Features & Tools Built for Construction Estimating.
Plan2BOQ brings the key stages of construction estimating into one connected workflow. Complete digital plan takeoffs, apply automated construction calculations, organize quantities and pricing, and produce structured Bills of Quantities from your measured plans.
What makes Plan2BOQ different?
Plan2BOQ has been built around the practical requirements of construction estimating. Its specialized estimating engines automate calculations, control how measured information is used, and help turn plan takeoffs into structured Bills of Quantities.
Independent Estimating Engines
Plan2BOQ uses separate estimating engines, helping prevent unintended crossover of data between unrelated estimating sections. Information is shared between engines only where deliberately required.
Automatic Pitch Calculations
Where pitch affects the quantity of product required, Plan2BOQ automatically performs the required pitch calculations based on the project information supplied.
Automatic Alternate Deductions
Main measurements automatically deduct applicable alternate measured areas, reducing manual calculation and helping prevent double-counting.
Controlled Automatic Aggregation
Relevant measured information is automatically aggregated where deliberately required, including for Framing & Hardware, Insulation, Doors and Finishes.
Construction-Sequenced Bill of Quantities
Plan2BOQ produces a specialized Bill of Quantities organized in the practical order of construction, helping make the completed estimate clear and easy to follow.
No Manual Estimating Maths
Plan2BOQ's specialized estimating engines perform the required calculations automatically based on the user's measurements, selections and loaded project information.
Plan Overlay & Revision Highlighting
Plan2BOQ Takeoff allows revised versions of the same drawing to be overlaid, with changes highlighted so the estimator can identify what has changed and amend the affected work accordingly.
Configurable Engines & Building Levels
Estimating engines and building levels can be turned on or off to suit the individual project, from a specialized trade scope through to a complete multi-level building.
Multiple Merchant Price Files
Plan2BOQ allows up to three different merchant price files to be imported, with the appropriate pricing source selected to suit the estimator's requirements.
