The objective of this project was to prepare the Bill Of Quantities of a two -
storey house using the traditional method, according with the Standard Method
of Measurement th edition. This was accomplished through three steps:
1. Taking - off
2. Abstracting and Squaring
3. Preparation of Bill Of Quantities
For every new project there is the first step and the last step. For
establishing the desirable result each and every step between must be
accomplished by organization and cooperation.
These two things are very essential in Civil Engineering and as Civil Engineer or
Quantity Surveyor you have to think and act organized.
In order to help all the members that contributes for the construction of a
project to be organized and have a forehand view so as to be prepared for
every difficulty, Bill Of Quantities is prepared at an early stage.
Bill Of Quantities is a document usually prepared by a quantity surveyor
which (ideally) details the terms and conditions under which a contract is to be
let, and itemises all works to enable a contractor to price the work for which he
is bidding. The first main step in preparing a bill is the "taking off" or recording of
dimensions from drawings or schedules of work. Similar types of work are then
brought together under one item, a process known as "abstracting", all of this
information is then "worked up" into the bill of quantities.Bill Of Quantities is very essential step since all contractor's tender price is
on exactly the same information. It provides a basis for the valuation of work as
the project proceeds and an ideal basis for the feedback of information for
future use in cost planning. Also gives a precise description of, and quantifies
the components parts within a project, and is of great assistance to the
contractor when planning and controlling the work.
So it's very important for a Civil Engineer knowing following a Bill Of
Quantities as it helps the employers interest, and the contractor to know the
exact rates of materials so as to keep in budget for every section that finished
and any alterations during the contraction.
