This is the canonical reference for what Conio's importer expects from a BOQ table, a Standard Rate table, or a Resource Price Book, whether the source is a Google Sheet or a local .xlsx/.xls/.csv file. All three go through the same Import Dataset drawer — see Importing BOQ Tables, Importing Rate Tables, and Resource Price Book for the click-through steps.
A Bill of Quantities (BOQ) table is the foundation of every project in Conio. It defines what work needs to be priced: the descriptions, quantities, and units.
A rate table contains the unit rates your project will be priced against. Each row is a work item with a description, unit, and unit rate. Conio matches BOQ items against this table to produce a priced bill.
The Resource Price Book holds unit rates for every material, labour category, and equipment type used in the project. The AI generates quantities and crew configurations — it never sets prices. All rates come exclusively from the price book.
The Template Library stores pre-verified resource breakdowns (materials, labour, equipment) for known work types. Templates are the backbone of consistent, scalable URA generation — once a template exists for a work type, every future item of the same type can be built from it rather than generated cold from scratch.
