It also (ideally) details the terms and conditions of the construction or repair contract and itemizes all work to enable a contractor to price the work for which he or she is bidding.The quantities may be measured in number, length, area, volume, weight or time.<\/p>\n<p>Preparing a bill of quantities requires that the design is complete and a <a href=\"https:\/\/examchum.uk\/landscape-architecture\/specification\/\">specification<\/a> has been prepared. It is issued to <a href=\"https:\/\/examchum.uk\/landscape-architecture\/preparing-a-list-of-tenderers\/\">tenderers<\/a> for them to prepare a price for carrying out the construction work. The bill of quantities assists tenderers in the calculation of construction costs for their tender, and, as it means all tendering contractors will be pricing the same quantities (rather than taking-off quantities from the drawings and specifications themselves), it also provides a fair and accurate system for tendering.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5>READ MORE<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bill_of_quantities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bill of Quantities (Wikipedia)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5>RELATED VIDEOS<\/h5>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"sc-youtube sc-wrapbox sc-wrapbox-style-default rounded-corners sc-wrapbox-position-below\" style=\"width: 100%;height: 300px;\"><div class=\"sc-wrapbox-inner\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"sc-wrapbox-element img-responsive\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LiSAMWyNxCs?rel=0&amp;wmode=opaque\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Bill of Quantities (BoQ) is a document used in\u00a0tendering\u00a0in the\u00a0construction\u00a0industry in which\u00a0materials, parts, and labor (and their costs) are itemized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11074,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[153,20],"tags":[611,543,423,115,478,573,283],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What is a Bill of Quantities (BoQ)?
