Accurate Construction Cost Estimation & Detailed BOQ Services in Raipur
When a contractor quotes a lump-sum rate per square foot, you cannot tell what is included, what is padded, and what will come back later as an "extra". A detailed BOQ removes that guesswork: every item of work, with its measured quantity and its rate, listed on paper. You stop negotiating on feeling and start negotiating on numbers.
What You Receive
- Item-wise Bill of Quantities in Excel with formulas intact
- Detailed measurement sheet showing how every quantity was derived
- Bar Bending Schedule (BBS) with cutting length and lap details
- Material abstract: cement bags, steel kg, sand, aggregate, bricks
- Rate analysis against CPWD DSR / Chhattisgarh CSR and local market rates
- Stage-wise cash flow so you know what money is needed when
- Contractor quotation comparison sheet
Prevent Budget Overruns with Engineering-Grade BOQ & Material Breakdown
Budget overruns almost never come from one big surprise. They come from twenty small ones: extra excavation because the depth was not measured, more steel because laps were not counted, a plaster area computed on the gross wall instead of the net. We quantify from your actual drawings using IS 1200 measurement rules, so the number you plan around is the number the site consumes.
- Excavation, PCC, footing, column, beam, slab quantities item by item
- Brickwork and plaster measured net, with openings deducted
- Finishing items — flooring, painting, doors, windows — quantified separately
- Wastage allowance stated openly instead of hidden in the rate
Bar Bending Schedule (BBS) to Eliminate Rebar & Steel Wastage
Steel is usually the single largest material cost after cement, and it is where the most money quietly disappears. Without a BBS, bars are cut on site by eye and the offcuts become scrap. A proper schedule fixes cutting lengths, bends, hooks and lap positions in advance against IS 2502 and IS 13920, and orders stock lengths that cut cleanly — recovering a meaningful share of the steel budget on its own.
- Cutting length with bend and hook deductions computed, not assumed
- Lap positions placed at low-stress zones per IS 13920 ductile detailing
- Bar-mark drawings the site bar-bender can follow directly
- Diameter-wise weight summary for procurement and delivery checking
Contractor Bill Verification & Audit for Individual Owners
If you are already under construction and the running bills feel high, we audit them. We re-measure the executed work from the drawings and site photos, check it against the claimed quantities, verify the rates, and give you a written note on exactly which items are over-claimed and by how much. Most owners recover far more than the audit fee on the very first bill.
- Re-measurement of claimed vs actually executed quantities
- Rate reasonableness check against CSR and local market
- Written audit note you can put in front of the contractor
- Material consumption vs theoretical requirement reconciliation
How It Works
Send drawings
Architectural and structural drawings in PDF or DWG. Even clear photos of a printed set work if that is all you have.
Item-wise quantity take-off
Every item is measured to IS 1200 rules with a visible measurement sheet — you can trace any number back to the drawing it came from.
Rate analysis & costing
Quantities are priced against CPWD DSR, Chhattisgarh CSR and current Raipur market rates, giving both a departmental and a realistic market figure.
BOQ handover & walkthrough
You receive the Excel BOQ, the measurement sheet, the BBS and the material abstract — and a call where we walk you through how to use it while negotiating.

Frequently Asked Questions
An estimate is a total figure — useful for arranging finance, not for controlling a site. A BOQ is the itemised list underneath that figure: each item of work, its measured quantity, its unit, its rate and its amount. You need the estimate to plan and the BOQ to actually verify what the contractor bills you.
It is priced on built-up area and on how much detail the drawings carry. For a typical residential house the fee is a small fraction of one percent of the construction budget — and in almost every project it pays for itself in the first round of rate negotiation, before any site saving is counted. Send the drawings and you get a fixed quote, not an hourly meter.
Partly. A hand-drawn plan is enough for a preliminary area-based estimate, but a reliable item-wise BOQ needs dimensioned drawings — especially structural details for the concrete and steel items. If you do not have them, we can prepare the drawings first and then the BOQ, and quote both together.
That range is what we typically see, and it is worth understanding where it comes from — it is not a discount. Part is rebar wastage recovered through a proper BBS, part is over-claimed quantities caught in bill checking, and part is rate correction once you can compare quotes line by line. On a project with an already tight contract and disciplined execution, the saving will be smaller. We would rather set that expectation honestly than promise a number.
Yes. Send the running account bills along with the drawings and site photographs. We re-measure the executed work, compare it with what has been claimed, verify the rates, and give you a written note listing every discrepancy with the amount involved.
