Bill of Quantities

An itemised list of resources which are required for a particular task. This is usually used for a construction or maintenance specification and to summarise resources for a work programme. The resources might include material quantities, labour inputs (e.g. hours), equipment, and related costings. Typically, an item within a bill of quantities will have a unit (such as a m2) and total quantity (such as 2,000) and if it is a tender document then a column for a price to be given against the item and quantity.
