Step two · the build
Your BOQ is just the front door
When you're ready to build, your Bill of Quantities becomes a live project. You, your project manager, your contractor and your suppliers all work from one screen — so you always know exactly where your money and your house are.
Your house, rising in real time — updated from site each day.
Daily site photos
Your contractor uploads progress straight from site. Watch every stage happen — even from the diaspora.
12 build stages
Foundation, slab, walls, roof, glazing, finishes… tracked to handover with a live view of your house rising.
Materials management
Every material from your BOQ tracked from order to delivery, shared with your suppliers.
Cash tracking
See what's spent against budget at every stage. No surprises, no leaks.

Questions
How accurate is the BOQ?＋
Quantities follow the same estimation rules BSMG uses on real builds (90–180m² houses across Harare). Every BOQ is reviewed by our estimator before release, and material rates are updated as the market moves.
What happens after I get my BOQ?＋
When you're ready to build, we turn your BOQ into a live project. Your project manager, contractor and suppliers each get a secure login, post daily photos and material updates, and you track every stage and every dollar all the way to handover — no more scattered WhatsApp messages.
I'm in the diaspora — can I use this for a build back home?＋
That's exactly who we built the platform for. Get a costed BOQ before any money leaves your account, then watch your house rise with daily site photos and live cash tracking — and hold your contractor to a written bill and signed-off stages, all from your phone abroad.
What if my plan photo is unclear?＋
We'll ask you to confirm the floor area and wall height instead of guessing, and our estimator double-checks everything before your BOQ is released.
How do I pay?＋
Paynow (EcoCash, Visa/Mastercard) right on the site, or pay manually and confirm on WhatsApp — your download unlocks as soon as we confirm. When you build with us, you can also lay-by your materials through ZimLayby.
