Back to overview/Estimation & BOQ

From estimate to execution.

A structured BOQ with material, labour, equipment and subcontract build-up per line — feeding budget, procurement, execution, progress, billing and cost control from one place.

The problem

In most contracting companies the BOQ exists in three versions: the tender spreadsheet, the budget the finance team rebuilt, and the measurement sheet the QS maintains for valuations. None of the three agrees with the others.

Every reconciliation between them is where a variation goes unclaimed, a quantity is billed twice, or a margin erodes without anyone noticing.

Core workflow

One BOQ, six consumers.

01
BOQ hierarchy
Sections, subsections, activities and items.
02
Rate build-up
Material, labour, equipment and subcontract per item.
03
Budget
The awarded BOQ becomes the cost budget by cost code.
04
Procurement
Material requirement generated from BOQ quantities.
05
Execution & progress
Executed quantity booked against the BOQ line.
06
Billing
Certified quantity drives the valuation and the invoice.
