I will prepare boq quantity takeoff and cost estimation for construction
Tender Specialist
About this Gig
Missing a tender deadline because your BOQ isn't ready costs you the whole bid, not just the estimating work.
I prepare accurate, tender-ready Bills of Quantities, material takeoffs, and cost estimates from your drawings, so your pricing team can focus on margin and strategy instead of counting items line by line.
Whether you're a main contractor pricing a full commercial fit-out, a subcontractor quoting a single trade package, or an estimator who needs overflow capacity before a submission deadline, I deliver:
- Full BOQ preparation (NRM2/SMM7 or your preferred format)
- Quantity takeoffs from architectural, structural, and M&E drawings
- Cost estimation with current material and labour rates
- Trade-by-trade breakdowns for subcontractor tenders
- Excel/PDF deliverables formatted for direct tender inclusion
I use industry-standard takeoff software (CostX, PlanSwift, Bluebeam) alongside manual verification, so figures are both fast and defensible if questioned during the tender evaluation.
Every drawing set is treated as confidential, NDA available on request. Send me your drawings and scope, and let's get your bid submission-ready.
