ii.

Bill of Quantities

Bill of quantities refers to a document used in tendering in the construction industry in which materials, parts, and labor (and their costs) are itemized. It also (ideally) details the terms and conditions of the construction or repair contract and itemizes all work to enable a contractor to price the work for which he or she is bidding. Bills of quantities are prepared by quantity surveyors and building estimators. They are prepared by a “taking off” in which the cost of a building or other structure is estimated from measurements in the Architects, Structural Engineers, and other building consultants drawings. These are used to create a cost estimate such as in regard to the square area in meters of walls and roofs, the numbers of doors and windows, and systems as heating, plumbing and electrics. Also the cost estimation can be conducted by knowing the price of the materials at the market places.
