Projects and Bills of Quantities

Fast, precise and clear - creation of Bill of quantities.

Each project can contain an unlimited number of Bills of Quantities. General project information, investor details and information required for preparing interim payment certificates are defined at project level, while individual Bills of Quantities contain price lists, notes and other relevant information.

By taking advantage of modern technologies, GALA enables fast preparation of Bills of Quantities and quotations. Importing Bills of Quantities from Excel or creating them directly in the software leaves more time for analysing individual items and preparing competitive offers. The preparation of Bills of Quantities is flexible and supports different layouts and item structures. For each item, users can view the cost analysis, planned profit and consumption of labour, materials and equipment. The same overview is also available for the entire Bill of Quantities.

Prices can be quickly adjusted by changing price lists, while reports allow users to monitor the effects of these changes.
