How OGCS is Driving Efficiency in EPC Contracting

The OGCS boqsor system is at the forefront of managing Unit Rate contracting across several major capital EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) projects.

Designed to streamline complex commercial workflows, boqsor enables real-time oversight and validation of contract execution, ensuring transparency and control throughout the project lifecycle.

At present, boqsor is actively supporting three distinct contracting scenarios.

Post-contract Validation of Quantities and Rates

One project is undergoing post-contract remeasurement validation, where boqsor facilitates the accurate reconciliation of quantities and rates against executed work.

Managing Evolving Commercial Inputs

Another project is engaged in a Bid Update process, leveraging boqsor’s structured interface to manage evolving commercial inputs and maintain auditability.

Managing a Complex Schedule of Rates

A third project involves multiple SOR (Schedule of Rates) bids, where boqsor’s dynamic bidding module allows for comparative analysis and efficient evaluation of competing proposals.

“We have utilized the boqsor system for several of our tenders: OGCS’s boqsor system is one of the best and most complete software platforms that we have used so far.”

Commenting on the system’s performance, Richard Smith (SVP – Commercial Management and Quantity Surveying) noted:

“boqsor is incredibly dynamic. It allows us to manage multiple contracting strategies simultaneously, with full visibility and control. The system adapts to the needs of each project without compromising consistency or compliance.”

Conclusion

With modular architecture and intuitive interface, boqsor is a powerful asset for commercial managers seeking to reduce risk, improve auditability, and accelerate decision-making.

As EPC projects grow in complexity, boqsor continues to prove its value as a cornerstone of modern contract management.

John McCulloch adds a final word: “Let’s not forget AI… The inherent hierarchical structures contained in boqsor’s templates, allow for a dynamic AI interface. This enables efficient and reliable data management that gives our clients access to powerful and predictable project budgeting and real-time cost management ”.
