Structured Measurement
Organised measured quantities that improve visibility across the scope of works.
Bills of Quantities
Bills of Quantities services for contractors who need structured quantities and clearer commercial information.
Millimetre Estimating Limited provides BOQ support for contractors and commercial teams needing organised quantities, clearer scope breakdowns, and better structure for pricing, review, and procurement decisions.
What A BOQ Helps With
Structured quantities that improve pricing clarity and commercial control.
Bills of Quantities are useful where a project needs more than a headline estimate. They help break work into clearer measured elements, which supports pricing review, procurement, commercial comparison, and stronger understanding of scope.
The service is suited to contractors working across Glasgow, Scotland, and the wider UK through a document-led workflow based on issued drawings and project information.
Typical Uses
BOQs are usually most useful in these situations.
The exact level of detail varies, but these are the main commercial uses for Bills of Quantities.
Pricing Review
Better structure for reviewing rates, returns, and commercial allowances across packages or tender submissions.
Procurement Support
Clearer quantity breakdowns that help with package comparison, procurement planning, and commercial coordination.
Who It Fits
Best suited to contractors needing more structure than a simple estimate alone.
- Contractors needing clearer quantities across a project or package.
- Commercial teams reviewing scope, pricing, and procurement decisions.
- Projects where measurement and commercial clarity need to work together.
- Teams requiring better structure before pricing comparison or tender review.
Why It Matters
BOQs help improve consistency in commercial decision-making.
A stronger BOQ can reduce ambiguity, improve pricing consistency, and help make commercial review more dependable. It gives contractors a clearer base for comparing packages, understanding scope, and planning procurement with more confidence.
