How much does a bill of quantities cost?
This is a popular question we get asked a lot, and the truth is there is no magic formulae you can apply. As everyone will know not only does the value of the project vary, so do the details available, the method of measurement involved, the scope of work required to be measured and the style of the CSA or tender return document. Each of these factors bear a part on the time it takes to work through the details to arrive at the total time it will take to produce the bills.
When all these variables are taken into account and the correct brief ascertained only then can the cost be calculated. This cost will be unique to that project alone, much like the tender price that will be submitted as a result.
If however you want a guide cost and have some initial details we are always happy to provide a budget cost at the outset using our many years of experience of carrying out this type of work.
