Frequently Asked Questions
How is an interior BOQ different from a civil BOQ?
Interior BOQs cover furniture, false ceiling, finishes, and fittings, priced mostly per sqft or per unit, rather than structural items like concrete and masonry.
What unit is used for modular furniture in a BOQ?
Usually square feet for cabinetry/wardrobes (based on shutter area) or per-number for standalone units, depending on the vendor’s pricing convention.
Can I combine an interior BOQ with a civil BOQ?
Yes — for a full renovation or new-build project, both are often compiled together with a combined abstract of cost, but kept as separate sections since item types differ significantly.
