Construction Estimate Audit & BOQ Error Checker (Lifetime Access)

Description

Before you finalize your estimate, run a structured audit on your BOQ.

The Construction Estimate Audit & BOQ Error Checker is an advanced Excel-based audit system designed to help construction professionals review BOQ entries, identify common estimate issues, check required scope categories, review rate benchmarks, compare revisions, and organize corrective actions before an estimate is finalized or submitted.

Instead of manually scanning hundreds of BOQ lines, use a structured audit workflow that highlights issues such as missing codes, missing descriptions, quantity issues, missing units, negative values, zero rates, amount mismatches, duplicate items, unit mismatches, rate deviations and high wastage flags.

Built for contractors, builders, quantity surveyors, estimators, civil engineers, project managers, billing teams and construction consultants, this tool gives you a centralized way to review your estimate and prioritize items that need attention.

🔍 What’s Inside the Audit System

1️⃣ BOQ Audit Engine

• Prioritize items as Fix Now → Review → Clear.

2️⃣ Audit Dashboard

• Review the overall audit score and status.
• See critical rows, warning rows and amount variance.
• Get visibility into missing scope and the next action.

6️⃣ Resolution Center

• Bring flagged BOQ issues into one resolution workspace.
• See priority, audit status, item details and detected issues.

• Review row-level findings and recommended fixes.
• See critical issues, warnings, missing scope and amount variance.
• Use the organized report for internal review and sign-off preparation.

8️⃣ Custom Audit Settings

• Adjust amount-mismatch tolerance.
