A Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is a comprehensive document used in construction projects to itemize and quantify the materials, labor, and other costs required to complete the project according to the provided specifications and drawings. It serves as a vital tool for estimating the overall cost of construction and is utilized by contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers during the bidding process and throughout the project lifecycle.

The BOQ enables a multiple array of benefits such as

• Accurate cost estimation and budgeting
• It helps stakeholders plan and allocate resources effectively.
• Moreover, the BOQ facilitates transparency and accountability in project pricing, as it provides a clear breakdown of costs for each component, minimizing the risk of disputes or misunderstandings.
• The BOQ also serves as a reference document for procurement, allowing project managers to source materials and services efficiently while adhering to budget constraints.
• Furthermore, it serves as a benchmark for tracking project progress and evaluating variations or changes during construction, ensuring that the project remains within budget and on schedule.

How does RDash help with Bill of Quantities
