Creating a project's BOQ
Add items and quantities to estimate a project's total cost.
A BOQ (Bill of Quantities) lists every item a project needs along with the quantity required, giving you the project's total estimated cost.
- 1Open a project and go to its BOQ tab, or go to BOQ in the sidebar and select the project.
- 2Click + Add Item and choose an item from your Items of Work.
- 3Enter the quantity required. The rate is auto-filled from that item's Rate Analysis - you don't re-enter it.
- 4Repeat for every item the project needs. The BOQ total updates automatically.
