A bill of quantities (BOQ) lists every work item in a construction job along with the materials and cost for each, giving a consolidated total. It is used to estimate, budget and compare contractor quotes.

How do I make a BOQ for a house?

List each activity — concrete, RCC, brickwork, plaster, flooring, paint, steel — with its dimensions, work out the materials for each, then add them up. This estimator does that automatically as you add items.

Does this BOQ include labour?

It estimates materials and their cost. Use the labour cost calculator for the labour side, then add the two for a fuller project estimate.

BOQ & Estimator

Build a bill of quantities for a whole job. Add each work item — concrete, RCC, brickwork, plaster, flooring, paint, steel — and the estimator runs every one through the same calculation engine and totals the cement, sand, aggregate, bricks and steel, with a grand cost you can print.

How it works

Each item you add is computed with the same maths as the individual calculators — wet volume scaled to dry volume, split by mix ratio into cement, sand and aggregate; bricks from wall volume; steel from d²/162 or a kg-per-m³ slab figure. The estimator then sums identical materials across every item so you order cement once, sand once, and so on, and applies your rates for a grand total.

This estimates materials and their cost. Add the labour cost calculator for the labour side. Quantities are for planning — confirm against drawings and a detailed BOQ before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Can I save the BOQ?

Use Print / Save as PDF — it prints a clean summary you can keep or share. Your items aren't stored anywhere.

Does it include labour and overheads?

No — materials only. Add labour separately and a margin for overheads and contingency.

Why consolidate materials?

So you place one combined order — total cement bags across all concrete, mortar and plaster items, for example — instead of item-by-item.
