BOQ Studio: From Bill of Quantities to Approved Work Orders

Prepare accurate BOQs, create professional quotations, manage approvals and issue vendor-wise work orders from one controlled workspace.

One structured workflow

Replace fragmented BOQ processes with one structured workflow.

Every project keeps its BOQ lines, quotation status, drawings, approval activity and vendor work orders together, giving preparation teams and managers a shared view of commercial progress.

Prepare BOQ → Send Quotation → Manager Approval → Issue Work Orders

Key features

Complete commercial workflow management in one workspace.

Structured BOQ Preparation

Build detailed Bills of Quantities using predefined item names, item codes, trade categories, units, rates and preferred vendors. Quantity and selling-rate fields remain easy to edit while the platform calculates line amounts and project totals automatically.

Central Item Master

Maintain frequently used materials, services and commercial items in one searchable master. Standardized names and predefined rates reduce repetitive entry and improve consistency across estimates.

Vendor Master and Trade Categories

Organize vendors by trade, contact details and preferred scope. Assign each BOQ line to the most suitable vendor while retaining a clear view of the vendor responsible for delivery.

Excel BOQ Import

Bring existing estimates into the system using a compatible Excel structure with Code, Item, Category, Quantity, Unit, Rate and Vendor columns.

Drawing and Attachment Support

Keep technical drawings and project files with the relevant project. Supported uploads can include PDF drawings, common image formats and CAD-related files, subject to the configured file-size limit.

Inline Feasibility and Readiness Checks

Before submission, BOQ Studio checks whether required quantities, rates, vendors and drawings are available. Issues appear beside the relevant field for correction.

Professional Client Quotations

Convert BOQ lines into a client-facing quotation with project information, item descriptions, quantities, rates, discount, total value, commercial terms and acceptance details.

Vendor-Wise Work Order Consolidation

After quotation approval, BOQ Studio groups line items by vendor and prepares one consolidated work order for each vendor.

Approval History and Audit Trail

Track document submission, approval, return, recall and edit activity with the actor, timestamp and comment.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is BOQ software?

BOQ software helps teams create and manage a Bill of Quantities: an itemized list of materials, services, quantities, units and prices required for a project. BOQ Studio extends this process by connecting the BOQ to quotation approval and vendor work order generation.

Can BOQ Studio import Excel files?

Yes. Teams can import BOQ data using the supported columns Code, Item, Category, Quantity, Unit, Rate and Vendor. A downloadable Excel template helps users prepare compatible files.

Does BOQ Studio support multiple projects?

Yes. Users can create and switch between independent projects. Each project stores its own BOQ, customer details, attachments, quotation, approval history and work orders.

How does the approval process work?

The project team prepares and submits a quotation. A manager reviews the document and can approve it or return it with a mandatory comment. Work orders generated after quotation approval follow a similar review process.

How are work orders created from a BOQ?

After the quotation is approved, BOQ Studio groups all approved line items by their selected vendor. It creates one consolidated work order per vendor, containing all items allocated to that vendor.

Can BOQ Studio generate PDF and Word documents?

Yes. The platform supports professional quotation PDF output and vendor work order documents. Approved work orders can be generated in PDF and Word formats.

Does the quotation include tax?

No. The current BOQ Studio workflow prepares tax-free quotations and does not calculate GST or other taxes automatically.

Can BOQ Studio integrate with ERP or accounting software?

External ERP and accounting integrations are not part of the current MVP. They can be evaluated as an implementation requirement based on the target system, required data flow and approval controls.
