Bill of Quantities (BOQ)

A Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is a structured document that lists every item of work on a fit-out project — materials, finishes, fixtures, MEP components, and labour — with quantities, units, and unit rates. The BOQ is prepared after design is frozen and forms the commercial backbone of a fixed-price contract.

In Indian office fit-out practice, a well-drafted BOQ typically runs to 150–400 line items on a mid-size floor. It specifies, for example, "12mm pre-laminated particle board, Merino Laminates SF-304 finish, kitchen cabinets, 47 running metres at ₹X/RM" — not vague categories like "pantry joinery." Any scope changes during construction are formally tracked against the BOQ as variation orders, giving the client a clean audit trail. A BOQ without material specs is an estimate; a BOQ with specs is a contract.
