BOQ & Estimate
Accurate BOQs (Bills of Quantities) and estimates are crucial for successful interior and architectural design projects, serving as the financial roadmap that guides both designers and clients. A well-prepared BOQ details all the materials, labor, and equipment needed for a project, providing a comprehensive breakdown of costs. This allows for precise estimates, ensuring that projects stay within budget and avoid unexpected expenses.
For architectural design, estimates often encompass structural elements, building systems, and site work, while interior design estimates focus on finishes, furnishings, and decorative items. Both disciplines require meticulous attention to detail and a thorough understanding of market prices to deliver realistic and transparent cost projections. By providing clear and detailed BOQs and estimates, designers can build trust with clients, facilitate informed decision-making, and ensure the financial viability of their creative visions.
