Comprehensive BOQ Preparation for a 60-Unit Residential Development
Footsteps was engaged to prepare a detailed Bill of Quantities for a proposed 60-unit residential development in Zambia. Through accurate quantity take-offs and well-structured documentation, the project team established a reliable construction budget, simplified the tendering process, and laid the foundation for efficient procurement and cost control throughout the development.
The Project
A private developer commissioned Footsteps to prepare a comprehensive Bill of Quantities for a 60-unit residential project before construction commenced. Our quantity surveying team reviewed the architectural and structural drawings, measured all construction elements, and developed a detailed BOQ organized by trade. The document provided contractors with a clear and consistent basis for pricing, resulting in more accurate and comparable tender submissions.
Beyond supporting the tender process, the BOQ became an essential cost management tool throughout the project. It enabled better procurement planning, cash flow forecasting, and contract administration while helping identify quantity discrepancies before work began. By delivering precise and reliable cost documentation, Footsteps reduced the likelihood of budget overruns and provided the client with greater confidence in project planning and financial decision-making.
