BOQ Software for Facilities Management Projects and Service Scope
Built for facilities-management (FM) companies handling project-based maintenance, repair, and refurbishment BOQs.
Quantara enables facilities-management companies to structure BOQs for refurbishment projects, maintenance works, and complex service packages.
Industry Challenges
Ad-Hoc Project Scopes
FM teams often deal with poorly structured, ad-hoc scopes of work for repairs that are difficult to standardize into professional BOQs.
Recurring Service Packages
Recreating BOQs from scratch for similar reactive and planned maintenance tasks wastes significant administrative time.
How Quantara Supports the Workflow
Quantara supports FM workflows by organizing maintenance works, repairs, refurbishment, and both reactive and planned work. Teams can leverage recurring templates for service packages, structure asset-related scope, manage contractor comparisons, and maintain robust project records and revisions.
Practical Example
A facilities-management team is preparing a refurbishment BOQ based on raw site inspection notes and supplier pricing files. They use Quantara's templates to quickly structure a standard refurbishment BOQ, inputting the specific site quantities to generate a formal document for contractor bidding.

Limitations & Professional Disclaimer
- Quantara is not an asset-management system or a CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System).
- Quantara does not provide live work-order tracking or ticketing.
- Quantara focuses strictly on the BOQ and estimating document workflow.
Quantara assists with document extraction, BOQ organization, project records, templates, revisions and supported document-generation workflows. All scope, quantities, units, descriptions, technical requirements, rates, assumptions, exclusions and generated outputs must be reviewed by appropriately qualified construction professionals before tender, procurement, contractual or construction use. Quantara does not provide engineering approval, code compliance certification, or professional design validation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can facilities-management teams reuse BOQ templates?
Yes, Quantara allows FM teams to save standard BOQ structures as templates, which is ideal for recurring service or refurbishment packages.
Is Quantara a CMMS?
No. Quantara is a BOQ and document workflow platform. It is not a Computerized Maintenance Management System for live ticketing.
Can I manage reactive repair BOQs?
Yes, you can rapidly structure ad-hoc scopes of work into professional BOQs for reactive repairs.
How does it help with contractor comparisons?
By structuring a standardized BOQ, you can issue the same document to multiple contractors, ensuring an "apples to apples" comparison.
Does it track physical assets?
No, Quantara manages the documents and BOQ items related to the assets, but it does not track live asset health or inventory.
Can I structure PPM schedules?
You can structure the commercial and pricing elements of a PPM schedule as a BOQ, but it does not execute the actual maintenance scheduling.
How are refurbishment projects handled?
Refurbishments are treated as standard construction BOQs, allowing you to organize demolition, finishes, and MEP works logically.
Can I export the data to Excel?
Yes, structured data can be exported to Excel for integration with other FM or financial systems.
