Cost Management

Measured Documentation for Transparent Tender Pricing.

ATR prepares measured Bills of Quantities to provide a structured basis for contractor pricing, tender comparison and subsequent cost control.

Service Overview

Bills of Quantities

A Bill of Quantities converts the available design into a consistent measured pricing document. It can improve tender transparency by giving contractors a common quantity and description basis, while also providing a useful reference for tender analysis and variation assessment.
