CATBOQ

Prepare consistent estimates with more clarity, confidence and cost control.

CATBOQ helps estimators build a structured BOQ, reuse a library of items across projects, and understand the real cost breakdown — every time, not just once.

Estimating shouldn't mean starting from scratch every time.

Cost uncertainty before starting

It's hard to know how much your project will really cost and where your money will go.

Scattered project information

BOQ, budget and quotation details end up spread across sheets and messages instead of one place.

Hard to understand BOQ items

BOQs are full of technical terms and numbers that are difficult to make sense of.

Fear of overspending during construction

Without a version-controlled budget, small changes can be hard to track against the original plan.
