What is a Bill of Quantity?

A Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is a detailed and organized document that outlines and measures all materials, labor, and resources required to carry out a construction project. Developed from the project’s drawings and technical specifications, it presents a clear breakdown of work items that need to be costed.

The BOQ plays a vital role in the tendering phase, offering a consistent framework that ensures all bidders evaluate the same scope of work—promoting transparency and equitable comparison.

At Structmate, we are experts in producing accurate and detailed BOQs for construction projects throughout Australia, providing the clarity and reliability that contractors, developers, and project managers depend on for successful project delivery.

Our Proven Process for Accurate BOQ Preparation

1. Detailed Project Study
- Review drawings, specifications, and scope documents thoroughly and clarify ambiguities with clients, consultants, or designers.
2. Systematic Work Breakdown
Divide the project into logical sections (e.g., substructure, superstructure, finishes, MEP).
3. Accurate Quantity Take-Offs
Measure quantities systematically from drawings and use consistent and correct units (e.g., m², m³, number, meter). Apply appropriate wastage factors where required and utilize digital tools for efficient and precise take-offs.
4. Clear and Comprehensive Item Descriptions
Prepare detailed descriptions for every BOQ item and include material types, work specifications, locations, and special notes.
5. Application of Standard Measurement Rules
Ensure consistency and compliance across all BOQ items.
6. Logical Organization and Structuring
Arrange BOQ sections clearly, logically, provide summaries and clear numbering for easy navigation.
7. Rigorous Quality Control
Cross-check all measurements, units, and descriptions and confirm full coverage of the project scope.
8. Professional Formatting and Presentation
Deliver the BOQ in client-specified or industry-standard formats and ensure a clear, readable structure with proper headings and layouts.
9. Ongoing Revisions and Updates
Update the BOQ as required during the design development or tendering stages and reflect design changes or client instructions promptly.
