What Is a Bill of Quantities?

Often referred to as BoQs, the Bill of Quantities is a beneficial document that can be used to gain accurate projections regarding the quantities of each item needed in a proposed construction project.

A Bill of Quantities is similar to a Schedule of Works, as both documents are used at the tendering stage. However, a bill of quantities provides all the measured quantities so that when the document is sent to contractors, you know that each builder is pricing against accurate quantities.
