Why South African Contractors Choose Sqwizflow

Built for SA. Powered by AI. Priced for everyone.

Sqwizflow AI is built from the ground up for South African contractors — not a global product retrofitted to our market. We understand CIDB grading, local supplier networks, and the reality of tendering in SA.

You don't need a dedicated IT department or a certified Candy specialist. Upload your BOQ and get priced results in minutes, with no training required.

At R399/month, you get AI-powered BOQ pricing that would cost you R500k+ with CCS. That's not a discount — that's a different category of product built for modern tendering.

Where RIB CCS (Candy) Falls Short

The gaps that cost you tenders

Requires extensive training — learning curve measured in months

No AI-powered BOQ extraction — manual data entry from tender documents
No automated market pricing — relies on internal cost databases
South African market not prioritised — global product with limited local support
No CIDB compliance automation built in
