Materials Order List from your BOQ.
You won the job. Now get your ordering done, fast. Send us your bill of quantities and we return a clean materials order list, sorted and ready to send straight to your supplier.
No other plumbing estimating firm in Australia offers standalone BOQ to materials order list conversion. Most only work with their own documents. We work with any BOQ from any source.
A BOQ is not an order list.
You have a bill of quantities. Now someone has to sit down, go through every line, strip out the labour, sort the materials by type and size, consolidate the quantities and produce a clean list ready to send to your supplier. On a large job that is a full day of work.
A bill of quantities contains everything: labour hours, material costs, preliminaries, allowances. A materials order list contains only one thing, the materials you need to order, in the right quantities, sorted so you can actually place the order.

We extract the materials
All labour lines are removed. Every material line item is identified, categorised by type, size and specification, and consolidated where duplicates appear across different floors or zones. Nothing is skipped.

What contractors say.
Verified Google reviews. 5.0 from 69 reviews.
We’ve been incredibly impressed with the responsiveness and professionalism of SNZ. Quick to respond, thorough in their work, and consistently reliable. Their attention to detail has made a real difference to our workflow. We see them as a valuable long-term partner.
Worth every penny. SNZ estimated a large commercial hydraulic, civil and fire package in SA on a tight timeline. Within 24 hours they had started on our quote. Their detailed estimate provided everything we needed to fill in the tender documents with ease.
Shoaib and the team went over and above to deliver in a tight timeframe. Everything was detailed and communication was 10/10. The breakdown was very thorough and transparent covering all aspects of the job. Will definitely be using SNZ on future projects.
Common questions.
Do I need to have used SNZ for the estimate?
No. It does not matter who prepared your BOQ, another estimating firm, your own QS, your site supervisor or a head contractor package. If it contains a materials schedule, we can convert it.
What formats do you accept?
Excel, PDF or Word. The more detail in your source document, the more detailed your order list will be.
What is the difference between a BOQ and a materials order list?
A bill of quantities contains everything: labour hours, material costs, preliminaries and allowances. A materials order list contains only the materials you need to order, in the right quantities, sorted so you can place the order.
How is the order list organised?
As a clean Excel spreadsheet grouped by supplier category: pipe, fittings, fixtures, valves, tapware, hot water and mechanical, with quantities consolidated across floors and zones.
Can I send it straight to my supplier?
Yes. Forward it directly to Reece, Plumbing Plus, Tradelink or your preferred supplier, or use it as your on-site materials checklist.
