Bills of Quantities & Pricing Schedules

Measured work

What a BOQ does

A bill of quantities lists all the measured work in a project. It lets bidders price the same things so you can compare like for like. I measure items clearly and group them so tender returns are easy to read. That reduces guesswork and hidden costs in bids.

Using a BOQ gives you a fair comparison between contractors. It also helps control changes during the build because variations are priced against the original bill. For lenders and clients, a BOQ adds clarity and reduces risk.

Preparing pricing schedules

I prepare simple pricing schedules alongside the BOQ so each contractor can fill their rates and totals. The schedule shows where costs sit and highlights unusual prices. I check returns for arithmetical errors and flag items that look wrong or underpriced.

This makes tender analysis quicker and fairer. You’ll get a clear table of bids and a recommendation on value versus risk.

Using the BOQ on site

Once work starts, the BOQ helps measure actual work and value variations. I use it to agree valuations and interim payments. That keeps payments tied to real progress and lowers arguments about what’s been done. It also speeds up close-out because records are already set out clearly.

With a good BOQ, you’ll see where money was spent and why, from start to finish.
