BOQ Importer

Excel BOQs imported in seconds, not days.

What it does

Drop in a contractor BOQ and ORKSTRA parses sections, items, units and rates in seconds β€” ready for pricing, revision tracking and downstream IPC measurement.

Key capabilities

  • Excel + PDF BOQ ingestion with intelligent column mapping
  • Section + sub-section hierarchy preserved (Bill 1, 1.1, 1.1.1)
  • Unit normalization (m, mΒ², mΒ³, no, lump sum)
  • Revision diff: highlights changed quantities/rates between BOQ versions
  • Direct hand-off to estimating, IPC measurement and cost control

Why it matters for UAE contractors

BOQs in the UAE arrive as Excel sheets with merged cells, mixed languages and inconsistent formatting. Manual re-entry costs you a day per project and introduces errors into IPCs. ORKSTRA automates the boring part so estimators spend their time pricing, not retyping.
