Construction BOQ Template — 90-Item, 15-Division Bill of Quantities for General Construction
A complete, 9-tab Google Sheets workbook built for the Florida market: Cover Sheet, Document Control, General Notes, Abbreviations, BOQ Summary, a 90-item Detailed BOQ across all 15 general-construction divisions, live-linked Rate Analysis, a Cost Benchmark tab and a Bid Form — all formula-driven.
A Complete, Professional 9-Tab BOQ Workbook
Built around a realistic multi-trade general-construction project, this workbook shows exactly how a professional Florida BOQ should be structured across every major division — sections, codes, rate back-up and all — so you can adapt it to your own project in minutes instead of building one from a blank sheet.
1. Cover Sheet
Branded tender cover page with project info block, BOQ reference/revision control and currency & units basis for the entire workbook.
2. Document Control
Revision history and sign-off table (Prepared / Checked / Approved) so your issued BOQ has a clean audit trail.
3. General Notes & Preambles
Scope of work, method of measurement, governing codes (ACI 318, TMS 402/602, FBC 8th Ed./IBC 2021, NEC, IMC/IPC, NFPA), QA/QC, HSE and payment-terms preambles for every division.
4. Abbreviations & Definitions
A full glossary of construction, trade and Florida-specific abbreviations used consistently across all 15 divisions.
5. BOQ Summary
One-page abstract rolling up all 15 division sub-totals plus overhead & profit (10%) and contingency (5%) into a single bid total — fully formula-linked.
6. BOQ Detail – 90 Items, 15 Divisions
Preliminaries, Site Prep & Earthworks, Concrete, Masonry, Structural Steel (condensed), Carpentry, Waterproofing/Roofing, Doors/Windows/Glazing, Finishes, Specialties, HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Fire Protection and External Works — every line with a Spec/Code Reference, unit, quantity, rate and amount.
7. Rate Analysis
Live, formula-linked cost build-ups (material + labor + consumables + overhead + profit) for representative items such as cast-in-place concrete and CMU block wall — edit the backup and your BOQ rate updates automatically.
8. Cost Benchmark
A reference cost-per-square-foot comparison tab so you can sanity-check your total against typical general-construction ranges before you submit.
9. Bid Form
Ready-to-sign bid declaration with grand total auto-pulled from the BOQ Summary, bid validity, bonding note and authorized-signatory block.
