The document discusses what a Bill of Quantity (BOQ) is for an interior design project. A BOQ is a list that includes the components, estimated costs, quantities measured by number, area, volume, weight or time. It serves as an estimate for the entire project cost once the design is complete and specifications are prepared. The document provides instructions on drafting a BOQ by setting up a spreadsheet with item numbers, descriptions, units of measurement, quantities, rates, labor costs, and total costs for items. It also includes a real example of a BOQ.

expectations, budget and scope of work.
• In front of each item, its estimated total cost is mentioned.
• This serves as an estimate for your entire project.
• The quantities may be measured in number, area, volume, weight or time. Preparing a bill of
quantities requires that the design is complete and a specification has been prepared.

3. Drafting Your Bill of Quantities
Set up a spreadsheet for your bill of quantities. Include
columns for the item numbers, description, unit of
measurement, quantity, rate for the item, labor, and
total cost for the item.
Your item numbers will be consecutive, starting from 1.
Restart the item numbers for each section or category
of the build.
The columns for the rate for each item and total costs
will be filled in by contractors bidding on the project.
You typically won't have any values in those columns
while you're drafting your BoQ.
