Can you provide a detailed BOQ (Bill of Quantities)?

Absolutely — I can. Below is a detailed, ready-to-use BOQ (Bill of Quantities) you can use to get accurate quotes from designers / contractors in Delhi NCR. It’s written so you can copy into Excel/Google Sheets and adjust quantities, unit rates or brands for your specific project.

I include:

  • A full itemised BOQ (sections + common line items)
  • Units, suggested quantity examples (for a typical 3BHK ~1,100–1,400 sq.ft.), and Delhi-NCR indicative unit rate ranges (₹).
  • Notes on what to check for each item (brands, warranties, exclusions).
  • A worked subtotal example at the end so you see how totals are calculated.

Important: these are detailed template rates & ranges you can ask vendors to fill in with exact quantities/brands. If you want this as an Excel file prefilled, I can create it for you (you already asked earlier and I can remake a more numeric BOQ immediately if you say “yes, create Excel”).

DETAILED BOQ TEMPLATE — INTERIOR FINISHES (Item → Unit → Qty (example) → Unit Rate Range (₹) → Estimated Amount (₹) → Notes)

WORKED NUMERIC EXAMPLE (MID-RANGE 3BHK ≈1,200 sq.ft.)

This is a condensed worked example using average choices to illustrate how items add up. Replace unit rates with quotes you get.

  • Design & drawings: ₹100,000
  • Electrical + lighting: ₹150,000
  • Plumbing & waterproofing: ₹90,000
  • False ceiling: ₹90,000
  • Flooring (1,200 sq.ft. @ ₹120) : ₹144,000
  • Painting: ₹90,000
  • Modular kitchen: ₹200,000
  • Wardrobes & major carpentry: ₹300,000
  • Loose furniture & beds: ₹250,000
  • Appliances / lights / decor: ₹230,000
  • Transport & logistics: ₹25,000
  • Project management (10%): ₹180,400 (or as % of subtotal)
  • Contingency (5%): ₹90,200

Subtotal (example) ≈ ₹1,804,000

  • PM + Contingency = ₹2,074,600
  • GST 18% = ₹373,428
    Grand Total ≈ ₹2,448,028 (≈ ₹24.5 lakhs)

This matches the mid-range 3BHK worked example I gave earlier — useful as a sanity check.

HOW TO USE THIS BOQ (quick guide)

  1. Copy the template into Excel/Google Sheets. Put your actual quantities in the Qty column.
  2. Ask vendors/designers to fill in the Unit Rate column with exact brand & model references.
  3. Make sure each material/brand for critical items is specified (plywood brand & grade, laminate brand, hardware brand, paint brand, tile SKU, quartz/granite brand).
  4. Confirm whether the quote is inclusive/exclusive of GST, transport & supervision. Ask for invoices.
  5. Keep 5–10% contingency and 5–10% retention until final snagging.
  6. For apples-to-apples comparison: insist all bidders submit itemised BOQ with same brands & quantities.

ITEMS TO INSIST BE WRITTEN IN THE BOQ

  • Plywood brand & grade (e.g., Greenply BWR / Century Club Prime / HDHMR)
  • Laminate / finish brand (Greenlam / Merino / Fenix)
  • Hardware brand (Häfele / Hettich / Blum) and model (soft-close hinges, undermount channels)
  • Countertop material (Quartz brand / Granite)
  • Paint brand & finish (Asian Paints / Berger / Nerolac; washable emulsion)
  • Warranty period for kitchens, hardware & workmanship (write years)

If you’d like, I can do one of the following immediately (pick one — I will perform it now):

A) Create a fully-populated Excel BOQ based on the template above for a typical 3BHK (I’ll use the example quantities and mid-range averages) and give you the download link.
B) Create a blank Excel BOQ file already formatted with columns: Category | Item | Unit | Qty | Unit Rate | Amount | Brand/Spec | Notes — so you can send to vendors.
C) Create a tailored BOQ estimate for your home — I will need only: approximate built-up area (sq.ft) and which rooms (2BHK/3BHK, number of bathrooms, include modular kitchen? loose furniture?) — and I’ll produce an itemised estimate immediately.

Tell me which of A / B / C you want and I’ll generate the file right away.
