Does QScope handle FIDIC as well as JCT and NEC?

Yes. Set the contract form to FIDIC and the certificate becomes an Interim Payment Certificate valued from the Contractor’s Statement, with the 28 and 56 day sequence counted in calendar days on the 1999 Red Book defaults. The dates are published starting points to verify against your Particular Conditions and jurisdiction.

Can I import a bill rather than typing it?

Yes. If your bill is in an awkward format, send it to support and we will tell you the quickest route rather than leaving you to fight it. Either way the sections and subtotals you priced are preserved.

Does QScope import my cost ledger?

No. The cost side is entered by hand and stays that way. The program has no access to your accounts, and pretending it did would be the worst possible choice in a report about margin.

What happens if two surveyors edit the same project at once?

QScope detects it and warns the second person rather than letting one silently overwrite the other. Losing an afternoon of valuation because a colleague had the job open is not an acceptable failure mode.

Can I export the record?

Yes, to CSV, per project. It opens in Excel with a byte order mark so names with accents are not mangled, which matters when the file goes into a bundle.

Quantity surveying software for UK construction QScope does the QS work where there isn’t a quantity surveyor, and backs up the one you have.

Cost estimates, tendering, variations, valuations and retention, through to the final account.

Who it is for

Pick the one that sounds like your week

What sits underneath is the same project record, but what you are trying to get out of it is not.

You build it

You build it, and there is no QS on the job

QScope answers both questions from your own contract: which date you are on, and what has to go out to hold it.

See how it works

You run it for the client

Check it, certify it, and see the whole position

Whether you are the architect acting as contract administrator, the project manager or the client, you are on the same side of the certificate and you need the same figures.

See how it works

You are the QS

Quantity surveying software built around the QS workflow

Value the job, and the certificate, the retention, the VAT and the payment dates follow from it.

See how it works

You monitor it for the lender

You stand behind the figure the lender releases on

Somebody has to say how much of the facility should be released this month, and stand behind that figure when the money moves.

Interactive demo

Click through QScope on a fictional project

The real program, recorded screen by screen: the dashboard, the estimate, valuations, variations, subcontractors, the programme and the final account. Use the menu on the left as you would in the program. Nothing you click is saved.

Open the interactive demo

QScope project dashboard: contract sum, applied, received, retention held and what the client owes, with the next payment deadline and its four dates, on a fictional project.

What you estimated is what the valuations measure against, what the valuations certified is what the final account adds up.

QScope valuation VAL-01 in draft: three lines with contract value, this valuation per cent and value to date, then gross, retention and net due, on a fictional project. — Real QScope screen, fictional project.

Interim valuations

Value line by line, by percentage or by a fixed sum. Retention calculates as you type and no line passes 100 per cent.

The bill you priced is the bill you value against each month, and the statutory dates are printed on the certificates.

Payment dates

Four dates, counted from your contract, not from ours

You confirm the payment periods once, from your own contract. Everything is counted from them and printed on the certificate and on the notice.

QScope project settings, valuation cycle: payment periods and the schedule of due, notice, pay less and final dates, on a fictional project. — Real QScope screen, fictional project: the valuation cycle in project settings.

Pay less notice

The fourteen days to the final date and the five days for a pay-less notice on this job come from the contract, not from statute, which is why QScope asks you to confirm them rather than assume them.

Miss the payment notice on 7 September and the pay-less notice on 11 September, and you pay £68,400 instead of the £55,436 you certified: £12,964 you never agreed to, on one job, for one missed date.

Built for the commercial side of the job

Every tool here follows the money, from the first estimate to the final account. Most construction software was built for drawings and snagging, then had a money tab added later. QScope starts where the money starts: the bill, the valuation and the certificate.

Every feature, one page each

Work that disappears, and paperwork that arrives

On the left, what a commercial team does by hand most months and stops doing. On the right, what one job set up this afternoon can already put in an envelope. Same change, seen from both ends.

Six things you stop doing

01Rebuilding the valuation sheetThe bill you priced is the bill you value against, every month to the final account. No new tab, no copied formulas, no cell that quietly stopped adding up in March.

02Working out the dates by handConfirm the payment periods once, from your contract. Due date, payment notice, pay-less deadline and final date are counted from them and printed on the paper.

03Chasing what retention is heldFull rate during the works, half after practical completion, released on the date. The notice you send and the figure on your dashboard cannot disagree.

04Assembling the cost report at month endCertified to date is the certificates added up. Anticipated final cost against the approved budget is already there when somebody asks for it on a Friday.

05Reformatting documents before sendingCertificates, notices and reports come out laid out by a practising QS, on your letterhead, ready to go as they are.

06Reconstructing a figure from memoryIssue freezes the rates and the contract context. The trail says who changed which figure and when, and it cannot be edited by anyone, including the account owner.

Six things you can already send

01An interim payment certificateRetention, previously certified and VAT worked out, with every payment date on it.

02A pay-less noticeCarrying the same sum as the certificate, with the deadline already counted.

03A retention noticeWhat is held, by certificate, with both release stages named.

04A cost reportAnticipated final cost against the approved budget, for the client or the funder.

05A variation order and registerInstruction, valuation rule and net effect on the contract sum.

06A guest link for the clientThey see their position and nothing of your cost report. Guests never count towards your plan.

One project, from the first estimate to the final account

QScope is quantity surveying and commercial management software for UK construction. The same record carries the job from the day you price it to the day the account is agreed. What you estimated is what the valuations measure against, what the valuations certified is what the final account adds up.

Nothing is retyped between one stage and the next, so a figure you entered in the first week is still the figure being argued from in the last one.

Try it free for 30 days Your own job and your own contract dates. No card, and nothing to cancel if you walk away.
