BOQ Builder
Every revision, accounted for.
Most bills of quantities live in Excel, and every revision means a new file, a new total and a new chance for a mistake to slip through. BOQ Builder keeps the whole history in one place.
Import the spreadsheet your team already uses. Switch a make and every rate and total follows. Save a revision and the changes are highlighted for you, with a short summary of what moved and by how much. When it is ready, send the client a clean PDF.

In development
BOQ Builder is being built alongside a fire-safety consultancy, using their own project files. It is designed to plug into Vertex ERP, so an approved BOQ can become a live project budget.

Change quantities and makes; totals follow.

Send
Share a clean PDF with the client.
Questions, answered.
Do we have to change our Excel format?
No. BOQ Builder is built around the spreadsheet layouts teams already use, so there is nothing to retype.
Can we see what changed between two revisions?
Yes. Pick two revisions and the added, removed and changed lines are highlighted, with a summary of how the total moved.
Does it work with Vertex ERP?
It is designed to. An approved BOQ can flow into Vertex as the project budget, so estimated and actual costs sit side by side.
Can we use it now?
It is in development with a first consultancy. If your team lives in BOQ spreadsheets, we would love to show you where it is heading.
