A bill of quantities (BOQ) lists every item of work in a project with its unit and the quantity measured from the drawings, so that every contractor prices exactly the same scope. Once priced and accepted, it becomes the schedule of rates in the contract: each running bill is measured and paid against its items.
Write each line as one BOQ item, with the item number at the start of the description (for example “4.2 RCC M25 in slabs”). Government BOQs in India usually follow the item descriptions of the CPWD or state Schedule of Rates, and quantities are measured under IS 1200.
Use the unit the method of measurement asks for: earthwork and concrete in cubic metres, plaster and flooring in square metres, skirting and pipes in running metres, reinforcement in kilograms or tonnes. A rate quoted in the wrong unit is one of the commonest BOQ disputes.
Most construction work supplied as a works contract attracts GST at 18% (SAC 9954). A few categories carry concessional rates, so check the entry that applies to your contract before you price, and say on the BOQ whether rates include GST.
In Rebota the BOQ belongs to the project: items carry cost codes and their material, labour, equipment and subcontract resources, revisions are kept with approval, and each item links to the material master so stock shortages show early. Measurement book entries are recorded against BOQ items, so running bills come from measured work, not a second spreadsheet.
