BILL OF QUANTITIES

A bill of quantities (sometimes referred to as a 'BoQ' or 'BQ') is a document,


typically prepared by a cost consultant (often a quantity surveyor) that
provides measured quantities of the items of work identified by the drawings
and specifications in the tender documentation for a project.

It is issued to tenderers for them to prepare a price for carrying out the works.
Measurement and description is undertaken by group elements, with each
group element forming a separate section of the bill of quantities, irrespective of the
order of work sections in NRM 2. Group elements are sub-divided through the use of
elements, which are further sub-divided by sub-elements,

WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE (WBS)

A work breakdown structure (WBS) is a system of breaking down a project or


programme into manageable tasks, phases, deliverables or work packages (subdivision
of effort).

However, it is not a recipe for how a project should be constructed nor is it just a list
of tasks, a schedule or an organisation chart - although it provides a basis from which
a schedule or task list can be created.
According to
NRM2, RICS new rules of measurement, Detailed measurement for building work,
there are three main breakdown structures for bill of quantities (BQBS):
-Elemental
-Work section
-Work package

TOOLS & TECHNIQUES TO CREAT THE WORK PACKGAES

Decomposition
Decomposition is a technique used for dividing and subdividing the project scope and
project deliverables into smaller, more manageable parts. Activities represent the
effort needed to complete a work package. The
TYPES OF BOQ
1. Firm BOQ
A firm bill of quantities is used to obtain a lump-sum price for a fully-designed
project. The work required is measured and described precisely, meaning that it
can be priced accurately. As a result, tender prices should be reliable and good
financial control should be possible. Where changes are necessary to the works
described in the tender documents, the bill of quantities provides a good basis for
assessing the costs of those changes.

2. Approximate BOQ

An approximate bill of quantities (sometimes referred to as a


notional bill of quantities or provisional bill of quantities) is subject to
re-measurement, and is used if there is insufficient information to prepare a
firm bill of quantities at the tender stage.
