Outsource Takeoffs & Bill of Materials
It is very important that bills of materials are prepared according to a standard, widely recognized methodology. This helps avoid any ambiguities or misunderstandings and so helps avoid disputes arising through different interpretations of what has been priced. Bills of materials can be prepared elementally or in works packages, by a process of 'taking off' which involves identifying elements of construction works that can be measured and priced.
The Importance and the major usages of Bill of Materials (BOM) in construction cost estimation:
- Gives a premise to the valuation of variation.
- Provides the basic idea of the project by giving the quantities to tenderers.
- Helps in engaging other contractors and finalize their rates.
- Defines the extent of the work.
- Gives evaluated or expected contract value.
In construction estimating, bills of quantities are normally only prepared on larger projects. On smaller projects, or for alteration work the contractor can be expected to measure their own quantities from drawings and schedules of work. Schedules of work are 'without quantities' instructional lists that allow the contractor to identify significant work and materials that will be needed to complete the works and to calculate the quantities that will be required. The cost estimating services goes through four phases including preliminary, conceptual, schematic and detailed estimation services. In the case of the construction activities, detailed estimation is the ideal way of Estimating construction costs. It is necessary to calculate the estimate of the cost used on the materials. Our cost estimators keep an account of the estimate of the various types of material, its size, and various other features. The production of various processes carried out is also taken into account. Hence the final cost estimate prepared shall include even the minute expenses on every aspect.
