DecorFlow's BOQ Software is an engineering cost estimation engine built for interior designers and turnkey contractors to break down projects room-by-room and trade-by-trade with separate material and labour rates, gross margin alerts, uncosted leak guards, and baseline locking for clearer cost review.
How It Works in Your Studio
Import or Structure Room Scopes
Import dimensions from DecorFlow Site Survey or pull pre-built trade assemblies across carpentry, civil, electrical, false ceiling, and painting.
Engineered for Every Stage of Interior Execution
Engineered for interior design studios and turnkey contractors to analyze costs accurately and review costs before each quote.
Room & Trade Hierarchical Breakdown
Structure scopes room-by-room (Master Bed, Modular Kitchen) and trade-by-trade (Carpentry, Civil, Electrical, False Ceiling, Plumbing, Painting).
Material vs Labour Cost Split
Split unit costs into physical material supply and contractor labour so procurement budgets purchase orders accurately without guesswork.
Real-Time Margin % & Profit Tracking
Monitor gross margin percentages dynamically across sections and line items. Color-coded alerts warn when margins fall below studio safety thresholds.
Bulk Markup & Contingency Tools
Apply percentage markups across entire trade categories, and set 5–10% contingency safety buffers to absorb site surprises.
Uncosted Item Leak Guards
Built-in audit safeguards detect any line item lacking an internal cost rate, helping teams review missing cost rates before committing to client contracts.
BOQ to Quotation Conversion
Transform your internal engineering BOQ into a polished client proposal with client-friendly descriptions, keeping a 1:1 reconcilable provenance link.
Why Turnkey Interior Studios Need a True Engineering BOQ
Estimating interior projects in generic spreadsheets or pitching clients off rough lumpsum estimates is the leading cause of cost overruns in turnkey design firms. When material inflation hits or site conditions change, your studio absorbs the loss.
DecorFlow's BOQ engine provides rigorous rate analysis. By breaking down line items into exact dimensions, material specifications, hardware costs, and labour fabrication expenses, you gain total clarity on project gross margins before sending a single quotation.
Keeps project details together so your team can review progress and share relevant updates with clients.
Version Baseline Locking & Change Order Control
When a client quotation is generated from a BOQ, DecorFlow freezes that BOQ version as a saved commercial reference. When the client requests scope revisions or upgrades during execution, a new BOQ version is drafted without overwriting history.
This gives your team a comparison of changes between quoted baselines and current execution scopes—making change orders transparent and reconcilable.
Keeps project details together so your team can review progress and share relevant updates with clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a BOQ and a Quotation in DecorFlow?
A BOQ (Bill of Quantities) is an internal engineering and cost estimation baseline detailing exact measurements, cost rates, material vs labour splits, contingency allowances, and target margins. A Quotation is the client-facing presentation document converted from the BOQ with clean descriptions, room subtotals, and GST breakdowns.
How does the Material vs Labour cost split work?
Every BOQ line item can split the unit cost rate into material supply cost and contractor installation labour. This lets the team review materials and labour separately.
Can I apply bulk markups or contingency buffers?
Yes. You can apply bulk margin markups across specific categories (e.g., +25% on carpentry, +15% on civil) or the entire BOQ, and set contingency buffers (5-10%) to protect your studio against site surprises.
How does baseline versioning prevent margin leakage?
When a quotation is issued from a BOQ, that BOQ version is retained as a commercial reference. Future scope adjustments create a new revision (e.g., V2), allowing you to reconcile variances and change orders.
Seamlessly Connected to Your Studio Workflow
DecorFlow is not an isolated point solution. It connects directly with your upstream design scoping and downstream procurement pipelines.
Site Survey & Measurement
Feed recorded site measurements, wall elevations, and civil constraints directly into your estimation sheets.
Material Procurement
Use approved material quantities when preparing supplier purchase orders.
Vendor & Contractor Ops
Match contractor fabrication bills against BOQ labour rates to review differences against the planned budget.
