Why a Detailed BOQ Protects You
A bill of quantities (BOQ) lists every item of work with its specification, unit, quantity, rate and amount. It lets you compare contractors like for like, see exactly which brands and grades you are paying for, and track any change to the scope with its cost before it happens.
| Item | Description & specification | Unit | Quantity | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| e.g. RCC slab | Concrete grade, steel grade and thickness as per structural drawing | cu ft / sq ft | From drawings | PKR per unit | Quantity × rate |
Before signing, check that the BOQ: names brands and grades, uses quantities taken from drawings, separates provisional sums, lists exclusions, and links payments to completed stages.
