Features: Bill of Quantities (BOQ) pricing is a cost estimation model in construction bidding and tenders where the (bidding party) provides quantities according to national unified calculation rules, and the (bidding party) submits their own bids, with the project awarded based on the lowest evaluated price. Implementing BOQ pricing facilitates the transformation of China's construction cost management functions; helps regulate market pricing behavior, standardize the construction market order, and promote orderly competition; supports enterprise healthy development; aids in controlling project investment, rationalizing resource use, promoting technological advancement, and improving labor productivity; enhances the quality of cost engineers, making them well-rounded professionals skilled in technology, economics, and management; and aligns with China's requirements for joining the World Trade Organization and integrating with international practices, thereby improving the competitiveness of domestic construction stakeholders and comprehensively elevating China's construction cost management standards. This book was written to promote and implement the "Code for Bill of Quantities Pricing in Construction Projects." It provides detailed discussions on the entire process of compiling BOQ pricing for construction projects and tendering documents, offering rich, concise, and practical content.
