Bill_of_Quantities_VS_Activity_Schedule__1732250823.pdf
👉The main difference between a Bill of Quantities (BOQ) and an Activity Schedule
💫is that a BOQ is a detailed list of materials, labor, and equipment required for a project, while an Activity Schedule, or Schedule of Works (SoW), is a breakdown of the work tasks, durations, and dependencies.
💫A BOQ is a detailed document that breaks down a project into exact quantities using an industry-wide recognized format.
🏷It's typically used when the design is detailed and precise quantities can be calculated. A BOQ is essential for ensuring an accurate and fair bidding process.
🚧An Activity Schedule, or SoW, outlines the sequence of works, helping the project team understand the order in which tasks should be completed. It also spells out the contractor's responsibilities in broad terms.
▶️A SoW tends to clump together multiple tasks into one priced item, making it less comprehensive but arguably more accessible for certain types of projects and contractors.
