Quantity takeoff and BOQ services in the UAE
MASONORA prepares quantity takeoffs and bills of quantities for UAE contractors, fit-out companies and developers. We measure to POMI, RICS NRM or the tender format, check issued quantities on remeasurable FIDIC contracts, and produce fit-out BOQs quickly for office, retail and hospitality spaces, all in metric units and the tender’s item structure.

Why do quantities matter on remeasured contracts?
Many UAE projects use FIDIC conditions where the works are remeasured and the BOQ quantities are only an estimate. Payment follows the measured quantities, so an accurate independent takeoff helps forecast cash flow, spot items that will grow or shrink, and value variations from the start.
Do you prepare fit-out BOQs?
Yes. Fit-out tenders move quickly, often with drawings still developing. We measure partitions, ceilings, flooring, joinery, wall finishes and MEP modifications room by room, so a fit-out contractor can price the package and track changes as the design is finalized.
Can you follow a master developer’s format?
Yes. Where a master developer or main contractor issues its own BOQ template and measurement rules, our quantities follow them exactly, including their item numbering and descriptions.
How fast can a fit-out BOQ be turned around?
Fit-out tenders often allow days rather than weeks. We confirm a delivery date before starting, prioritize the trades with the highest value, and can deliver the BOQ in stages if that helps your team start pricing early. The final issue includes a change log against any interim version.

Quantity takeoff and BOQ services in the UAE: questions answered
Do you prepare fit-out quantities?
Yes. Office, retail, restaurant and hospitality fit-outs are measured room by room by trade.
Can you check a remeasurable BOQ?
Yes. We measure independently and compare against the issued quantities so you can see which items are likely to change on remeasurement.
Do you measure to NRM?
Yes, where the tender specifies RICS NRM. Otherwise we follow POMI or the format issued with the tender.
Do you handle variations after award?
Yes. Variations are measured from revised drawings and compared with the contract BOQ for valuation.
Can you measure joinery and loose furniture?
Fixed joinery is measured by item and size from the joinery drawings. Loose furniture is usually scheduled separately as an owner or FF&E item.
