Build estimates you can defend
Green Schedule turns the CPWD DSR, DAR and PAR 2023 schedules into a complete, audit-proof estimate — every rate justified and traceable back to the published schedule, in hours instead of days.
Engineering Cost Intelligence for CPWD estimation — not project scheduling. "Schedule" here means Schedule of Rates.
Green Schedule supports the estimator and engineer of record. It does not replace commercial or engineering judgement, and it is not project-scheduling or billing software.
Rate justification is where CPWD tenders get won — or sent back
- Proving that a quoted rate reconciles to the published CPWD DSR or DAR analysis is a manual, cross-referencing exercise — DSR items, DAR component build-ups, basic material rates, and loadings, checked by hand across PDF rate books and Excel.
- When a rate is questioned in scrutiny or audit, the justification has to hold up on its own — and a hand-built spreadsheet that doesn't reconcile cleanly gets sent back.
- Missing or mis-keyed serial numbers and stale rates create exactly the kind of client-facing surprise CPWD estimation can't afford.
- Green Schedule exists because rate justification — not data entry — is the sharpest, costliest part of CPWD tendering, and the part most estimation tools treat as an afterthought.
Green Schedule was built to make rate justification audit-proof — not to replace the estimator's judgement.
From CPWD rate schedule to a justified, tender-ready estimate
Green Schedule structures the path from DSR/DAR item selection to a fully reconciled, exportable estimate — keeping every rate traceable back to the published CPWD schedule.
- 01
CPWD Knowledge
Green Schedule is built on the CPWD DSR, DAR and PAR 2023 schedules — the full published rate book, structured and searchable by exact serial number.
- 02
Engineering Quantities
Quantities are entered against the selected DSR/DAR items, matching the measured or estimated scope of work.
- 03
Rate Analysis
Contractor's profit & overhead, water charges, GST and cess are applied to build up a fully loaded rate for each item.
- 04
Rate Justification
Every loaded rate reconciles back to the published CPWD rate — the exact reconciliation a tender submission has to show.
- 05
Tender Documentation
The priced estimate is compiled into a tender-ready BOQ, NIT and Schedule of Quantities.
- 06
Tender Confidence
The estimator reviews the finished package — every rate justified, every number defensible under scrutiny.
Deliverables built for tender submission
Green Schedule is built around the outputs a CPWD tender actually needs — not just a schedule, but a defensible one.
Estimate & Rate Justification (Excel)
A priced BOQ with every rate reconciled to the published CPWD rate and the deviation from market shown line by line.
Tender Documents (Word NIT)
A dependency-free NIT/tender document, Schedule of Quantities, and Approved Makes list, generated from the same estimate.
Budgetary (PAR) Estimate
An early-stage, plinth-area-based costing for when a full DSR/DAR estimate isn't needed yet.
Built to be defensible, not just fast
Reconciles to the Published Rate
Every priced and analysed item is validated against the CPWD DSR/DAR/PAR 2023 schedule — not just calculated, reconciled.
Deterministic by Design
No AI, no black box. A rule-based rate engine means the same inputs always produce the same, explainable justification.
Verified Data Completeness
Every DSR, DAR and PAR line item is audited against the source CPWD 2023 PDFs, with exact serial numbers preserved.
The Estimator Stays in Control
Loadings, custom items, and every final rate remain editable. Green Schedule justifies the numbers; the estimator owns them.
Green Schedule does not replace commercial sign-off or the responsibility of the engineer of record.

CPWD Item Selection
DSR and DAR items are added by serial number, with quantities and market rates.
Estimate Overview
A structured view of the priced estimate — justified rate and deviation from market, line by line.
Rate Justification Detail
A single item, with the CPWD reconciliation and loadings behind its rate.
Review and Export
The estimate is reviewed and exported as a tender-ready BOQ, NIT, and Schedule of Quantities.
Focused scope. Transparent limitations.
- Green Schedule is focused on CPWD DSR, DAR and PAR 2023 estimation, rate justification, budgetary costing, and tender-document generation.
- It is not project-scheduling or Gantt software — "Schedule" refers to the Schedule of Rates, not a project timeline.
- It is not billing, running-account (RA), or accounting software.
- It is not a BIM or drawing-based quantity-takeoff tool — measurement is manual (length × breadth × height) entry.
- There is no AI or LLM feature in the current build — the rate engine is deterministic and rule-based by design.
- Green Schedule is single-user today; team roles (estimator, reviewer, approver) are not yet available.
- The estimator and engineer of record remain responsible for every final commercial and engineering decision.
Questions engineering and tender teams usually ask
Is Green Schedule a project-scheduling or Gantt tool?
"Schedule" in Green Schedule refers to the CPWD Schedule of Rates (DSR/DAR/PAR), not a project timeline. Green Schedule does not do project scheduling, Gantt charts, or time management.
Does Green Schedule use AI?
No. The rate engine is deterministic and rule-based — the same inputs always produce the same, explainable justification. That predictability is intentional: it is what an audit-ready tool needs, not a limitation.
What does Green Schedule actually produce?
A priced estimate with a rate justification that reconciles every item to the published CPWD rate, plus tender-ready outputs: an Excel BOQ, a Word NIT/tender document, a Schedule of Quantities, an Approved Makes list, and an optional PAR budgetary estimate.
Which CPWD schedules does it cover?
The full CPWD 2023 DSR, DAR and PAR datasets, audited line by line against the source PDFs, with exact serial numbers preserved.
How does Green Schedule justify a rate?
Each item's rate is built from the DAR component analysis — labour, materials, and loadings such as contractor's profit & overhead, water charges, GST and cess — and reconciled back to the published CPWD rate, with the deviation from market rate shown alongside it.
Can I add items that aren't in the CPWD schedule?
Yes. Custom items carry both a reference rate and a market rate, and flow into the same rate-justification and deviation view as scheduled items.
Does Green Schedule replace the estimator or the engineer of record?
No. Green Schedule structures the estimate and surfaces the reasoning behind every rate for review. The estimator and engineer of record remain responsible for final commercial and engineering decisions.
What does a pilot engagement involve?
A pilot rebuilds one real, recent tender in Green Schedule — estimate, rate justification, and Excel BOQ, end to end — so you can compare the output and the time taken against your current method.
Start with one real tender
We're working with CPWD estimators and contracting firms who want to rebuild a real, recent tender in Green Schedule — estimate, rate justification, and Excel BOQ, end to end — and compare it against their current process.
