Adopt bills of quantities

In order to provide uniformity of contractors’ pricing and to promote reasonable contract pricing, bills of quantities are adopted for tendering purposes. Bills of quantities translate the design team’s drawings and specifications / BIM models into a quantitative document that is prepared in accordance with the rules of the Standard Method of Measurement. Issued to each contractor for pricing purposes, it enables each tenderer to estimate his price on exactly the same basis as his competitors for the project. We leverage BIM software to extract quantities from the model, which significantly reducing physical measuring time and eliminate errors, while enabling real-time cost advice through a “live-link” with cost-geometry. We develop a range of dynamo programming scripts and integrate a suite of innovative and intelligent digital applications, such as Revit API applications, A.I. and power BI, to facilitate our QTO process. These solutions address interoperability and software limitation problems. Our approach allows us to retrieve specific technical parameters based on our method of measurement and adapt to various architectural and engineering firms’ modelling approaches. This efficient and effective process significantly improves quality control, enabling us to deliver high-quality consultancy services to you. Upon award of a contract, the bills of quantities become a part of the construction contract that is a highly useful document for cost control purposes. It can be used as a basis for interim payment valuations, valuation of variations, settlement of the final account, etc. The document also provides a contractual basis for the contracting parties in case a contractual dispute arises during the course of a project. Bills of quantities can be adapted for use for different types of contracts, such as lump-sum contracts, management contracts and fast-track contracts.
