Build Bills of Quantities Your Way
Full control over every line item, section, and total. Start from AI-extracted data or build from scratch — Quotably adapts to how you work.
How It Works
From raw data to a complete, organised Bill of Quantities in four steps.
Start from AI or Scratch
Begin with AI-extracted line items from your documents, or build your BOQ from scratch using your pricing lists. Either way, you are in full control.
Edit Every Detail
Adjust quantities, descriptions, unit prices, and notes on every line item. Add sections, group items, and customise the layout to match your quoting style.
Organise and Arrange
Drag and drop line items and sections. Reorder to match the logical flow of your project. Group related items together for clarity.
Review and Confirm
Review your complete BOQ with running totals and GST calculations. Confirm only when satisfied — then generate quotes, shopping lists, or export as needed.
Key Benefits
Full Control Over Every Line Item
Nothing goes into your BOQ without your approval. Edit descriptions, quantities, units, and pricing at any time before finalising.
Section-Based Organisation
Organise your BOQ into logical sections — electrical, plumbing, structural, or however your trade works. Sections make large BOQs manageable.
Linked to Your Pricing Lists
Line items pull directly from your pricing lists, keeping costs accurate and consistent across all your projects.
Real-Time Totals
See running subtotals, GST calculations, and grand totals update in real time as you add, remove, or adjust line items.
Duplicate and Reuse
Copy entire BOQs or individual sections to reuse on similar projects. Build faster by starting from previous work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I create a BOQ without using AI extraction?
Absolutely. You can build a BOQ entirely from scratch by searching and adding items from your pricing lists. AI extraction is a time-saver, but it is completely optional.
How do sections work in the BOQ builder?
Sections let you group related line items together. For example, an electrician might have sections for rough-in, fit-off, switchboard, and testing. Each section has its own subtotal, and you can collapse or expand sections as needed.
Can I duplicate a BOQ for similar projects?
Yes. You can duplicate an entire BOQ or copy specific sections. This is great for repeat work — start from a previous project and adjust quantities and items as needed for the new job.
Does the BOQ builder calculate GST?
Yes. The BOQ builder automatically calculates GST (10%) on all items and displays both ex-GST and inc-GST totals. You can configure whether individual items include or exclude GST.
Can I add notes or comments to line items?
Yes. Each line item supports internal notes (visible only to you) and description fields that appear on client-facing quotes. This helps you keep track of assumptions and specifications.
