Structure the work items
Group the work into understandable items. Use the right unit for each measurement so quantities and rates refer to the same thing.
Codeblix Platform · Business workflow
Bring work items, units, quantities and rates into one structured estimate. Review the calculation, then export a bill of quantities your team can work with.
| Work item | Quantity | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete slab | 12 m³ | Rs 6,000 | Rs 72,000 |
| Blockwork | 80 m² | Rs 850 | Rs 68,000 |
| Finishes | 50 m² | Rs 400 | Rs 20,000 |
Illustrative project and rates. Taxes and other project costs excluded.
Bill of quantities software
Structure the work before you calculate it. Keep a clear description, measurement unit, quantity and rate for each estimate line.
Group the work into understandable items. Use the right unit for each measurement so quantities and rates refer to the same thing.
Check measurements and the rate basis before relying on the amount. The rate is your project input; it is not a published market price or a country-specific cost library.
Produce the structured estimate through the BOQ export workflow, including spreadsheet output. Review the exported document before sharing it with your project team.
The sample uses 12 m³ of concrete at Rs 6,000, 80 m² of blockwork at Rs 850 and 50 m² of finishes at Rs 400. Together, the three lines total Rs 160,000 before tax and other project costs.
Use the example to understand the calculation, not to price a real project. Measurement accuracy, specification, labour, materials, overheads and contractual allowances still need a project-specific review.
BOQ supports structured construction estimating. It does not turn a drawing into a verified quantity survey. A trained reviewer should confirm the measurements and scope.
