Competitive tendering remains the most common procedure for appointment of contractors to landscape maintenance and construction contracts, and bills of quantities are essential to this process. The competitive nature of the industry requires contractor’s rates to be competitive and up to date while at the same time providing enough profit margins for the business to survive.  

Bills of quantities translate the drawings and specifications produced by the landscape designer into a document that facilitates a contractor to calculate his tender price fairly, on exactly the same basis as his competitors.

The production of a Bill of Quantities can assist both contractors and designers. The primary purposes of our Bills of Quantities which become a contract document are:

• To provide a description of works and lists of items identifying materials and quantities, allowing contractors to tender for the project accurately.
• For designers when a contract has been entered into and the project begins the BOQ provides a basis for the valuation of works and interim payments to the contractor.

Using of industry knowledge and experience we can produce accurate and detailed Bills of Quantities from landscape drawing and specifications. For designers we can measure the works and produce accurate BOQ’s. For contractors we assist them measuring the works and pricing the produced BOQ, and helping them to submit competitive tenders. 

Landscape Consultancy Services can produce a professional, acurate Bills of Quantities thereby saving contractors & designers the high costs involved in employing a full time estimator to carry out this work.
