Bill of Quantities Explained

Appointing a Quantity Surveyor to produce a Bill of Quantities (BoQ) has the potential to save a great deal of money on the contract price for many reasons, both before and during the contractual agreement and also post-construction at the final account stage.

But what are they exactly? And just how can they help you manage your construction project?

Hey there! I just wanted to share my experience with Metroun. I recently requested a video on a specific topic and the guys over at Metroun produced it for me. They totally rock!

What's really cool about these guys is that they're always looking to help out. If you're struggling with a particular area or just want more information, they'll add it to their list and often create a video on the topic in a few weeks.

I've been following Metroun for three years now and have requested three videos during my time at university. Each time, the production team has delivered a video covering exactly what I needed more information on.

So, I just wanted to say a big thank you to Metroun for being such a helpful and friendly channel. You guys are awesome!

When producing the BOQ, do the QS receive support from specialist engineers for advice on what to make an allowance for? I.e. I can’t imagine many cost consultants specialise in M&E therefore, providing a BOQ for a data centre project will require some input from experienced engineers.

Currently training as a QS. These videos are helpful. I genuinely can't find any revision material so I can get ahead before I start uni, is there any revision material you have available or sites you know of? Thanks, great video once again

I wanted to get into QS from a different BSc degree.
Would you say there are enough job opportunities in the UK?
Please advise.

Can you do one for Subcontract Liabilties and Subcontract Management?

This is unbalanced. Surely when a contractor provides a competitive price against a BOQ, even when met with preferable ground conditions, the rate should remain the same? Conversely, if the ground conditions were poor, you wouldn't expect the Client to accept higher rates than that contained in the tendered BOQ?
