Product
Accurate estimates. A budget that sticks.
Import any BOQ, estimate with your own rates and assemblies, get it approved, and carry the winning estimate straight into the project budget — no retyping, no drift.
The status quo
Without Orgin3
- Spreadsheets where a decimal error hides in thousands of rows
- Estimates that never link back to the BOQ the client issued
- Winning bids whose numbers are lost before project setup
- No visibility into margin erosion until the month-end review
- Rates and markups scattered across folders and email
The Orgin3 outcome
With Orgin3
- Excel/CSV BOQ import with a structured item master
- Assemblies and historical rates so takeoffs stay consistent
- Configurable approval workflows for each estimate revision
- Margin and risk analysis before you submit the bid
- A single handoff that seeds the project budget and procurement plan

In depth
Built around the way BOQ & Estimation teams work
The winning estimate becomes the project's commercial baseline
Orgin3 is built around the reality that the estimate you win with is the baseline you deliver against. The approved estimate flows straight into Project Cost Control, so budget, commitments, and actuals are all measured against the same numbers — from day one.
- One approved estimate per opportunity, versioned and locked
- Baseline connects directly to WBS and cost codes
- Budget, committed cost, and actuals all reference the estimate
- Variance reporting compares actuals back to the winning bid
BOQ-driven, not cell-driven
Estimation starts where the client ends: a structured BOQ. Orgin3 imports it, maps it to your item master, and surfaces the rates and productivity rules that produce consistent, defensible numbers.
- Excel import validates structure and flags missing codes
- Item master enforces your standard rates and units
- Assemblies propagate changes across recurring scope
- Takeoff summaries roll up to summary and trade totals
Margin protection before you submit
Estimating is the last place you want a margin surprise. Orgin3 shows gross margin, contribution, and risk exposure on every revision so you can price the job — and protect the margin — before it's too late.
- Live margin on every line and summary total
- Contingency and markup applied per approval tier
- Revision history compares margin movement between bids
- Approval gates trigger when margin drops below threshold
