Every site, priced line by line.
The cost study becomes the quote and the site budget in one motion; the variance reads in a single line.
The site moves forward, the budget drifts.
The cost estimate lives in a spreadsheet
The quantity surveyor prices in Excel, and every offer variant spawns one more file. Six months later, nobody knows which version was sent to the client.
The quote and the budget ignore each other
The offer sits on one side, site tracking on the other: everything gets keyed in twice by hand, and every re-entry plants an error that costs you at the end of the contract.
The gap shows up too late
Supplier invoices pile up with no cost-code allocation. By the time the overrun shows up, the concrete is already poured: the margin melted away without warning.
Estimate, contract, track: one single chain.
DTS BTP connects the cost estimate, the customer quote and the site budget: what the quantity surveyor prices, the supervisor tracks.
Estimate
BoQ by lot and line item
The BoQ (Bill of Quantities) is built lot by lot, line item by line item, with unit-price breakdowns by nature: materials, labor, equipment, subcontracting.
Direct cost & overhead coefficient
Direct cost is calculated from the price breakdowns; the overhead coefficient applies on request, and the projected margin shows before the offer goes out.
Indexed revisions
Every offer variant is a tracked revision (index A, B, C...): one active at a time, the history stays available. You always know what was sent.
The requirement plan comes out of the BoQ
The validated BoQ proposes its materials requirement plan, adjustable, then purchase requisitions follow their path: the site foreman, the works supervisor, the executive above a configurable threshold.
Contract
From BoQ to customer quote
The validated BoQ generates the quote: one section per contract lot, one line per item, each line traced back to its source.
The budget comes from the offer
The same BoQ creates the site's initial budget: what was promised to the client becomes the reference to meet, with no double entry.
The site ready on day one
Sequential code, automatic analytic account, client and project manager, contract dates: the site record is created in a few fields.
Contracts, amendments, work orders
The confirmed quote becomes a contract, public or private; amendments, work orders and bank guarantees follow the contract, with an alert when a deadline nears.
Track
Budgeted, committed, actual, available
Every cost code shows its four columns: committed moves on confirmed purchase orders, actual on every entry, the variance reads in a single line.
Every expense has its cost code
Supplier invoices and expenses post to the site AND to the cost code: earthworks, reinforced concrete, masonry, each to its own account.
Real site roles
The foreman enters, the works supervisor validates, the manager decides: approval levels follow your roles, not the other way round.
Progress statements, certificates, retention
Each progress statement takes up the quantities recorded item by item; the start-up advance is recovered automatically and the retention is reclassified, then released at final acceptance.
The site in four columns, the variance in one line.
The works supervisor opens the site and reads: budgeted, committed, actual, available, cost code by cost code. What's drifting shows before it costs you.
