Spreadsheet import

Already have your items in a spreadsheet?

Import them as a CSV file — the file is read in your browser and never uploaded.

01

Save your sheet as CSV

In Excel or Google Sheets, use File → Save As (or Download) → CSV. Keep one row per item.

02

Columns we look for

Description, Quantity, Unit and Rate. Headers can be named loosely — 'Item', 'Qty', 'Price' all work. No header? We read them in that order.

03

Check and send

Units like m2, nos or bags are matched to the form's units. Review the lines, add VAT if needed, then save, print or send.

Have a priced Excel BoQ in any layout? BoQ Import reads Excel files directly.

Why a vague quote costs you jobs — and money

01

Rates you can defend

Itemised quantities, units and rates show the client exactly what they are paying for — no lump sums that hide cement or rod prices.

02

A validity date on every quote

Material prices move fast in Nigeria. A "valid until" date protects you when cement or iron rod prices change before the client accepts.

03

From accepted quote to invoice

When the client accepts, turn the quotation into an invoice in one click instead of typing it all again.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Q.Is the quotation builder free?+

Yes — create, save and print quotations free. Free printouts carry a small nigeriabuildingcost.ng watermark; a 7-day or 90-day pass removes it.

Q.Can I import my items from a spreadsheet?+

Yes. Save your sheet as a CSV file with description, quantity, unit and rate columns and import it — the file is read in your browser, not uploaded. You can also import section totals from a saved BoQ tender.

Q.What do the presets include?+

Each preset adds a typical list of work items with sensible units. Rates start blank because every contractor prices differently — fill in your own quantities and rates.

Q.Does it add VAT?+

Yes. Tick "Include VAT" and 7.5% is added and shown as a separate line.

Q.What happens when the client accepts?+

Send the quote and your client opens a link where they pick any optional extras, type their name and sign on screen. You get an email, then turn the accepted quote into an invoice or a Track My Build project in one click.

Q.Can I keep my profit margin private?+

Yes. Type your own cost rates and set a markup %. The client only ever sees the marked-up rates — never your cost or the markup — on the link, the email and the printout. You can also show the client section totals only.

Q.Can I reuse my prices?+

Pick lines from your saved items, your My Rates book or market rates for your city, star any line to save it for next time, and save a whole quote as your own template.
