Bill of Quantities Preparation

As designers in the UAE, we live our concepts every day, but client iterations, contractor deadlines, and site visits can leave little bandwidth for the one deliverable that keeps projects on budget and on schedule: a precise Bill of Quantities (BOQ). That’s why we offer dedicated boq preparation dubai services, accurate, transparent BOQs that translate drawings into measurable items, market-aligned rates, and clear scopes for tender.

A well-prepared BOQ is the foundation of every successful project. It underpins reliable cost estimates, speeds client decision-making, and builds trust by eliminating ambiguity before contractors price the work. Our process structures quantities directly from your latest architectural and MEP drawings, documents assumptions, and aligns with Dubai market pricing, so your estimate reflects real scope, not guesswork.

When you choose our boq preparation dubai services, you get a contractor-ready document that clarifies inclusions/exclusions, reduces variations, and protects your budget throughout execution. The result: faster approvals, cleaner tenders, and a smoother path from design intent to delivery.

Standardize Your BOQ Format & Measurement Schedule

Begin by standardizing your BOQ template. A consistent, project-agnostic structure simplifies document control, auditing, and tender comparison, core to our boq preparation dubai services. Use a flexible table that’s easy to adapt per scope, with clear columns for item code, description, unit (m, m², m³, lm, nr), quantity, rate, and amount. Define upfront measurement rules (what’s measured, rounding, waste allowances, inclusions/exclusions) and keep a visible revision log. The format must be transparent, accurate, and easy for clients and contractors to read. For speed and consistency, you can adopt IR Interior’s Design Schedule layouts as your baseline and tailor them to each project.

Product & Material Specifications for BOQ Preparation in Dubai

At this stage of our boq preparation dubai services, we compile a comprehensive register of all materials and products in scope. Each item is organized by trade and space, then detailed with spec-grade attributes, finish, size, colour, thickness, substrate/brand (or approved equal), and installation notes—so quantities map cleanly to drawings and schedules. This level of definition improves pricing accuracy, reduces RFIs, and speeds procurement. For typical fit-out scopes, IR Interior can deliver a contractor-ready BOQ within 4–6 hours, giving you a clear, reliable basis for cost and tender.

Estimating the Right Quantities for BOQ

In the next step of our boq preparation dubai services, we perform a precise quantity take-off for every item in the BOQ, measuring from the latest architectural and MEP drawings, applying agreed measurement rules, and mapping each quantity to a clear unit and rate. Because the total cost hinges on these figures, we validate prices against current Dubai market benchmarks, supplier quotations, and (where needed) quick site surveys. All assumptions are documented, and cross-checks are run to prevent omissions or double counting. With IR Interior’s QS and MEP specialists handling this stage, your BOQ gains the accuracy and credibility that wins tenders and keeps projects on budget.

Additional BOQ Services in Dubai

As part of our boq preparation dubai services, we go beyond the core Bill of Quantities. We conduct on-site visits during execution to validate quantities and resolve scope queries, advise on civil material grades and specifications in line with Dubai developer/authority standards, suggest practical value-engineering and project-management improvements, and accompany you to vendor showrooms and furniture markets to align selections with budgeted line items. Unlike many firms, IR Interior provides these value-added services at no extra charge, keeping your BOQ accurate, buildable, and matched to real market availability.

Write and Disposal and Site Handling

In Dubai fit-out and construction, waste allowances and site handling are critical parts of a reliable BOQ. As part of our boq preparation dubai services, we calculate realistic waste factors by trade (e.g., tile cutting and breakage, gypsum offcuts, paint overage, cable allowances) and include clear line items for handling, protection, storage, and disposal. We define site logistics, delivery timing, lifts/hoists usage, material protection, and housekeeping, along with roles and responsibilities for site supervisors and method statements for safe handling.

Your BOQ also covers on-site storage and maintenance requirements (dry, level, secure storage; stacking limits; periodic inspections for damage) and provides for segregated waste and legal disposal through Dubai-approved channels, including cart-away, tip fees, and documentation. The result is fewer surprises on site, cleaner tenders, and better sustainability outcomes, because IR Interior builds waste management and responsible disposal into the cost plan from day one.

Add on Contigencies and Risks

With IR Interior, pricing is transparent and scope-driven—no surprise add-ons. Our boq preparation dubai services use clear, line-item costs with documented inclusions/exclusions, waste allowances, preliminaries, and contingencies shown separately. We align rates to current Dubai market benchmarks, maintain a formal change-log, and seek your approval before any variation. The result is a BOQ you can trust, built to protect your budget and maximize client satisfaction.
