The Tender Reality

Common estimating challenges — and how the right BOQ prevents them

These are scenarios Melbourne builders and contractors deal with regularly. With the right estimating support, each one is manageable.

Estimator at Capacity

Tender deadlines don't wait. When your estimator is stretched, an experienced external QS can deliver a full BOQ takeoff to your programme — so you don't have to choose between quality and the deadline.

Incomplete BOQ from Others

When the BOQ provided is missing trades or has quantity gaps, an independent takeoff gives you a verified baseline — ensuring every trade is measured to the same standard before you commit to a price.

Protecting Your Margin

A thorough trade-by-trade BOQ identifies scope early, so the price you tender is the price you build to. Accurate quantities upfront mean fewer surprises during construction.

Levelling Subcontractor Pricing

When every subcontractor prices the same measured scope, you get a genuine like-for-like comparison. A common BOQ creates a level playing field and removes ambiguity from procurement.

What You Get

Tailored deliverables for every role in the project

Builder

A full trade-by-trade BOQ delivered in 3–5 working days, measured from your drawings in Bluebeam and compiled in CostX. Ready for your pricing review and subcontractor enquiries.

Contractor

Trade Packages for Procurement

Trade-specific BOQs structured in construction sequence. Each package is measured to the same standard so subcontractors price identical scope — simplifying your procurement and negotiations.

Architect

Independent Cost Check at Design Stage

A detailed cost estimate benchmarked against current Melbourne rates, delivered before you go to tender. Confirms budget alignment and identifies where value engineering delivers the most benefit.

Owner-Builder

Professional BOQ for Builder Quotes

A complete scope document covering every trade so all builders quote on the same basis. You compare tenders on substance, not assumptions — and negotiate from a position of knowledge.
