How to Check a RAB / BOQ.

Scope, quantities, units, rates, specifications, exclusions and provisional items should be checked before comparing contractor prices. A BOQ that looks complete can still hide cost exposure if descriptions are vague or items are omitted.

Use the BOQ / RAB Readiness Check before appointment, then request a professional cost review when the project value or uncertainty is high.

What to do next

Use the relevant PROJECTCHECK check or consultation for an initial review. For material commercial, structural or contractual decisions, use the appropriate professional service.
