BOQ Preparation
Itemised Bills of Quantities structured by trade, section and measurable work item so pricing can be reviewed properly.
Price the work before the work prices you.
Primeroute prepares clear Bills of Quantities, cost estimates, tender pricing support and cost-control documents for construction projects that need numbers you can stand behind.

Cost clarity
Construction decisions are only as strong as the numbers behind them.
A weak estimate creates pressure later: missed quantities, underpriced items, vague assumptions, tender risk and cash-flow surprises. Primeroute helps you move from rough guesses to structured, defendable cost information.

BOQ
Estimate
Measured first.
Every estimate starts with scope clarity, assumptions and a pricing logic you can review.
What we prepare
BOQ support built for practical project decisions.
Whether you are preparing a tender, budgeting a build, comparing contractor prices or trying to control cost creep, the goal is the same: clear scope, clear quantities, clear numbers.
02
Quantity Take-Offs
Measured quantities from drawings, schedules and project information, with assumptions clearly captured where information is incomplete.
03
Cost Estimation
Budget estimates and cost plans that connect quantities, rates, labour, material logic and project-specific allowances.
04
Tender Pricing Support
Pricing assistance that helps contractors, developers and business owners understand exposure before submitting or accepting prices.
05
Rate Review
Review of rates, provisional sums and high-risk cost items to identify pricing gaps, inconsistencies and margin pressure.
06
Cost Reports
Clear summaries of scope, assumptions, exclusions, risks and cost movement so stakeholders can make decisions faster.
How we work
Measured, structured and easy to review.
Primeroute keeps the process simple: understand the project, measure the scope, price with logic, then hand over documents that are clear enough to use immediately.
01
Brief
We confirm the project type, drawings, scope, timeline, tender requirements and the level of detail needed.
02
Measure
We extract and organise quantities into a BOQ structure that is clean, logical and easy to price.
03
Price
Rates, allowances and pricing notes are applied with visible assumptions and project-specific cost logic.
04
Handover
You receive the BOQ, estimate and summary notes with clear next steps for review, tender or project control.
Deliverables
Documents you can actually work with.
We do not hand over vague spreadsheets. We structure the information so you can review it, compare prices, clarify scope and make better cost decisions.

Itemised Bill of Quantities
Cleanly structured work items, quantities, units and trade sections.

Priced Cost Estimate
Rate-based estimate with total cost view and pricing notes.

Use cases
When this service makes the biggest difference.
Before submitting a tender
Check that your quantities, rates and cost exposure are clear before you commit to a price.
Before appointing a contractor
Compare prices against a structured scope instead of relying on broad lump-sum figures.
Before starting a build
Understand the likely cost, high-risk items and budget pressure points before construction begins.
Have drawings or a project brief?
Send the project details and we will help define the right BOQ or cost estimation scope before work begins.
Questions
Before you request a quote.
Usually drawings, schedules, specifications, project location and any preferred format. If you only have partial information, send it through and we will identify what is missing before pricing the work.
Yes. We can still prepare a structured estimate, but assumptions and exclusions will be clearly stated so you know which figures are firm and which need confirmation.
No. The service is useful for homeowners, developers, contractors, consultants and small businesses that need clearer construction costing before making decisions.
Yes. A structured BOQ makes contractor quotations easier to compare because each party prices against the same itemised scope.
