BOQ 1: From takeoff to Bill of Quantities

The BOQ is the measured list of what will be built. It stays linked to the takeoffs it came from, so a change on the plan updates the quantity.

How to

  1. 1

    Measure on the plans

    Every takeoff you measure is added to the BOQ automatically, with its category, page and description.

  2. 2

    Review the grouped items

    Check quantities grouped by category or page, and tidy descriptions and units before pricing.

  3. 3

    Add dimensions and wastage

    Enter Width, Height, Depth or Thickness for a calculated quantity, and a Wastage % for the net quantity to order.

  4. 4

    Keep it linked

    Adjust a measurement on the plan and its BOQ quantity updates; nothing is copied by hand.
