BOQ

BOQ & Project Cost Management Software for EPC & Construction

BOQ Studio helps EPC and construction businesses manage project BOQs, estimate costs, plan procurement, track project progress and connect executed work with RA billing.

Manage the complete flow from BOQ to Budget, Procurement, Execution, Measurement and Billing in one system.

Is Your Project BOQ Still Managed Across Excel and Separate Systems?

When BOQs, estimates, procurement and billing are managed separately, it becomes difficult to know the actual position of a project.

01

Estimates Are Re-entered After Project Award

Project estimates are prepared in Excel and entered again into the ERP or project system.

02

Procurement Is Not Linked to the BOQ

Teams cannot easily see what has been required, ordered, received or used against the project.

03

BOQ Changes Are Hard to Track

Changes in quantities or scope can affect project cost, procurement and billing.

04

Project Costs Are Difficult to Track

Estimated, budgeted, committed and actual costs may sit in different places.

05

Measurements and Billing Are Separate

Executed quantities have to be checked again before preparing RA bills.

06

Management Lacks One Project View

It is difficult to answer: What have we committed? What have we spent? What have we earned? What will it cost to finish?

Manage Your Complete BOQ Process in One System

A BOQ should not stop after project estimation. BOQ Studio keeps the approved BOQ connected with budgeting, procurement, project execution, measurements and billing. Your project teams can work from the same quantities, costs and project information throughout the project.

This gives your estimation, procurement, project, QS, commercial and finance teams a common view of the project.

Track BOQ Changes and Project Variations

Project quantities and scope can change during execution. BOQ Studio helps you keep these changes under control and understand their effect on procurement, cost and billing.

Know what changed, why it changed and how it affects the project.

Track Project Costs From Estimate to Actual

BOQ Studio gives project teams a clear view of how project costs are moving from the original estimate to actual spending.

See cost changes early and take action before they become larger project problems.

1. Estimated Cost

What the project was expected to cost.

2. Approved Budget

What was approved for the project.

3. Committed Cost

What has been committed through procurement and other project activities.

4. Actual Cost

What has actually been spent.

5. Forecast Cost

What the project is expected to cost by completion.

Connect Project Procurement Directly With the BOQ

Procurement teams should know exactly what the project requires, what has already been ordered and what is still required. BOQ Studio connects project requirements with the procurement process.

1. Material Planning

2. Material Request

3. RFQ

4. Quotation Comparison

5. Purchase Order

6. Receipt

7. Inspection

8. Warehouse
