Talk to our team
How are measurement sheets linked to the Contract BOQ?

Measurement sheets are created directly against approved Contract BOQ line items. This keeps traceability to the original contract scope and quantities, maintains cumulative quantity tracking and prevents measurement outside contract boundaries.

Can field teams record measurements in Excel?

Yes. Wrench SmartProject generates standardized JMS templates that can be exported to Excel for field data entry. Completed sheets are imported back into the platform, where automatic validation and quantity checks are applied.

Who verifies and approves a Joint Measurement Sheet?

Consultants and owners verify each sheet through a configurable, multi-level approval workflow with digital review and comments. All completed work is measured and approved jointly, and the digital records are stored permanently.

Is there an audit trail of approvals and comments?

Yes. The approval workflow keeps a complete approval history and audit trail, and reviews and comments are captured digitally within the same workflow. These documented, mutually agreed records help reduce commercial disputes.

How are Interim Payment Certificates generated from an approved JMS?

Once a JMS is approved, Interim Payment Certificates can be generated directly from it. Approved quantities flow automatically into billing, which eliminates manual duplication and reduces billing cycle time in one path from measurement to approval, certification and payment.

Can measurement go beyond contract quantities?

No - the platform prevents measurement outside contract boundaries. Every sheet is created against approved Contract BOQ line items, and cumulative quantity tracking with automatic quantity checks keeps each measurement traceable to the original contract scope and quantities.
