere in India. We don't police hours — we care about outcomes. Every role has clear, visible KPIs tracked in our systems, and your growth (and pay) is tied directly to what you deliver, not how long you're logged in.
About the role
Every accurate construction estimate starts with a precise Bill of Quantities — and that's your domain. You'll take finished architectural and structural drawings and translate them into detailed, reliable BOQs that give our clients (and our internal pricing) an honest picture of material and cost requirements. This role is central to trust: a wrong BOQ costs a client real money down the line, so we need someone meticulous, methodical, and unwilling to cut corners on accuracy.
What you'll do day to day
- Prepare detailed Bills of Quantities from approved architectural and structural drawings
- Estimate material quantities and costs across all major work categories (civil, finishing, MEP)
- Maintain and regularly update our internal rate database to reflect current material/labour costs
- Cross-check BOQs against drawings for completeness before they go to the client
- Flag any scope changes during a project that affect quantities or cost, and update BOQs accordingly
- Support the pricing team with accurate cost inputs for working-drawing-stage deliverables
- Maintain clear documentation and audit trail for every BOQ produced
Requirements
What you need (must-have)
- Diploma or B.E. in Civil Engineering
- 2+ years of hands-on BOQ / quantity surveying experience

Nice to have
- Experience working across multiple residential project types (villas, apartments, independent homes)
- Familiarity with current regional material and labour rate trends
- Exposure to rate analysis and cost estimation software beyond CostX
