Construction estimating insights

What Is a Bill of Quantities?

A bill of quantities (BOQ) is a structured document that describes measured work items and quantities for a construction project. It can help contractors price a tender consistently and give project teams a clearer basis for comparison.

Why it matters

A well-prepared BOQ is built from the project drawings, specifications and scope. The level of detail depends on the procurement route and project requirements.

For contractors and construction professionals

For contractors, the value is consistency. Instead of measuring every item from scratch while a tender deadline is approaching, a clear schedule gives the estimating team an organised starting point.
