Structural Steel Works BOQ Template — 60-Item, Tender-Ready Bill of Quantities
A complete, 9-tab Excel workbook built for the Florida market: Cover Sheet, Document Control, General Notes, Abbreviations, BOQ Summary, a 60-item Detailed BOQ across 8 sections, live-linked Rate Analysis, Material Take-off and a Bid Form — all formula-driven.
A Complete, Professional 9-Tab BOQ Workbook
Built around a realistic 150,000 SF, G+8 steel-framed commercial office project in Tampa, FL, this workbook shows exactly how a professional Florida structural-steel BOQ should be structured — 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, governing codes, wind design basis, steel grade summary and BOQ reference/revision control.
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
11 sections covering scope, applicable codes (FBC, ASCE 7-22, AISC 360-22, AWS D1.1), method of measurement, QA/QC, HSE, payment terms and a full legend for how to use the template.
4. Abbreviations & Definitions
36 construction, insurance and Florida-specific abbreviations defined (HVHZ, NOA, FL#, SEOR, SIP, PPI and more).
5. BOQ Summary
One-page abstract of cost rolling up all 8 sections, overhead, profit and contingency into a single bid total — fully formula-linked.
6. Detailed BOQ – 60 Items
Sections A–H: Supply, Erection, Connections & Welding, Surface Protection, Metal Decking & Cladding, Misc. Steel, Testing/QC, and Mobilization — every line with Spec/Code reference, unit, quantity, rate and amount.
7. Rate Analysis
Live, formula-linked cost build-ups (material + labor + consumables + overhead + profit) for 3 key items — edit the backup and your BOQ rate updates automatically.
8. Material Take-off
An independent tonnage cross-check comparing priced steel tonnage against a benchmark lb/SF steel-intensity ratio — a sanity check reviewers expect to see.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's a professionally structured template built around a realistic sample project (a G+8, 150,000 SF steel-framed commercial building in Tampa, FL). All quantities, rates and amounts are illustrative/sample figures for demonstration — exactly as noted on the workbook's own Cover Sheet. Swap in your own measured quantities and current Florida market rates, and every subtotal, section total and the grand bid amount recalculates automatically.
A single Excel (.xlsx) workbook with all 9 tabs, fully formatted and formula-linked. It opens cleanly in Excel, Google Sheets and most spreadsheet apps.
Yes. Amounts, section subtotals, the BOQ Summary roll-up, the Rate Analysis build-ups for 3 key items, the Material Take-off tonnage cross-check, and the Bid Form total are all live formulas — not hardcoded numbers. Change a quantity or rate and everything downstream updates.
Yes — it's licensed for use on your own projects and bids (single business/company use). Redistribution or resale of the template file itself, as-is or repackaged, is not permitted.
