Step 1
When preparing a BOQ, there are certain steps to be carried out in order to make a proper BOQ. Mainly, it can be Quantity and Rate for each work. As the first step in preparing a BOQ is taking off quantities from the given drawings.Therefore, we need record these taking off measurements properly in a particular order which we can easily edit and recognize the measurements for each work. This measurement recording sheet is called TDS. The sheet arrangement will look like the following document.
Timesing:- In this column, we fill the number of repetitions of same work. for an example if we have same size columns 10 nos. we put it in this raw as 10.
Dimension :- In this column, we put the dimensions of the work. When we enter the dimensions, we should first add the length, width, and depth.
Sums:- In this column, we calculate the sums of work multiplying the Timesing & Dimensions.
Description:- In this field, we describe the work of the BOQ prior to the measurements we enter.
Completing the TDS is the first step when preparing a proper BOQ. because we can edit and adjust quantities easily if we maintain a TDS sheet. Not only that but also we can justify how we estimate the quantities to a senior or someone who's responsible for checking the quantities.
If a part of the drawing need to be changed, we need to estimate the quantities again. Even the changes like this can easily be re-estimated easily, quickly and accurately by using a TDS sheet. Once we complete the TDS sheet next step is preparing the abstract sheet which I am going to explain in my future articles.
