BOQ Management
BOQ Management Software for Interior and Construction Projects
Create structured bills of quantities, track costs against estimates, link your BOQ to client quotations, and maintain a full revision history — all in one place.
BOQ management the way construction professionals need it
Structured, linked, and versioned — not another spreadsheet.
Category-wise BOQ structure
Organise your BOQ by work category — civil, flooring, electrical, plumbing, furniture, soft furnishings. Add line items with quantities, unit rates, and totals. No more flat lists.
Link BOQ to client quotations
Your BOQ feeds directly into client-facing quotations. When the BOQ changes, the quotation updates. No manual re-entry, no version mismatches.
Track actuals against estimates
Record actual costs as the project progresses and compare against your BOQ estimates in real time. Catch cost overruns before they erode your margin.
Revision history and audit trail
Every change to a BOQ is versioned. You have a full history of what was scoped, at what cost, and when it changed — invaluable when disputes arise.
Multiple BOQs per project
Create phase-wise or scope-wise BOQs within a single project. Useful for large construction projects with distinct work packages.
Export and share
Export your BOQ to PDF for client review or share directly through Mysanchalan's client portal. Professional presentation without extra formatting work.
Why BOQ management matters beyond cost estimation
A bill of quantities is not just a cost estimate — it is the contractual basis of your project. When a client disputes a charge at the end of a project, the BOQ is the document that either protects you or exposes you. A BOQ managed in a structured system, with version history and client sign-off at each revision, is a legal-grade record of what was agreed.
The problem with Excel-based BOQs is that they are disconnected from everything else. A designer updates the BOQ, then has to manually re-enter those numbers into a quotation PDF, which then gets emailed to the client. When the client asks for a revision, the cycle repeats — and version control is a folder of files named "BOQ_v3_final_FINAL.xlsx".
Mysanchalan connects the BOQ to the full project workflow. Changes in the BOQ propagate to linked quotations. Approved quotations feed into milestone invoices. The entire chain — scope to quote to invoice — lives in one system with a consistent data model.
For interior designers and construction contractors alike, this means fewer billing disputes, faster approvals, and a professional documentation standard that builds client trust.
BOQ — frequently asked questions
What is a BOQ in construction and interior design?
A Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is a detailed document that lists all the materials, labour, and work items required for a construction or interior project, along with their quantities and unit costs. It forms the basis for cost estimation, client quotations, and billing. In interior design, a BOQ typically covers categories like civil works, flooring, electrical, furniture, and finishes.
Why do contractors and designers need BOQ management software?
Managing a BOQ in Excel is error-prone and disconnected from the rest of the project workflow. BOQ management software keeps quantity data structured, links it directly to quotations and invoices, and provides an audit trail when clients dispute charges. It also helps identify cost overruns early by comparing estimated and actual costs in real time.
How does Mysanchalan handle BOQ revisions?
In Mysanchalan, every BOQ revision creates a new version. The full revision history is stored and accessible at any time. When a BOQ is linked to a client quotation, changes are tracked and clients can see exactly what changed between versions — reducing scope disputes significantly.
Can I create a BOQ before getting client approval?
Yes. You can create your BOQ as an internal working document first, then generate a client-facing quotation from it when ready. The client quotation can be shared for approval, and the BOQ is updated only when you choose to revise it.
