How do I summarise a bill of quantities (BOQ) for the project team?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Start by breaking down the BOQ into key sections: trades, quantities, unit rates, and total costs. Highlight any discrepancies or areas needing clarification. Use clear headings and bullet points for easy reference. Keep it concise but informative for the team's needs.
