Bill of Quantities (BOQ)

Tendering is an important step in construction projects since it allows the comparison of several offers under equal terms. During the tendering process, project owners issue a Bill of Quantities (BOQ) to the bidding contractors. The BOQ is a document that breaks down the project scope by work items and quantities, ensuring that all contractors quote the same amounts of work. The BOQ is useful as a tracking tool during the construction process, and it can be combined with the project schedule for cost planning:

At the end of the project, the BOQ can be filled with the actual work quantities to check discrepancies with the original quantities. This results in additional payment for the contractor if the actual work is more than planned, but the contractor may also owe money to the owner for items where the actual work was less. Our quantity surveyors can help you prepare the BoQ for any kind of project.
