A Bill of Quantities (BQ) is a comprehensive list of items, together with full descriptions and quantities that make up the works being delivered. These documents are valuable to both clients and contractors – for similar and diverse reasons.
When you engage Evolution5 to provide a Bill of Quantities service you are allocated a suitably experienced quantity surveyor who will handle your commission from start to finish.
Through our use of SMM7 or NRM2 and specialist software packages, we ensure that your Bill of Quantities is compliant with industry standards. In addition, you can choose the format in which you receive your Bill for the method of integration into your own business systems.
As a general rule, a robust Bill of Quantities saves time and money for both Client and Contractor.
When managing project finances, a comprehensive Bill of Quantities, prepared by Evolution5, will provide a strong basis for budgetary controls throughout the project delivery for all parties. It supports;
- Cashflow Forecasting
