Bill of Quantities (BoQ)/ Takeoffs
What do we mean?
We know terms like ‘Bill of Quantities’ or ‘takeoffs’ can sound technical, but really, it’s just a clear breakdown of everything your project will need. By setting this out in detail, contractors can price the work accurately, and if you’d like, we can also provide our own pricing so you can compare and make fully informed decisions with confidence.
Here's how it works...
Step 1
We’ll start with a free consultation where you can share the basics of your project. This is your chance to tell us what you have in mind, and we’ll explain how we will create a bill of quantities for you.
Step 2
Once we’ve gathered the drawings and project details, we’ll prepare a detailed Bill of Quantities. This breaks the project down into clear, itemised sections, making it easy for contractors to price accurately. If you choose, we can also provide our own pricing so you have a reliable benchmark to compare against.
Step 3
With the Bill of Quantities complete, we’ll sit down with you to review it in detail. We’ll explain how the costs are broken down, highlight any areas where savings could be made, and ensure you feel confident using the document to compare contractor prices, or against our own pricing if you’ve chosen that option.
Step 4
The final step is using the Bill of Quantities as a solid foundation for tendering and managing costs. With everything set out clearly, you’ll be able to compare contractor prices on a like-for-like basis, avoid misunderstandings, and enter into contracts with confidence that the scope and costs are fully understood.
