​
What are Bills of Quantities And How We Can Help
​
A Bill of Quantities (BoQ) is a precise, itemised list of all construction tasks within a project—broken into measurable units describing materials, labour, and scope. It sets out exactly what work is needed so everyone shares a clear understanding of the project’s requirements.
​
Kingsmead’s team includes RICS-regulated Chartered Quantity Surveyors, ensuring high standards for measurement and costing:
-
Accurate Quantifications: Every material and labour unit is calculated with care.
-
Shared Understanding: Deliverables and expectations are clearly laid out for all involved.
-
Enhanced Tender Accuracy: Contractors submit bids based on well‑structured data, reducing risk.
-
Industry Best Practices: Methods like NRM (New Rules of Measurement) and SMM7 are used to meet industry compliance and ensure consistency.​
​
Why a Bill of Quantities Matters
Bills of Quantities (BoQs) add value in multiple ways:
-
Clarity & Transparency: Ensure everyone—clients, contractors, suppliers—is aligned on project scope and costs.
-
Precision in Costing: Avoid unexpected expenses or inflated prices with reliable cost estimates.
-
Better Tendering: Contractors can bid competitively and accurately, reducing disputes or post-contract variations.
