Work & Material Management -
Manage Vendors. Master Every Material.
Extract quantities directly from DWG drawings, map them to materials and vendors, track service orders and deliveries, and reconcile site inventory against actual consumption, all within BuildNova AI’s Work & Material Management platform.

Inventory Visibility
Vendor Management
Engineering-to-Execution Workflow
Manual Process Is Causing EPC Pipeline Bottlenecks
EPC timelines are getting shorter while project sizes and site complexity increase. Yet vendor coordination, material planning, purchase tracking, and inventory reconciliation still rely on spreadsheets, calls, and manual updates.
That creates:
Slower procurement cycles
That leave less room to respond to tight bid and execution timelines
Errors and rework
That multiply across large BOQs, vendors, warehouses, and project sites
Limited procurement capacity
As experienced teams spend time chasing updates and reconciling records
Broken handoffs
Between engineering, procurement, stores, and site execution teams
Poor material visibility
That can lead to excess inventory, shortages, delayed deliveries, and avoidable project costs
The issue lies not with procurement personnel but with a fragmented, manual process that lacks dedicated procurement management software.
One Workflow for Vendors, Materials, and Procurement.
Work & Material Management is BuildNova AI’s specialised solar material management software and inventory control module, built into its platform. It connects DWG drawings, BOQs, purchase requisitions, vendors, site inventory, and joint measurement sheets into one unified workflow.
No disconnected tools or fragmented handoffs. Plan, procure, track, and reconcile materials from one source of truth.
Core Capability Modules
Procurement built for the way EPCs operate.
From engineering output to procurement.
General arrangement layouts, sectional views, and trench-level details flow directly into material quantification and procurement planning.
One BOQ across disciplines.
Generate consolidated civil and electrical quantities from the same design, reducing manual takeoffs and discrepancies between teams.
Traceability beyond delivery
Track material movement from vendor dispatch to site receipt, transfer, and usage, extending visibility into construction and billing workflow.
Scale without process gaps
Support various-sized projects through utility and GW-scale plants with consistent procurement and inventory workflows.
Configured to your standards.
Adapt drawing formats, BOQ templates, JMS formats, and reports to project and client-specific requirements.
Native to BuildNova AI
Run procurement and material workflows within the platform your engineering and project teams already use, without adding another system to the stack.
What Changes with Automated Procurement
Faster BOQ Preparation.
Automate quantity extraction from DWG drawings and maintain a centralised repository of project and material data.
Streamlined Procurement.
Align purchase requisitions with engineering outputs and connect material requirements with procurement workflows.
Better Team Coordination.
Assign and track project tasks with clear ownership and visibility across engineering, procurement, and site teams.
Improved Inventory Accuracy
Reconcile planned and actual material quantities across warehouses and project sites to identify discrepancies.
End-to-End Material Traceability.
Track material movement across stores and sites, from receipt and transfer to issue and usage.
Simplified Quantity Verification.
Digitise Joint Measurement Sheets (JMS) to capture, verify, and document measured quantities.
Connected Project Workflows.
Bring BOQ extraction, procurement, work management, inventory, and material tracking together in one system, reducing fragmented processes.
Simplify procurement with BuildNova AI.
See how vendors, materials and site inventory come together in one workflow, on your own project data.
