Bills of Quantities
A BoQ (Bill of Quantities) helps contractors produce an accurate and fair tender. Having this as a standard document ensures that competing contractors price the items of work on the same basis. Thus, reducing the risk of ambiguity through, addendums, omissions or misunderstandings.
Though the adjudication process the quantity surveyor is able to analyse the competing contractors’ BoQ on an itemised rate for rate basis. A BoQ can also be used after the tendering process. Contractors use the document for material scheduling, construction planning, cost analysis and cost planning.
The BoQ defines the extent of the work that needs to be carried out and also provides the estimated contract sum. Thus, it is a very useful document for contractors and clients alike. Having a solid BoQ also makes quantifying the works much easier and more transparent. This is something that needs to occur during the procurement process of any project to get accurate prices or to value the work for payment.
Producing an effective BoQ is therefore essential for a successful bidding process. Getting this process right can help contractors to provide a better service, as well as win over more clients.
Surveying Works
At Kren Construction we also determine the position of objects by measuring angles and distances. The factors that can affect the accuracy of our observations are also measured. We then use this data to create vectors, bearings, coordinates, elevations, areas, volumes, plans and maps.
