From drawing to doing
Start online or in WhatsApp. Your order reference keeps your request and BOQ connected.
Choose your town and build scope, then attach the drawing. Review your details before submitting.
Confirm measurements if requested. The estimator checks quantities, assumptions and drawing evidence before release. A fee waiver does not skip this review.
Download when your order shows the PDF is available. Check assumptions, unpriced items and supplier quotations before buying.
Scope & fee details
An estimator must review and release your BOQ before download. Waiving the fee does not skip review.
Normally USD 40.00. The promotional fee of USD 9.99 applies once the fee waiver ends.
Foundation to wall plate
The promotional fee covers the foundation-to-wall-plate bill of quantities: earthworks, footings, slab, brickwork, lintels and ring beam.
Roof & full build

Your plan. Your location.
Choose from 32 Zimbabwean cities and towns, or tell us about an unlisted or rural site. Your BOQ records the selected town and shows the local-versus-benchmark rate coverage.
Quantities come from your plan, selected scope and confirmed measurements. Choosing a town does not automatically change material quantities.
Choose my build townPlan dimensions, confirmed details and visible assumptions determine the estimate, not a blanket city multiplier.
Dated town-specific rates are used only where valid evidence is recorded. Otherwise shared benchmark rates apply; delivery and site conditions need separate confirmation.
Confirm soil and foundation requirements with the appropriate professional, and confirm stock, transport and unloading with the supplier.
Other town / rural site is also available. A listed town is not a promise of verified local prices or supplier stock.

No BOQ fee during the pilot
An estimator must review and release your BOQ before download. Waiving the fee does not skip review.
A BOQ is an estimate, not a supplier quotation or structural approval. Rates and availability can change before purchase.
Roof and Full build estimates are coming soon and are not available for new requests. A legacy full-build estimate is not a fully priced turnkey budget: finishes, plumbing, electrical and specialist items can remain unpriced and are excluded from the priced total until quoted.
