Estimation, BOQs & Rate Books
Build BOQs from live rate libraries, compare subcontractor packages, and lock a tender margin baseline that carries straight into the live job.
Contractors price a project at a 12% margin, but static Excel sheets fail to account for current market materials, labor escalation, or historical job costing.
Automated Excel BOQ import and multi-level work breakdown structures (WBS).
Centralized GCC contractor rate books for material, labor, and plant costs.
Subcontractor quote package comparison and locked tender margin baselines that feed directly into live operations.

Can multiple estimators work on the same tender simultaneously without overwriting each other's work?
YESIntrakore's estimation module is built for parallel working. Split the BOQ by trade, by package or by section and assign each part to a different estimator. Everyone works live on the same tender at the same time. No version conflicts. No emailed spreadsheets. No “which file is the latest one?”
Can I build subcontractor and supplier packages directly inside the tender and dispatch them without rebuilding the scope in a separate document?
YESPackages are built inside Intrakore directly from the BOQ. Scope, quantities and requirements are already there. Dispatch the package to your vendor list in one step. No retyping. No separate Word document. No scope getting lost between the estimate and the RFQ.
Can I track which subcontractor quotes have come back, which are still outstanding and which ones I need to chase, all from inside the platform?
YESEvery package dispatched from Intrakore has a live status. Received, pending, chased, expired. You see the full picture of your tender at any point without opening an email inbox or a tracking spreadsheet.
Can I maintain one centralised rate book and cost book that every estimator in the business works from, so every tender is built on the same foundation?
YESRate books and cost books are centralised in Intrakore and accessible to every estimator simultaneously. When material costs change, you update once and every active tender reflects the change. No more different rates per person. No more pricing logic that walks out when a senior estimator leaves.
Can I manage the full RFI log for a tender inside the platform so every clarification request and response is tracked in one place?
YESRFI logs are built into the Intrakore estimation module. Every query raised, every response received and every clarification issued is logged against the tender. When scope is disputed after award, your pre-tender clarification record is already complete.
Can I compare my priced rates against my own historical cost book data during a live tender to make sure my assumptions are still valid?
YESCost books in Intrakore hold your internal historical rates built up from every job you have completed. During a live tender you can check your assumed rate against what you actually paid on previous similar jobs before you commit. You price with confidence, not with guesswork.
Can I convert a won tender directly into a live project file so the Operations and Finance teams are working from the exact same numbers I priced?
YESWhen a tender is awarded, Intrakore converts it directly into a project file. The budget that Operations manages and the cost that Finance tracks both come from the original estimate. The margin assumption you made at tender is the same one the business is measured against on site. No manual transfer. No interpretation. No gap between what was priced and what was communicated.
Can I see which tenders I have won and lost historically, and what the margin assumptions were on each, so I price the next one smarter?
YESTender history in Intrakore shows won, lost and withdrawn tenders with the original pricing assumptions. Over time you build a picture of where your pricing is competitive, where you are leaving money on the table and which project types consistently deliver the margin you quoted.
Can I make sure my rate books are consistent across every estimator so every bid we submit is built on the same foundation?
YESRate books are centralised in Intrakore and used by every estimator in the business. No more different rates per person. No more pricing logic that walks out when an estimator leaves.
Can I decide whether to bid on a new tender knowing my estimate is built on consistent rates, not whatever each estimator had saved on their desktop?
YESCentralised rate books mean every estimate your team produces is built from the same foundation. When you sign off a bid, the margin assumption is real.
