Selected SOR

Choose the controlling SOR in the form.

Keep item codes, technical qualifiers, and cost index aligned for audit-ready BOQs.

PWD checklist

Item code remains the controlling reference.
Grade, ratio, thickness, depth, and level should be explicit.
Cost index and statutory additions should be transparent.
Non-SOR items should be separated in notes.

BOQ preparation

Clearer SOR-linked input for architects and estimate reviewers

The layout below keeps the existing estimate engine compatible, but makes the data easier to enter, verify, and explain during PWD review.

Sub-head based structure Measurement-driven rooms and floors Visible specification notes Optional cost index and statutory controls

01Project setup and SOR basis

Use this section like a cover sheet for the estimate so the report shows the work title, SOR basis, district, and specification reference clearly.

Project title

Document type

Client or authority name

Contact number

Project site and address

District

PWD division or circle

Controlling SOR

Cost index percent

Specification reference

Project note

02Plot and site measurements

These inputs drive earthwork, site development, boundary, and open-area estimates. Keep them consistent with your measurement sheet.

Plot area (sqm)

Ground coverage (sqm)

Porch and driveway (sqm)

Garden area (sqm)

Rear utility area (sqm)

Boundary wall length (m)

Front width (m)

Plot length (m)

Main gate width (m)

03BOQ specification controls

Store the technical qualifiers here so the generated report explains the intended grade, ratio, thickness, and execution level behind the estimate.

Building category

Execution lift or level

Concrete grade

Mortar ratio

Steel grade

Plaster thickness and finish

Excavation depth

Opening note

Specification note

04Structural schedule

Columns

List each recurring column size used in the project.

Footings

Keep footing sizes clear because they drive earthwork and PCC quantities.

Plinth beams

Capture separate beam runs when the footprint changes.

Staircases

Use one schedule per staircase for RCC and railing clarity.

05Floor and room abstract

Room names affect flooring, wall tile, and plumbing logic. Use clear labels like toilet, bathroom, kitchen, staircase room, or mumty where relevant.

Building floors

Start with the ground floor and add more only where the building rises.

Terrace and parapet

Keep terrace data separate so parapet and excluded rooms remain easy to review.

Terrace floor

Parapet and terrace rooms

Built-up area (sqm)

Carpet area (sqm)

Outer perimeter (m)

Roof slab area (sqm)

Parapet wall length (m)

Terrace rooms

Use staircase tower or mumty where flooring should be excluded.

06Openings schedule

Doors

Choose the dominant door construction once, then add sizes below.

Door type

Windows

The selected type controls the recommended width options.

07Commercial and statutory rules

These percentages are optional and user-controlled. They are intended to keep cost index and statutory additions visible in the report.

Labor cess percent

GST percent

Insurance percent
