Who it is for
Quantity surveyors producing bills of quantities for civil engineering works.
CivilQuants
Civil engineering take-off to CESMM4, NRM2, SMM7 and MMHW
Overview
What CivilQuants does
CivilQuants turns parametric inputs into audit-traceable bills of quantities for civil engineering assemblies, covering culverts, manholes, retaining walls, pavements, drainage and earthworks across four UK measurement standards: CESMM4, NRM2, SMM7 and MMHW.
Traceability is the claim that matters in this work, since every quantity traces back to the formula that produced it, which is what makes a take-off defensible. Output exports to Excel, DXF and PDF. Beyond the calculators, paid subscribers get ten senior quantity surveyor methodology prompts covering tender review, risk assessment and geotechnical interpretation, run against their own documents. Six assemblies are free.
Tool surface
Fifty-six tools answered against fifty-three claimed, and they are almost all calculators: compute_manhole, compute_box_culvert, compute_pipe_bedding and compute_french_drain among them, one per assembly type.
Availability
Where CivilQuants is listed
CivilQuants is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Ember Forge Pte Ltd has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
CivilQuants publishes 53 tools to Claude, a deeper surface than 91.5% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors, the top decile.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Productivity publishes 12, so this one runs 41 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 39th of 462 by tool count.
It falls in the 51+ tools band, which holds 9.6% of the Claude directory.
Measured against the live endpoint
A direct call to the endpoint returned 56 tools, 3 more than the 53 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07.

CivilQuants publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

CivilQuants is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality.
In the publisher's words
How Ember Forge Pte Ltd describes it
CivilQuants turns parametric inputs into audit-traceable Bills of Quantities for civil engineering assemblies — culverts, manholes, retaining walls, pavements, drainage, earthworks — across four UK measurement standards (CESMM4, NRM2, SMM7, MMHW). Every quantity traces back to its formula, and you can export to Excel, DXF and PDF. Beyond the 46 calculators, paid subscribers get ten senior-QS methodology prompts — tender review, risk assessment, measurement and contract advice, geotechnical interpretation and more — run against your own documents. Six assemblies are free; built by a working quantity surveyor.
