Six surfaces. One spine.

Each surface below is a working part of the console, not a module you buy separately. They share one record: the BOQ line. Follow the chain in order on the workflow page, or read any one on its own here.

The bill of quantities, as your system of record

Import the spreadsheet you already price with, or build the BOQ by section in the console. Codes, descriptions, units and quantities stay exactly as you wrote them — and every one of them becomes an address that a quotation, an order and a receipt can point at.

Sections and sub-items
Divisions, packages and numbered items — reordered by drag, not by re-typing.
Dates on the line
Purchase date and an RFQ lead time per item, so sourcing is scheduled, not remembered.
Versions and amendments
Save the version you quoted; amend an awarded BOQ without losing the history behind it.

One line holds your cost and their price

Margin is a property of the item, not a separate document. Set it per line where the risk sits, or apply one percentage across the BOQ and override the exceptions. The client total updates as you go, and the expected cost you'll later be measured against is set at the same moment.

Rolls up by section
See which division carries the value before you decide where to negotiate.
Client-ready in one action
Export the priced BOQ to PDF, or send it to admin for approval, from the same record.
Becomes the baseline
Every later commitment is compared against this number, per line, automatically.
4.3 — RFQ MANAGEMENT See it in the workflow →

Same scope to every supplier, tracked to the reply

An RFQ is a selection of BOQ lines plus a supplier list and a closing date. No re-cutting, no attachment that drifts. The RFQ carries its own status — draft, sent, replied, awarded — and an overdue one is flagged on the project rather than sitting in someone's sent folder.

Grouped by category
Electrical, plumbing, tiling and paints in one request, or split per trade.
Supplier register
Delivery days, payment terms and quotation validity captured per supplier — comparable later.
Expected value up front
You know what the requested scope should cost before a single reply arrives.

4.4 — QUOTATION COMPARISON See it in the workflow →

Comparison is a read, not a rebuild

Because every reply came back against the lines you sent, the table assembles itself. Totals sit against the expected budget, partial quotations are marked so you don't mistake a cheap subset for a cheap bid, and the best compliant price per line is highlighted.

Award whole, or per line
Split a package across suppliers and keep each award tied to its BOQ line.
Deviation, not just price
Delivery days, credit terms and validity sit next to the number.
Audit trail on the award
Who awarded what, when, and against which quotation version.

The award becomes the order

No re-keying between the quotation you accepted and the order you send. Quantities, rates and terms carry over, the PO gets a status you can read at a glance, and Finance records the supplier invoice against the same record the site is receiving into.

Status you can trust
Draft, issued, partially received, received, closed — driven by receipts, not by someone updating a column.
Invoice recorded against it
The supplier invoice sits on the PO, so committed and paid don't need reconciling later.
Export for finance
A clean PDF from the live record — not a copy someone made on Thursday.
4.6 — GOODS RECEIPT & COST CONTROL See it in the workflow →

What arrived, on the line it belongs to

Site records each delivery against the PO. The moment a receipt is confirmed, actual cost and remaining quantity update on the BOQ line — so received, ordered and still to procure are current, and a line that has gone over its expected cost says so.

Partial and repeat deliveries
Three receipts against one order is normal; the balance stays open until it isn't.
Reversible, with a trail
A wrong receipt is reversed, not deleted — who and when are kept.
Timeline, quantity, cost
The whole BOQ, tracked over time: what's committed, what's landed, what's left.

Included on every plan

Not add-ons. These are the parts that make the six surfaces above usable by more than one person.

Roles & approvals

Estimator, procurement, site and finance each see the part of the chain they own. Send to admin, approve, record.

Exceptions on the header

Overdue RFQs, partial receipts and over-committed lines surface on the project, not in an inbox.

Supplier register

Terms, delivery days, quotation validity and history per supplier — reusable on the next RFQ.

PDF exports

Priced BOQ for the client, purchase order for finance — generated from the live record.

Versions & audit trail

Every award, receipt and reversal attributed and timestamped. Amend without losing history.

Excel import

Start from the BOQ you already have. No data-entry project, no consultants.

Start with one package

Free trial, your own BOQ, no card. Import it, run one RFQ, and see the chain close on a line you know.
