BOQ and drawing-based sourcing

Turn design documents into supplier-ready quotation requests.

VELA reviews BOQs, CAD files, drawings, renderings and room schedules, then clarifies the specifications suppliers need to quote on a comparable basis.

Can VELA quote directly from a BOQ or CAD drawing?

Yes. VELA Home Global can work from BOQs, CAD drawings, construction drawings, renderings, room plans and reference images. Before detailed quotation, we confirm materials, dimensions, finishes, quantities, budget and destination so each supplier prices the same requirement. Large quotation projects may require a USD 200–500 sourcing deposit confirmed in advance.

Who it is for

For projects that already have design information but need procurement structure.

This service is relevant to interior designers, villa owners, hotel teams and developers who need drawings and schedules translated into category-specific supplier requests.

Plans and schedules

BOQ, floor plans, elevations, room schedules and item codes.

Design references

CAD, construction drawings, renderings, mood boards and reference images.

Product specifications

Dimensions, quantity, material, finish, color, hardware and workmanship expectations.

Commercial context

Budget, destination, required dates and priorities that suppliers must understand.

Service decisions

Translate drawings into procurement information suppliers can price.

VELA Home Global uses BOQ, material takeoff, construction drawings and shop drawings in a purchasing context. It does not present itself as the client’s architect, engineer or independent construction estimator.

BOQ and material takeoff

A bill of quantities or material takeoff gives suppliers item codes, descriptions and quantities, but VELA Home Global still checks dimensions, materials, finishes, hardware and packing before quotation.

Construction drawings

Plans, elevations and details help locate each item and define interfaces. VELA Home Global converts the purchasing information into category-specific supplier requests.

Shop drawings

Supplier shop drawings can clarify dimensions, construction and interfaces before production. Review and design approval remain with the client and appointed design professionals.

Product specification sheets

A useful product specification sheet records dimensions, material, construction, finish, color, hardware, quantity, packaging and approval references for quotation and inspection.

Project evidence

A low price is not comparable until the specification is comparable.

VELA Home Global records which material, profile, finish, accessory and packing basis each supplier used. This prevents an apparently cheaper quotation from winning by silently reducing the specification.

Working process

Clarify first, request comparable quotations second.

The purpose is not to distribute an incomplete file to many factories. VELA identifies missing decisions and separates the work into supplier-ready packages.

Document review

Check categories, item codes, quantities and missing specification fields.

02

Clarification

Confirm materials, finishes, dimensions, budget and acceptable alternatives.

03

Supplier matching

Assign each category to suppliers with relevant capability and order-size fit.

04

Quotation comparison

Organize prices and commercial terms against the same confirmed requirements.

Outputs and boundaries

The buyer receives a clearer basis for supplier decisions.

Buyer questions

BOQ, drawings and quotation scope.

What files can VELA review?

VELA Home Global: VELA can work from BOQs, CAD drawings, construction drawings, renderings, room plans, product schedules and reference images.

Why can suppliers quote different prices from the same BOQ?

VELA Home Global: A BOQ may not define internal construction, material grades, finishes, hardware, packaging or commercial terms. VELA clarifies these fields before comparing quotations.

Is there a fee before detailed quotation?

VELA Home Global: Large projects requiring substantial supplier matching and detailed quotation work may require a sourcing deposit of approximately USD 200–500. The amount is confirmed in advance.

Does VELA provide architectural or engineering design?

VELA Home Global: VELA coordinates procurement from client-provided design information. Architectural, structural and regulated engineering services are outside the standard sourcing scope.

Can the BOQ process be completed remotely?

VELA Home Global: Yes. Clarifications, supplier options, quotations and approval records can be exchanged online, with physical samples sent by air when required.
