Problem 2: It is very manaul and error prone to prepare Bill of Quantities/Materials in arch/engineering sector. Most firms rely on Excel. Once the data has been put in excel, there is no way to split/sort/question about the data. You cannot for example generate material bill for all 2nd floor electrical works, or say get me all reinforcement details for foundation.

The only cloud based one I know is Stack[0]
