Pricing subsoil exploration against a live tender
Mapping a tender BOQ to the right schedule items, applying the current cost index and catching where rates have moved since the base edition takes time and is easy to get wrong. We can do it for you: send the tender and we return a priced BOQ on the applicable schedule, with rate build-ups and an engineer's sign-off.
