Stop fighting BOQ spreadsheets.
I'm Ahmed Khalil. After 18 years as an estimator in Australian construction, I built Construction Pilot to solve the problems I saw builders face every day: messy spreadsheets, broken formulas, and BOQ formats that banks and clients couldn't understand.
Sound familiar?
These are the problems I saw builders struggle with every single week.
Messy BOQs scattered across Excel files
Every project starts fresh. No templates. No consistency. Hours wasted recreating the same structure.
Constant changes that break formulas
One wrong cell edit and your totals are wrong. You don't notice until the client calls.
BOQs that banks and clients can't understand
Your Excel exports look unprofessional. Banks ask for clarification. Clients get confused.
