BOQ and quantity control
Keep contract quantities, descriptions, units, rates and controlled commercial references visible beside the work they represent, rather than maintaining an isolated BOQ spreadsheet as the only source of context.
BOQ · Quantity Surveying · Billing Control
Connect quantities, measurement and billing evidence to the work that earned them.
ORQIV brings BOQ, measurement records, progress quantities, RA bill and payment-support evidence, rate analysis, variations and commercial traceability into the same governed project context used by planning, execution and document control.
A BOQ should stay connected to scope, progress and evidence.
Commercial control becomes stronger when the quantity record can be followed from contract scope to measurement, progress, variation and payment-support evidence. ORQIV preserves those relationships without replacing the authorized valuation or certification process.
Measurement and quantity evidence
Record measured quantities with references to work fronts, progress evidence, drawings, documents and site records so commercial quantities can be traced back to what was actually executed and verified.
RA bill and payment-support workflow
Prepare quantity and progress evidence for running account and interim payment workflows while keeping review, approval and commercial responsibility with the authorized project team.
Rate analysis and estimating context
Keep rates, build-ups, tender references and estimating assumptions close to the BOQ and change record so later reviews can distinguish original pricing from revised or additional work.
Variation and change visibility
Connect changed scope, revised quantities, instructions and supporting records to the project change chronology instead of treating every commercial adjustment as a disconnected spreadsheet item.
BBS and quantity traceability
Use bar-bending and quantity-support evidence where relevant while preserving the relationship between quantity records, drawings, revisions and field execution.
Separate measured progress from unsupported billing.
A quantity can appear in a commercial worksheet before its supporting site, drawing, inspection or approval evidence is complete. ORQIV is designed to keep those references visible so teams can review quantity status, progress basis and commercial readiness from one chain of evidence.
This is especially important where physical progress, earned value, subcontractor valuation and client billing use different approval rules or cut-off dates. The system should preserve those differences rather than silently treating them as equivalent.
BOQ & Quantity Surveying FAQ
What is BOQ and quantity surveying software?
It is software used to organize bills of quantities, measurements, quantity records, rate and variation context, billing support and commercial evidence so quantity decisions remain traceable across project delivery.
Does ORQIV replace the quantity surveyor's professional judgement?
No. ORQIV organizes the project evidence, calculations and workflow context. Measurement acceptance, valuation, certification and contractual decisions remain with the authorized project professionals.
Can BOQ quantities be linked to site progress?
ORQIV is designed to keep quantity and billing evidence connected with execution and project-control records so reported quantities can be reviewed against the underlying work and supporting evidence.
Can variations be linked to the original BOQ?
Yes. Change and variation context can be associated with BOQ, quantities, instructions, documents and supporting evidence while preserving the original commercial reference.
How does BOQ data support earned value and cost control?
Where project rules allow, controlled quantities and progress evidence can support physical-progress and cost-control analysis. The approved progress method, cut-off rules and commercial basis still need to be governed by the project.
