From DSR to a Priced BOQ
A bill of quantities is where the DSR meets your project. Here is how to build one from DSR items — and automate the parts that don't need a human.
Creating a BOQ from the DSR
Map drawings and measured quantities to the right DSR items — without missing scope or double-counting.
How does EstimateNext speed up BOQ workflows?
EstimateNext automates the slowest parts of estimating — matching each line to the correct DSR/SOR code, pulling the rate analysis build-up and computing amounts. Tasks that take an estimator days of manual lookups and cross-checking are compressed into minutes, letting you focus on reviewing rates instead of assembling them.
What file formats are supported for BOQ uploads?
You can upload your BOQ as standard spreadsheet files — Excel (.xlsx, .xls) and CSV are supported. The AI reads the item descriptions and quantities directly from the sheet, so there is no rigid template to follow.
How does EstimateNext handle BOQ uploads and generate priced bid packages?
Upload your BOQ as a spreadsheet and EstimateNext's AI reads every line, matches each item to the correct CPWD DSR or state SOR entry, and attaches a full rate analysis build-up automatically — no manual code-hunting.
From there it returns a complete priced bid package: priced BOQ, item-wise rate analysis and a submission-ready abstract. What normally takes an estimator days of lookups and cross-checking is compressed into minutes, so you can focus on reviewing rates rather than assembling them.

Upload a BOQ → get a priced BOQ, rate analysis and abstract back, ready to review.
