Quantity takeoff and BOQ services in Pakistan
MASONORA prepares quantity takeoffs and BOQs for contractors, builders and developers in Pakistan. We measure in cubic feet, square feet and running feet or in metric units, convert quantities into material terms such as bricks, cement bags and steel weights, and can align items with provincial schedules of rates for public works tenders.

Which units do Pakistani BOQs use?
Private contractors commonly price excavation and concrete in cubic feet, brickwork in cubic feet, plaster, flooring and paint in square feet, and items such as skirting and railing in running feet. We measure in those units by default and can provide a metric version for consultants and overseas clients.
Can you give material quantities too?
Yes. Alongside the measured BOQ, we convert key items into the materials a contractor buys: bricks in thousands, cement in 50 kg bags, sand and crush in cubic feet, and steel by bar diameter in kilograms or tonnes. That makes the BOQ useful for ordering as well as pricing.
Do you work with schedule-of-rates items?
For public works tenders, items can be matched to the applicable provincial schedule of rates, so the contractor can calculate a premium or rebate against it. Private projects usually use a free-form BOQ by trade.
How do you treat gray structure and finishing in a BOQ?
Many Pakistani projects are contracted in two stages: gray structure, then finishing. We split the BOQ the same way, so the owner or contractor can price and award each stage on its own, and so finishing quantities can be updated later when the client chooses tiles, woodwork and fittings.
