QuantaraBOQ Software for Facilities Management Projects and Service Scope
For facilities-management companies evaluating structured BOQ workflows for project-based maintenance, repair and refurbishment scope.
Quantara helps facilities-management teams organize supported maintenance, repair and refurbishment scope into reviewed BOQ records.
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
Similar reactive and planned maintenance tasks can involve repeated BOQ organization and review work.
How Quantara Supports the Workflow
Quantara can organize supported maintenance, repair, refurbishment and planned-work scope in BOQ sections. Available templates can support consistent formatting, while contractor comparisons and revision interpretation remain professional tasks.
Practical Example
A facilities-management team prepares a refurbishment BOQ from reviewed site notes and supplier files. It uses an available template, enters verified site quantities and checks the generated document before contractor issue.

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?
FM teams can use available BOQ templates where configured. The scope, quantities and output still require project-specific review.
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?
Supported reactive-repair scope can be organized into BOQ sections. Review effort depends on the source and project requirements.
How does it help with contractor comparisons?
A reviewed BOQ can present the same item structure to multiple contractors. The FM team must still reconcile qualifications, exclusions and returned pricing before 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?
Reviewed data can be exported as XLSX for manual use or import elsewhere. Compatibility with another FM or financial system is not guaranteed.
