Quoting a Multi-Trade BOQ Shouldn’t Mean 20 Separate Conversations
If you’ve ever priced a 200-line BOQ across a dozen trades, you already know where the time goes — chasing suppliers, normalizing quotations, and reformatting documents just to make them comparable.
20+ separate supplier conversations
A multi-trade BOQ usually means a dozen WeChat threads, half a dozen Alibaba inquiries, and no single party accountable for the document.
Inconsistent units and incomplete specs
Some lines are precise, others say 'as per drawing' with no drawing attached. Suppliers quote around the gaps and the prices stop being comparable.
Reformatting every quotation by hand
Each factory sends back its own template. The QS spends a day rebuilding line numbering before the BOQ can even be priced.
No single point of accountability
When a line is wrong, late, or missing on arrival, no one owns the document — only the line they quoted.
One BOQ, multiple shipments
Each supplier ships separately. Freight cost multiplies, customs filing multiplies, site handling multiplies.
Lost time, not lost money
The actual unit prices are usually fine. What kills a BOQ procurement cycle is the four weeks lost coordinating it.
One BOQ. One Coordinated Sourcing Process.
We review the full BOQ, sort every line into the right material category, route it to the matched factories already in our sourcing network, and return one quotation document using the same line numbering as the original file.
The line numbering is the detail that matters. The returned quotation drops back into your BOQ document at the same row references, so your QS workflow doesn’t change.
One BOQ In. One Container Out.
Twelve steps from your submitted BOQ to delivered cargo at your destination port. The fan-out below shows where your document splits across factories and where it reconsolidates into a single shipment.
Your BOQ splits across the matched factories for each category, runs through its own production and QC track, then reconsolidates into a single packed container under one set of export documents.
- Step01
Submit your BOQ
Excel, PDF or Word — including exports from CostX, Buildsoft, Cubit or similar QS software. We accept the document as it is.
- Step02
BOQ review & categorization
Every line is read and sorted into the relevant material category — structural, interior, MEP, hardware, machinery.
- Step03
Specification clarification
Any line with missing or vague specs is flagged back to you before quoting. We never guess at a spec to keep a quotation looking complete.
- Step04
Multi-factory quotation
Matched factories in our existing sourcing network quote each line item or category group based on the agreed specifications.
- Step05
Consolidated quotation returned
One document, same line numbering as your BOQ — unit price, MOQ, lead time and incoterm against every line you submitted.
- Step06
Review & approve
Approve the full BOQ or selected lines only. You decide what moves to production and what stays open for further review.
- Step07
Sample confirmation
Where samples are needed — finishes, tiles, hardware, fabrics — we coordinate dispatch and sign-off before bulk production starts.
- Step08
Production coordination
Across every factory involved, production timelines are aligned so categories arrive at the consolidation warehouse in the right sequence.
- Step09
Pre-shipment inspection per category
Each category is inspected at its factory or at our consolidation warehouse before loading, with a photo report against the BOQ line.
- Step10
Consolidated packing & loading
Mixed-category goods are packed, labelled by BOQ line and loaded into one container under a documented loading plan.
- Step11
Export documentation
Commercial invoice, packing list, BL, certificate of origin and any fumigation or pre-shipment certificates required at your destination port.
- Step12
Shipment & delivery
FOB, CIF or DDP to your nominated port, with tracking and a single point of contact through to arrival.
