3. Bill of quantities

General purpose of Bill of Quantities is to minimise the costs associated with tendering. BOQ helps
builder estimate labour, material and equipment by providing with quantity and sometime more
specific quality of work, thus, they can minimise the risks of unknown elements. Furthermore, the
process of reviewing the plans and specifications in the preparation of the Bill of Quantities will be
helpful in recognising any fault or missions in the drawings and specification which may raise
confusion later on or even undesirable expense.
