BOQ & Quantity Takeoff Services in Dubai & Internationally

A Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is a document that lists all the materials, labour and items of work required to complete a construction project, measured from the drawings. It is used to invite competitive tenders from contractors on a like-for-like basis, enabling a meaningful comparison of submitted prices.

We use recognised standard methods of measurement appropriate to the project and region — including RICS NRM, SMM7 (where applicable to the project) and bespoke measurement rules agreed with the client for specific project requirements in the UAE market.
