Master Data

Your company's reusable library of items, materials, labour and equipment.

Master Data is where your company's reusable estimation building blocks live — Items of Work, Materials, Labour and Equipment — each in its own organised library.

Every new company starts with a curated set of Indian construction defaults, and can add, edit or organise its own from there. These libraries are what your BOQs and Rate Analysis are built from, so updating a rate or adding an item here makes it available across every project.
