The price you submit is the first commitment of the project
If the pricing logic is lost after award, budget and contract start from figures nobody can trace.
- 01
A structured BOQ
Bill-of-quantities lines tied to the tender and the project, not a standalone file.
- 02
Pricing versions
Every estimate change is a version with a date and an author, and the approved one is known.
- 03
Resource assemblies
Unit cost built from materials, labour, equipment and subcontractors.
