MATERIAL + LABOUR + EQUIPMENT + SUBCONTRACTOR + OVERHEAD + PROFIT
The estimator can prepare project costs before submitting the quotation.
BOQ = BILL OF QUANTITIES
A BOQ may include:
| ITEM | DESCRIPTION | QTY | UNIT | RATE | AMOUNT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cable | 5,000 | Meter | ₹X | ₹X |
| 2 | Conduit | 2,000 | Meter | ₹X | ₹X |
| 3 | Switch | 500 | Nos. | ₹X | ₹X |
| 4 | DB | 25 | Nos. | ₹X | ₹X |
ERP can connect BOQ quantities to procurement and site consumption.
