Bill of Quantities Services

What is a Bill of Quantities?

Bill of Quantities is a structured document that quantifies and itemizes all the materials, labor, and other resources necessary to complete a construction project. This document is created from project drawings and specifications, offering a clear list of all work items that must be priced. 

The BOQ is essential in the tendering process, as it provides a standardized format that ensures all bidders are pricing the same scope of work, which promotes fairness and transparency.

At Bid Estimation Service, we specialize in preparing comprehensive BOQs for construction projects, delivering the precision and clarity that contractors, developers, and project managers need to succeed.

The BOQ covers multiple areas of a construction project, such as:
  • Concrete and Structural Elements: Includes quantities for foundations, walls, and floors.
  • Mechanical and Electrical Systems: Quantifies elements like HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installations.
  • Interior and Exterior Finishes: Accounts for quantities of paint, tiles, roofing materials, and more.
  • Site Preparation and Landscaping: Details quantities needed for earthworks, pavements, and plantings.

With a Bill of Quantities, every detail of the project is captured, helping stakeholders plan and budget with confidence.
