Drawing review
Organise source drawings and revisions before measurement.
Bills of Quantities · BOQ
Bills of Quantities that stay linked to the measurement evidence.
Prepare structured BOQs from governed quantities instead of rebuilding the commercial record in disconnected spreadsheets.
Direct answer
What is included in CivilQuant Bill of Quantities services?
CivilQuant supports drawing review, quantity takeoff, measurement rules, descriptions, item structuring, quantity checks, rate-ready schedules and reviewer-controlled BOQ issue. Each quantity can retain links to its source revision, formula, deduction and approval history.
What CivilQuant delivers
A BOQ workflow from drawing to commercial issue
Use CivilQuant to create a new BOQ, validate an existing one or connect measurement evidence to downstream tender and contract work.
Quantity takeoff
Measure counts, lengths, areas and volumes with explicit geometry and formulas.
Measurement rules
Apply agreed measurement logic and preserve the rule/version used.
BOQ structuring
Build trade, element and item structures suitable for pricing and tendering.
Quantity checks
Identify evidence gaps, duplicates, exceptions and mismatches before issue.
Tender-ready output
Carry approved BOQ records into tender comparison and commercial control.
Evidence-backed delivery
Make the BOQ part of an evidence chain
A quantity should not lose its source simply because it has moved into a commercial document. CivilQuant keeps those relationships intact.
- Revision-aware source drawing control
- Gross, deduction and net quantity logic
- Semantic construction elements and measurement evidence
- Rule/version provenance for measurement decisions
- Reviewer approval before quantities become commercial truth
- Direct continuity into tender, contract and variation workflows

Frequently asked questions
Questions about bill of quantities services
What is a Bill of Quantities? +
A Bill of Quantities is a structured document that describes and quantifies construction work so it can be priced, compared and used in commercial administration, subject to the contract and measurement basis.
Can a BOQ be prepared from PDF drawings? +
Yes, provided the drawings and scale or dimensions are suitable for reliable measurement. CivilQuant also supports revision-aware workflows and explicit exceptions where geometry is unclear.
Can CivilQuant check an existing BOQ? +
Yes. Existing BOQ quantities and descriptions can be reviewed against available drawings, measurement evidence and project rules.
What happens when drawings change? +
Revision changes can be identified and routed into review so the effect on quantities and potential variations can be assessed rather than silently overwritten.
Get started
Bring the drawings. Leave with a BOQ that can explain itself.
CivilQuant can start from a new drawing set, an existing takeoff or a BOQ that needs verification.
