We currently use a fully working Excel-based MEP cost estimation workbook for pricing MEP projects.
All main formulas, calculations, and estimating logic already exist in the Excel workbook. I am **not looking for someone to develop the estimating methodology from scratch**.
I need a developer to convert this workflow into a simple, flexible, database-driven web application.
### Core Requirement
Each BOQ item must be flexible and can be priced using **any number of cost components**.
For example, if I am pricing an insulated pipe item, I should be able to add:
* Pipe
* Fittings
* Supports
* Insulation
* Cladding
* Labor
* Painting
* Accessories
* Any other required component
For each component, I should be able to select data from a **Master Database**, such as:
**Category → Specification → Size → Brand/Manufacturer → Supplier**
The system should then automatically retrieve the **latest available price** from the database.
Example:
**Insulation → 25 mm → Armaflex → selected manufacturer → latest stored price**
The same concept should work for pipes, fittings, valves, supports, equipment, cables, ductwork, accessories, labor, etc.
I should also be able to:
* Add unlimited cost components to any BOQ item
* Use predefined costing templates when useful
* Add or remove components manually
* Override a database price manually when required
* Fix/freeze a selected price for a specific project
* Update master prices periodically in one central database
* Use the updated prices automatically in future projects
* Keep historical project prices unchanged unless I intentionally update them
### Other Requirements
* Create and manage projects
* Import or enter BOQ items
* Maintain the existing Excel formulas and calculation logic
* Master database for materials, weights, specifications, brands, suppliers, labor rates, standard factors and equipment prices
* Different costing templates for pipes, ductwork, equipment, etc.
* Indirect cost, overhead and profit calculations
* Copy an existing project as a starting point for a new tender
* Excel import/export
* Simple and professional interface
* Full source code ownership
* No mandatory monthly software subscription
* Standalone database-driven application
This is **NOT an ERP, Odoo implementation, AI project, or company website**.
The objective is to make our existing Excel estimating process faster and easier by avoiding repeated data entry and creating a reusable central cost database.
The existing Excel workbook will be provided to shortlisted developers to demonstrate the formulas and current workflow.
Please send 1–2 examples of similar costing, quotation, database-driven business applications, or Excel-to-web applications you have developed.
