Match BIM quantities to CWICR work items. Map element categories to cost codes, validate quantities, and generate cost-linked QTOs.

BIM exports contain quantities but:
Intelligent matching of BIM element quantities to CWICR work items using category mapping, semantic matching, and rule-based assignment.
