I provide professional Bills of Quantities (BOQ) services to support accurate tendering, transparent pricing, and effective cost control on construction projects.
As an independent Quantity Surveyor, I prepare detailed, clearly structured bills of quantities that allow contractors to price works on a like-for-like basis, reducing risk, ambiguity, and disputes during construction.
What Is a Bill of Quantities?
A Bill of Quantities is a detailed document that describes and measures construction works in a structured format. It enables contractors to submit accurate, comparable tenders and provides a reliable basis for cost control during the project.
Well-prepared BOQs help to:
Reduce pricing inconsistencies
Minimise provisional sums and assumptions
Improve tender returns
Control costs during construction
BOQ Services Offered
My Bills of Quantities services include:
Measurement & Documentation
Preparation of detailed BOQs measured from drawings and specifications in accordance with recognised measurement standards.
Tender BOQs
BOQs prepared specifically for competitive tendering, supporting clear pricing and transparent contractor comparisons.
Contract BOQs
BOQs forming part of the contract documentation, providing a firm basis for interim valuations and variation assessment.
Schedule of Rates
Preparation of schedules of rates where full BOQs are not appropriate or required.
Who Needs a Bill of Quantities?
BOQ services are commonly used by:
Architects preparing projects for tender
Homeowners seeking clarity on build costs
Builders and contractors pricing works
Small developers managing cost certainty
Whether for a house extension, renovation, or new-build project, a BOQ provides clarity and cost control.
Why Use an Independent QS for BOQs?
Using an independent Quantity Surveyor ensures:
Objective, unbiased measurement
Clear and consistent descriptions
Reduced risk of omissions or disputes
Improved cost certainty
You receive a document that supports both tendering and construction, not just pricing.
My Approach to BOQ Preparation
Each BOQ is prepared using a clear, methodical process:
Review of drawings, specifications, and scope
Measurement and description of works
Preparation of structured BOQ document
Issue for tender and clarification support (if required)
This ensures accuracy, transparency, and reliability.
