Service Line One
Initial Take-Off / Unpriced BoQ Production
POA
At BGS Consult, we recognise the foundational importance of the initial measurement in securing a profitable subcontract, BGS Consult will deliver a professional take-off service. Leveraging our proficiency in modern masonry construction methods and utilising Bluebeam software, we will generate a comprehensive set of working, colour-coded drawings. These drawings will meticulously clarify the measured items included as part of the Scope of Works to ensure that our clients have the confidence that every element within their package scope has been covered. We also understand that the BoQ is the cornerstone of the commercial aspect of building subcontracts. It serves as the comprehensive guide that delineates all components contributing to the Contract Sum. For subcontractors, it is an indispensable tool for effective post-contract management, especially in handling future variations and valuations. Our approach values the necessity of precise referencing for material specifications and drawing numbers, as well as the revision codes of these documents. This attention to detail is fundamental in facilitating the seamless tracking of drawing changes throughout the project's evolution, leading to more accurate valuations and healthy, well managed variation accounts.

Pricing of Work / Bid Preparation
POA
At BGS Consult, we recognise the next fundamental step of producing a successful and high quality tender submission is the assurance that the measured items are well priced, competitive and align with the current market conditions. Throughout the pricing stage, we continue to adopt a detailed approach respecting product datasheets to ensure robust schedules of each material required can be presented and accurately priced. The aforementioned process, allows us to produce well priced, competitive BOQs that surpass expectations. We also understand that to take-off a high value masonry package, layout in BoQ format and apply accurate, competitive rates to each measured item is a time consuming process and coupled with tight tender return deadlines the presentation and professionalism of the submission document is commonly overlooked by subcontractors, meaning the quality of your commercial documents may not align with your company’s drive to deliver high quality workmanship on site. We have developed bespoke bid submission templates that clearly and professionally presents the returned price, basis of offer, assumptions, exclusions and priced BoQ schedule, helping to positively enhance your company's image and respect for quality.
