Printing and PDF Creation

Print the bill of quantities using the Send document to printer in the toolbar (1), select the FILE - PRINT menu command or select the Print menu item in the bill of quantities's context menu in the outline (3).

The Print form window opens. In the list field on the right above the OK and Cancel buttons, you have the choice between:

  • Bill of Quantities (Bidder View): Does not contain any prices, output for the tender documents.
  • Bill of Quantities (Internal Data): Contains all estimated prices and internal notes, output for internal coordination and documentation.

In the bill of quantities for the tender documents (bidder view), all input fields with a colored background are mandatory fields, i.e. they must be filled in. Optional fields are only marked by a black underline. Empty checkboxes also have a colored background.

Evaluation criteria that do not require a bidder's response are displayed as crossed-out fields in the bidder view of the BQ printout.

Criterion without bidder response. The response field is empty here.
