TASKS
Students are required to prepare Bills of Quantities (BOQ) including preliminaries and groundworks for the
given drawings on ‘Proposed Orion Park’ in accordance with the Australian and New Zealand Standard
Method of Measurement for Building Works (ANZSMM). You are expected to measure one typical unit (the
unit between Grids 1-4 and Grids A-C).
You are required to compile the take-off list, measurement sheet, query sheet and BOQ. (Hint: For
preliminaries, no need to prepare, take-off list, measurement sheet and query sheet). Please use the
templates provided. Please note that you are NOT required to price the BOQ. Pricing is taught in a
different course.
Recommended procedure:
• First, you need to identify the items that should be measured for Groundworks using the take-off
sheet, while referring to the given project drawings and ANZSMM.
• Next, take-off quantities for those identified items using the measurement sheets, following
measurement rules in ANZSMM and referring to project drawings and specifications.
• Use query sheet to mention the queries/assumptions made on missing details/ discrepancies. In the
query sheet, both columns should be filled. That is the query and your assumed answer.
• BOQ for Preliminaries and Groundworks – For Groundworks BOQ, use the quantities you measured
in the measurement sheets, also remember to add appropriate ‘preamble notes’ and ‘trade
preliminary items’ before those measured items to make a complete BoQ. Preamble notes and trade
preliminary items are listed at the beginning of each ANZSMM section. For Preliminary BOQ, include
minimum 8 preliminaries that are applicable to the given drawing.
1.Identification of relevant items in the take-off list (5 marks)
2.Following proper measurement steps in the given format with sensible queries/assumptions made in the query sheet (20 marks
3.Presentation of the BOQ for Preliminaries (5 marks
4.Presentation of the BOQ for Groundworks (5 marks
