Intelligent Quantity Management (IQ): Transforming Engineering Project Execution

At Deltana Ingeniería, we understand that managing quantities in large infrastructure and construction projects is the fundamental pillar for cost control and successful execution. We introduce Intelligent Quantity Management (IQ), our new paradigm that evolves the traditional Quantity Take-Off (QTO) into an integral system of quantitative intelligence designed for the execution phase.
IQ is not just a review of blueprints; it is a strategic approach that ensures your project operates on a data foundation that is 100% verified, objective, and aligned with the reality of the construction site.
The Challenges of Current Execution
Modern projects face a critical reality: the initial tender estimate (Bidding BOQ) is often optimized to win the contract, not to serve as an accurate guide for starting the work.
-
This chronic underestimation and lack of a solid baseline cause deviations that result in recurrent cost overruns, which, on average, exceed 20% in mega-projects.
-
The site team, often different from the estimating team, frequently questions the tender quantities when execution begins.
Intelligent Quantity (IQ) from Deltana is the answer to this deficit, providing a measurable competitive advantage that maximizes your financial return and minimizes risks.
Our IQ Value Proposition: The "Baseline of Truth"
The heart of IQ is the establishment of an objective, third-party, and independent Baseline for the execution phase—a "Certified Baseline of Truth".
This Baseline is a quantitative foundation that is 100% verified and restructured according to the interests of the execution (by phases, location, or subcontracts), eliminating ambiguities from day one.
