Hi all,
I am interested to hear how others are structuring their Bills of Quantities in Buildprax.
Do you:
- Follow a strict trade structure?
- Use your own custom sections?
- Reuse previous project templates?
My approach (for interest):
I normally start with a clean project and create only the bills I need.
From there:
- I copy selected items from the Model BoQ rather than importing everything
- I build up templates based on building types (office, warehouse, retail, hospital, hotel, etc.)
- I then reuse those templates for future projects
The benefit is that:
- The structure stays clean and relevant
- The links between drawings, BoQ items, and estimates are already set up
- It speeds up future projects significantly
Would be great to hear how others are doing it.
