How builders use it

Follow the money, from
first price to final claim.

Every screenshot below is the real product. One live system where the estimate, the supplier quotes, the orders and the claims all agree with each other.

01 · Price it

A BOQ that adds up — and keeps adding up.

Trade groups, headings, formulas and your own catalogue with price levels. 400 lines or 4,000 — totals move as you type, and every line remembers where its price came from.

  • Copy-paste from Excel
  • Catalogue & price levels
  • Assemblies & allowances
BOQ editor with trade groups and 414 bill items
02 · Quote it

Your suppliers price the job with you.

Send any trade package as an RFQ. Suppliers get a link — no login, no account — and their prices land back in a side-by-side comparison with the lowest highlighted. Pick the winner and the job updates.

  • Supplier portal, no login
  • Line-by-line comparison
  • Lowest price highlighted
RFQ comparison: two supplier quotes side by side with the lowest prices highlighted
03 · Order it

Turn the winning price into purchase orders.

Raise POs straight off the BOQ, cost centre by cost centre. Ordered lines are locked and tracked against the estimate, so committed cost is a fact — not a guess in a spreadsheet.

  • POs from the BOQ
  • Committed cost, live
  • Backorders & receipts
Purchase orders for a job: 121 orders tracked by cost centre and supplier
04 · Claim it

Claims and invoices that match the job.

Progress claims built from the same numbers as the BOQ — GST, retention and variations handled properly, payables and receivables in one view. It all flows through to Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks.

  • Progress & contract claims
  • PO-to-invoice matching
  • Xero · MYOB · QuickBooks
Accounting dashboard: payables, overdue, receivables and claims awaiting approval
05 · Read it

Know your margin while you can still fix it.

Contract, cost, revenue and margin per job — live, not at handover. And when a report isn’t shaped the way you want it, open it in the built-in designer, reshape it, and export PDF, Excel or Word.

  • Profitability per job
  • Built-in report designer
  • PDF · Excel · Word

AI · included in every plan

The AI reads the quote
so you don’t have to.

Drop a supplier’s quote PDF into costed and AI extraction fills the prices into the right BOQ lines for your review. Included in every plan — not a paid add-on.
