Does the item numbering carry into Excel?

Yes — item numbers, descriptions, units and quantities extract as columns, preserving the BOQ's structure.

How long a BOQ can it handle?

Hundreds of lines within fair daily limits; large tender BOQs are exactly the target workload.

What is the verification standard?

Spot-check quantities per section against the PDF before pricing — digital BOQs extract exactly, OCR'd scans need closer review.

My BOQ is a scan — now what?

Run free OCR first (Scanned Table to Excel), then verify line by line.

From document to costing sheet

The BOQ's columnar structure — item number, description, unit, quantity — extracts into exactly the sheet estimators build manually. Add rate and amount columns, and the tender's costing model is live.

Where the hours go otherwise

Retyping a 500-line BOQ is a day of work and a typo minefield — and a quantity typo prices the bid wrong. Extraction compresses the retype to minutes plus verification.

Verify like a QS

Spot-check line quantities against the PDF, and confirm item counts match section by section. Scanned BOQs (via free OCR) need the fuller line-by-line check. Files are processed temporarily and deleted automatically — there is no general cloud storage.
