Service Discipline 05
BOQ & Cost Control
Cost overruns and contract disputes happen when project quantities are guessed rather than measured. Fusion Developers operates with absolute drawing-set discipline: every Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is extracted directly from stamped engineering drawings, cross-referenced with current market material commodity indices in Pakistani Rupees (PKR), and verified before issue.
Direct Drawing Take-Off
Quantities measured directly from structural, architectural, and MEP plans
Audited Rate Build-Ups
Transparent unit rates analyzing raw material, skilled labor, wastage, and overheads
Earned Value Control
Real-time project cost tracking (CPI, SPI) preventing budget creep during construction
FIDIC-Compliant Registers
Rigorous variation order logs, milestone valuations, and interim payment audits
Eliminating Contractor Guesstimates & Budget Slippage
In Pakistan's volatile economic climate with shifting steel, cement, and foreign exchange rates, vague lump-sum contracting creates catastrophic financial risk. Fusion Developers prepares itemized, trade-by-trade BOQs following international quantity surveying principles. We provide clients with transparent rate analysis that breaks down every single cubic foot of concrete and metric ton of steel into its component costs.
| BOQ Trade Section | Measurement Standard | Rate Build-Up Factors |
|---|---|---|
| Earthwork & Deep Excavation | Per Cubic Meter / Cubic Foot | Machine hours, spoil trucking distance, shoring, backfilling compaction |
| Reinforced Concrete (RCC) | Per Cubic Foot (cft) | Cement bags (OPC/SRC), sand, crushed stone, shuttering formwork, pouring |
| Deformed Steel Reinforcement | Per Metric Ton (MT) | Rebar base price, loading, freight, cutting wastage (3-5%), binding wire, labor |
| Structural Steelwork (PEB) | Per Kilogram / Metric Ton | Hot-rolled plates, fabrication labor, shop primer, transport, crane erection |
| Architectural Finishes | Per Square Foot (sq ft) | Tiles/stone, adhesive, grout, skilled masonry, edge profiling, polishing |
