TASK A: BILLS OF QUANTITIES (BOQ) FOR TRADES

Students are to work in 3-4 member groups and prepare Bills of Quantities (BOQ) including preliminaries, concrete, formwork, reinforcement and internal finishes (floor, ceiling and wall) using an estimating software (e.g.: CostX) for the given drawings on the applicable project and scope (see Table 1), in accordance with the Australian and New Zealand Standard Method of Measurement for Building Works (ANZSMM).

You are required to compile the take-off list, measurement sheet, query sheet and BOQ. (Hint: For preliminaries, no need to prepare, take-off list, measurement sheet and query sheet). Please use the templates provided in MyUni (except BOQ as it will be prepared using CostX or other estimating software). Please note that you are NOT required to price the BOQ. Pricing is taught in a different course.

Recommended procedure:

First, you need to identify the items that should be measured for different trades using the take-off list sheet, while referring to the given project drawings and ANZSMM.

Next, take-off quantities for those identified items using the measurement sheets, following measurement rules in ANZSMM and referring to project drawings and specifications.

Use query sheet to mention the queries/assumptions made on missing details/ discrepancies. In the query sheet, both columns should be filled. That is the query and your assumed answer.

BOQ for Preliminaries and Other Trades - For Trades' BOQ, use the quantities you measured in the measurement sheets, also remember to add appropriate ‘preamble notes' and ‘trade preliminary items' before those measured items to make a complete BOQ. Preamble notes and trade preliminary items are listed at the beginning of each ANZSMM section. For Preliminary BOQ, include minimum 12 preliminaries that are applicable to the given drawing.

Inclusions and exclusions
Preliminaries - Include 12 preliminary items. You can re-use the individually prepared preliminary bill under Assessment 2, if applicable.
You are required to measure above ground level items only.

If you are required to measure ground floor, please measure items between Finished Floor Level (FFL) of Ground Floor to FFL of First Floor (including floor finishes of ground floor level but excluding floor finishes of first floor).

If you are required to measure first floor, please measure items between FFL of First Floor to FFL of Roof (including floor finishes of first floor level but excluding floor finishes of roof level).

Concrete, Formwork - Exclude staircases, lintels and beams
Reinforcement - columns and slab only
Finishes - internal finishes only including floor, ceiling and wall finishes (excluding staircases and painting trade)
