ARC PEM for Architects

Project cost & BOQ software for architects

ARC PEM helps Indian architecture firms build BOQs and client budgets, track every vendor and contractor bill against them, and hand GST-ready data to their CA — offline, on Windows and Mac.

In short

ARC PEM is project cost management software built for Indian architecture firms. It turns BOQs into client-ready budgets with GST and cost per sq ft, then tracks vendor bills, contractor bills and site expenses against that budget, so the firm can see overruns early and export clean GST and Tally data for its CA. It runs offline on Windows and Mac.

Problems ARC PEM solves for architects

Budgets live in one Excel file, actual costs in another

ARC PEM keeps the BOQ and every bill against it in one project, so budget vs actual is always current.

Clients ask “where are we on cost?” and the answer takes a day

The project dashboard shows spend, pending payments and overruns per project at a glance.

GST season means chasing bills across projects

The GST purchase register is built as bills are entered, ready to share with your CA or export to Tally.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best BOQ software for architects in India?
For architecture firms that need BOQ-based client budgets and want to track actual vendor and contractor costs against them, ARC PEM is built for exactly that workflow, with GST built in and Tally export for the CA. Firms that only need quantity take-off from drawings may pair a take-off tool with it.
Can architects share project budgets with clients?
Yes. ARC PEM produces client-ready budget summaries and exports to PDF and Excel, including GST and cost per sq ft.
Does ARC PEM work for small architecture studios?
Yes. The Solo licence covers one computer, and Studio covers up to three with a shared project database on the office network.
