Quickstart

Navigate to /signup. Fill in your full name, work email, and a password of at least 12 characters. Select your country and preferred platform language from the dropdown. Click Create workspace.

The onboarding wizard opens after signup. It walks you through your platform capabilities, creates your first project, and optionally loads a sample BOQ so you can see the editor in a populated state. You can skip the sample data — your workspace is fully functional immediately.

Every estimate, BOQ, cost record, and field report is scoped to a project. A project represents a single construction work — a building, infrastructure package, or defined scope of works.

From the project detail page, click BOQ in the sidebar. The editor opens with an empty work breakdown structure. Click Add section to create a top-level section — for example, 02 Substructure or 03 Frame.

Within a section, click Add position. The position search panel opens. Type a description in plain language:

reinforced concrete suspended slab 200mm
external thermal render on block
structural steel column H-section
precast concrete stair flight
aluminium curtain walling system

The semantic search engine returns ranked matches from the CWICR database. Each result shows the position code, full title, unit, and total unit rate for your selected regional market.

Select a position. Enter the quantity. The editor shows the full resource breakdown — labour, materials, equipment, overhead — and calculates the line total in real time. Repeat for each element in your scope. Use sections to group by trade or building element.

Navigate to Quick Estimate. Enter a scope description, gross floor area in m², and the project location. The system processes your description through the regional cost database and returns a structured preliminary estimate with line items, subtotals, contingency, and an overall confidence score within seconds.
