Quantities times rates, summed, plus contingency and tax: the arithmetic of every tender. Leave unused rows blank. Rates are per unit in your currency; the printable bill is formatted for a PDF via your browser's print dialog.

Where every number meets money

The bill of quantities is the document that turns measured work into a price. The tool above builds one from up to eight items: description, unit, quantity, and rate, with the amounts summed to a subtotal, contingency applied, tax applied on the marked-up figure, and a grand total in your currency. The print button produces a clean tabular bill through your browser's PDF dialog, ready to attach to a quotation. The default rows carry the demo quantities from this suite's takeoff and earthworks tools, priced at plausible rates.

Bill of quantities table with concrete, rebar, and formwork items priced at unit rates, flowing down to subtotal, contingency, tax, and the tender total
Takeoff quantities times unit rates, plus contingency and tax, become the tender price.

This completes the Construction Estimator Suite: take off the quantities, compute the earthworks, and roll everything into the bill here.

Why the BOQ structure matters

  • It makes bids comparable: when every contractor prices the same measured items, the tender evaluation compares rates, not guesses about scope.
  • It makes variations honest: changed work gets valued at the rates already in the bill, which is why unbalanced rates are a classic contractual game.
  • Contingency before tax is the standard order, and the tool applies it that way; check local rules, because tax regimes differ on what the base includes.
  • Units discipline the measurement: concrete in cubic meters, formwork in square meters, rebar in tonnes, and lump sums only for what refuses measurement.

What this tool is for

Quoting small works, teaching estimating structure, and producing a presentable bill without spreadsheet formatting battles. Standard methods of measurement add item coverage rules and preambles; the pricing arithmetic is exactly this.
