Frequently Asked Questions — BOQ & Estimate Review in Perambur
What is a BOQ review and why do I need it for my Perambur project?
A Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is a line-by-line cost breakdown of your construction project. BOQ review by Buildogram's engineers identifies over-priced items, missing items, and specification risks before you sign with a contractor — typically saving 8–15% on total project cost.
What construction materials should I verify in a BOQ for a Perambur project?
Key materials to verify include: cement (grade and quantity), TMT steel (grade and weight), M-sand vs river sand, RMC mix design, tile specifications, waterproofing compound, electrical conduit and wiring specs, and plumbing pipe grades.
How much does a BOQ audit cost at Buildogram?
BOQ audit pricing varies by project size and complexity. Contact our team for a project-specific quote. Given the typical savings of 8–15%, the audit cost is usually recovered in the first phase of construction.
What is the difference between a package quote and a BOQ?
A package quote (e.g., ₹1,800/sqft all-in) gives you one number but hides material specifications and quantities. A BOQ breaks down every cost separately, giving you full transparency and accountability throughout the project.
Can a contractor refuse a BOQ audit?
Any reputable contractor should be comfortable with independent BOQ review. Resistance to a BOQ audit is itself a red flag. Buildogram always recommends insisting on a detailed BOQ before signing any construction agreement.
