Bring in the project information

Start with what the contractor already has. DBOT Track takes in the BOQ, the schedule and the rate analysis, with GFC drawings as they become available.

Takeoff inside DBOT Track

The QS validates the GFC drawing and measures the work in the system — so every quantity stays linked to its drawing, BOQ item, schedule and rate analysis.

  1. 1
    Measure on the GFCDraw the shape over the room
  2. 2
    Add a parameterWastage, with its quantity and unit
  3. 3
    Write the formulaCombine shapes and parameters
  4. 4
    EvaluateThe quantity is calculated
Takeoff · 2BHK Floor Tiling
Takeoff: the Living / Dining room is traced on the GFC (24 m²), a Wastage parameter of 1.05 is added, the formula AR × Wastage is entered, and Evaluate gives 25.2 SqM

Lookahead Planning

Leadership and the project manager agree what the team will deliver over the coming period — checked line by line for readiness before it is committed.

  1. 1
    Set the targetLeadership picks a date; the forecast gives the value
  2. 2
    Review readinessThe PM ticks each item or sets an ETA
  3. 3
    Approved LookaheadTrack delivery against the commitment

Work Package Planning

The site engineer turns the approved commitment into executable work: a zone on the drawing, the quantities and value it carries, and a day-by-day plan.

  1. 1
    SelectA line item from the Approved Lookahead
  2. 2
    Mark the zoneQuantity and value come from the takeoff
  3. 3
    Plan the daysSub-activities, resources, SE and QC
Plan Work Package
Work Package: Blockwork is selected, a zone is drawn over the living wing of the GFC giving 30 CUM and ₹3,00,000, then the day-wise plan is filled in

Daily Progress Report

Progress is marked directly on the drawing, and the day's plan is confirmed against what actually happened — quantities and value are calculated, not re-entered.

  1. 1
    Log progressTap a wall, choose how much is done
  2. 2
    Confirm the day's planDone, partly done or not done, with resources used
Daily Progress Report · Apartment 102
DPR: a partition wall is marked 50% done, adding 0.884 CUM and ₹8,838; then the day's sub-activities are confirmed
