Takeoff or BOQ?

A takeoff measures it. A BOQ makes it ready to price.

A Bill of Quantities takes measured quantities and organises them into a described, itemised document, with units, quantities and costs for every line, so it can go straight into a tender, a budget or a cost plan. Only need quantities? See takeoffs.

BOQ FAQs

Common questions about our BOQs.

Something else on your mind? See general FAQs or ask us directly.

What does “indicative” mean?

Your BOQ is costed using the rates and pricing data you provide. It gives you a structured, itemised basis for pricing and planning that your team then reviews and finalises.

Which measurement standard do you follow?

We format BOQs to the recognised industry-standard method relevant to your project, or to a specific standard you nominate.

Can the BOQ follow our cost codes or trade split?

Yes. Share your template, cost codes or package breakdown and we’ll structure the bill to match.

Can you turn an existing takeoff into a BOQ?

Yes. If you already have measured quantities, we can organise, describe and cost them into a complete Bill of Quantities.
