Measurement, valuation and cost control across the whole project - from takeoff and tenders to running bills and the final account. Quantity surveying done by engineers, so the numbers always match the design.
Quantities are the same numbers that pricing, billing and claims all build on. Get them right once, and every stage is easier.
Accurate quantities taken off from drawings and models - earthwork, concrete, steel, masonry, finishes and MEP items - in a format that works for pricing and procurement.
Bill of quantities for tenders, tender-ready pricing schedules and contract BOQs. See also our dedicated BOQ and cost estimation service.
Site measurement, measurement sheets, re-measurement against the BOQ and preparation of payment quantities - the honest numbers behind every bill.
Monthly running bills, interim and final valuations, and certification support. See the full picture in our contractor billing & IPC service.
Rate analyses for BOQ items and variations, market rate checks, cost planning and budget control for clients and contractors.
Pricing of extra items and variations, quantification of cost and time impact, and technical support for claims and EOT.
Quantities are taken off from the drawings or model in a clear, itemized schedule.
Rates are built from materials, labour and plant with rate analysis, and assembled into a BOQ or estimate.
As work proceeds, actual quantities are measured and turned into running bills and valuations.
Final quantities, variations and rates are reconciled into the final account - and defended if needed.
Because the same engineers who produce the design prepare the quantities, takeoffs are consistent with drawings, slabs and steel schedules - not estimated in a vacuum.
The BOQ, the running bills, the valuations and the claims all draw on the same measurement file. Nothing gets recreated from scratch, so nothing drifts.
For clients reviewing contractor bills or disputes, the same measurement discipline produces independent, defensible numbers for negotiation or arbitration.
Common questions about quantity surveying in Pakistan.
A quantity surveyor measures and values construction work: quantities from drawings, bills of quantities, measurement of work done, valuations and payment certificates, and cost advice. The work covers the whole project, from tender to final account.
The engineer designs and builds the works. The quantity surveyor measures and prices them - quantities, BOQs, measurements, valuations and cost control. Struc-Arch provides both under one roof, which keeps the numbers consistent with the design.
Yes. For homes, Struc-Arch prepares material takeoffs and cost estimates so owners know quantities and costs before work starts, and measures work and prepares running bills during construction.
Yes. Struc-Arch prepares tender-ready BOQs, rate analyses and priced schedules for contractors bidding on public and private works, and reviews tenders for clients who need to check rates and quantities.
Re-measurement is measuring the work actually done against the contract BOQ and adjusting the bill to actual quantities. It is the basis of running bills and the final account on item-rate contracts.
