QUANTITY SURVEY
AND
BILL OF QUANTITY
CONCEPT

Quantity Survey - Definition

To calculate the quantities in a
predetermined structured way.
Bifurcating the project into small areas.
Identifying the each activity with unique
mark numbers.
Data Base Management

Quantity Survey - Standards

Quantity Survey - Advantage

Tracking Scope
Precise Resource Planning
To avoid multiple working by various level
persons
Uniformity in Reporting & Billing
Faster Certification
