It is one of the communication tool which connects the parties (Client, consultant & contractor) of construction project. Keith defines, BOQ is a schedule which categories, details and quantifies the materials and other cost items to be used in construction project. It is important to know that, direct costs & indirect costs are to be considered for complete cost of the project which are covered in different parts of the BOQ.<\/p>\n

\n

  2. It defines the extent of the work. (But it should be identified in line with drawings & specification as well).<\/li>\n
  3. It gives estimated or anticipated contract sum. (very important to client)<\/li>\n
  4. It provides a basis for valuation of variation. (Variation is to be discussed in detail).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
