BOQ Based Construction
Transparent, detailed, and customizable construction approach with itemized costing
What is BOQ Based Construction?
BOQ (Bill of Quantities) Based Construction is a detailed and transparent approach to construction where every aspect of the project is itemized, quantified, and priced. This method provides you with complete clarity on where every rupee of your budget is being spent.
With BOQ based construction, you receive a comprehensive document that lists all materials, labor, and works required for your project along with their quantities and unit prices. This approach gives you greater control over quality specifications and allows for easier customization based on your preferences and budget constraints.

Understanding a Bill of Quantities
A typical BOQ document contains detailed information organized by construction category
| Item Description | Unit | Quantity | Rate (₹) | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Earthwork & Foundation | ||||
| Earth excavation for foundation | Cu.m | 15.75 | 350 | 5,512.50 |
| PCC for foundation (1:4:8) | Cu.m | 2.65 | 6,200 | 16,430.00 |
| 2. RCC Work | ||||
| RCC for foundation (M20 grade) | Cu.m | 3.85 | 8,500 | 32,725.00 |
| Reinforcement steel (Fe 500) | Kg | 425 | 85 | 36,125.00 |
This is a simplified sample of a BOQ. Your actual BOQ will be much more comprehensive, with hundreds of line items covering every aspect of construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about BOQ-based construction
How does BOQ construction differ from turnkey construction?
While turnkey construction offers a fixed price for the entire project, BOQ construction provides itemized pricing for each component. BOQ gives you more transparency and control over specifications, while turnkey offers more simplicity and convenience.
Can I make changes during construction with BOQ approach?
Yes, one of the advantages of BOQ-based construction is the flexibility to make changes. Any changes will be documented as variations to the original BOQ, with transparent pricing for the modifications.
How do you ensure quality with BOQ construction?
Quality specifications for materials and workmanship are clearly defined in the BOQ. Our quality assurance team verifies that all work adheres to these specifications, and regular inspections are conducted throughout the construction process.
Is BOQ construction more expensive than other methods?
Not necessarily. While the initial preparation of a detailed BOQ does require more effort, the transparency it provides often results in cost savings during construction. You pay exactly for what you get, with no hidden costs or markup.
