Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

1.  BOQ = Bill of Quantities.  This is a listing of all of the materials and works to be accomplished as part of the contract.  BoQ is a very 'English' concept, derived from the old 'Standard Method of Measurement (SMM7) for more up to date information see: https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Standard_Method_of_Measurement_SMM7

2. Drawings tell you what needs to be built (ie, the design you are required to tender against and build if successful). 

3. Formulating the estimate is then a very skilled activity, for some ideas see: https://mosaicprojects.com.au/WhitePapers/WP1051_Cost_Estimating.pdf
