Why SmartQS
A tool that grows with your business
Most pricing tools leave the hard part to you: hunting down local rates, applying grade logic, checking compliance. SmartQS has already done that work.
Save days of data entry time
Skip manual rate hunting. Complete BOQs priced in minutes, from days of data entry down to one upload.
Significantly fewer errors than manual input
Every line is priced against verified South African rate databases.
Reliable, accurate audit trail
Every rate traceable to source, every assumption flagged.
How it works
A simple, fast, effective and accurate process
Upload your BOQ
Drag and drop a PDF or Excel file. Headers, footers and formatting quirks are cleaned up automatically.
System structures & prices
Line items are structured, units normalised, and South African rates applied for your CIDB grade. Figures stay editable.
Export & submit
Get a clean, costed schedule with traceable rates and flagged assumptions, exported to Excel and ready for tender.
Get it right first time
