Exporting a Client-Ready BOQ and Formal Quotation PDF
The estimate is internal until it is a document a client can sign. EngEst Pro produces both — the working BOQ and the formal quotation.
The BOQ export
- Line items grouped by category and work section.
- Description, unit, quantity, unit rate, and amount per line.
- Category subtotals, material and labour split, and grand total.
- Priced in the project’s local currency.
- PDF on every plan; Excel export on Professional and Enterprise.

The formal quotation PDF
- Your company letterhead and details.
- Project description and scope summary.
- Cost breakdown — direct costs, subcontractors, overhead, contingency, profit, VAT.
- Payment terms and quotation validity period.
- A client signature block for acceptance.
