The number is the product
A BOQ is not software. It is a priced, signed, auditable number that a contractor commits money to. We sign the number. That is what you are buying.
The company
An Ethiopian AEC technology company. We measure buildings for a living and build the tools that do the measuring.
Who we are
Paras Partners PLC builds BIM automation tools and provides quantity takeoff services for contractors, QS firms and developers — in Ethiopia and internationally.
The company was founded by Hagos Aman. The technical side is led in-house, and the combination it needs barely exists here: Revit API development in C#, Python automation, AI tooling (MCP servers for Claude and Cursor), and the QS domain knowledge that makes any of it worth anything — Ethiopian construction conventions and local cost data that cannot be vibe-coded or copied from GitHub.
We are the company behind Paracore, an open-source dynamic C# scripting platform for Revit. Paracore lets you run C# live inside Revit with no project files, no compilation and no boilerplate, and build parameterised automation tools on top of it. It is MIT licensed and freely available on GitHub.
The platform is free because the platform is not the product. The number is.
What we believe
A BOQ is not software. It is a priced, signed, auditable number that a contractor commits money to. We sign the number. That is what you are buying.
HCB 100/150/200, DWA assemblies, Ethiopian material naming, Addis Ababa cost data. This knowledge is in the engine and in our heads — not in a model someone can download.
The platform is free and open source. We sell the work and the training built on top of it — not access to the platform itself.
The ecosystem
Open-source components, each doing one job. All MIT licensed, all on GitHub.
Every component is MIT licensed on GitHub. We own the platform and sell the expertise — the other way round never works here.
