BOQ vs SQFT | Don’t Build Your House Before Watching This | Buildiyo

Are you planning to build your dream home and wondering whether to choose BOQ (Bill of Quantities) or SQFT-based pricing? Many homeowners compare builders only based on the per-square-foot rate. However, what looks cheaper initially can often result in hidden costs, scope confusion, and budget overruns during construction. In this video, we compare BOQ vs SQFT pricing and explain why understanding your project’s actual scope is more important than simply comparing square-foot rates. ⸻ 🏗️ What Is Covered In This Video? ✅ What is BOQ (Bill of Quantities)? ✅ What is SQFT-based construction pricing? ✅ Key differences between BOQ and SQFT methods ✅ Hidden exclusions commonly found in SQFT quotations ✅ How BOQ provides complete cost transparency ✅ Why homeowners should understand project scope before construction starts ⸻ 📊 BOQ vs SQFT Pricing SQFT Pricing • Cost calculated per square foot of construction area • Appears simple and easy to compare • May not clearly define project scope • Can lead to additional costs during execution BOQ Pricing • Item-wise quantity and cost breakdown • Material brands and specifications clearly defined • Labour and execution costs detailed separately • Greater transparency and budget control • Helps avoid misunderstandings and hidden expenses ⸻ 💡 Why BOQ Matters A detailed BOQ helps homeowners understand: ✔ Quantity of materials being used ✔ Material specifications and brands ✔ Labour costs involved ✔ Scope of work included in the project ✔ Additional works and optional items ✔ Overall project budget before construction begins Instead of asking: ❌ “What is your construction cost per square foot?” Ask: ✅ “What exactly is included in my quotation?” That’s where BOQ creates complete clarity. ⸻ 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Who Should Watch This Video? ✔ First-time homeowners ✔ Families planning house construction ✔ People comparing multiple builders ✔ Clients looking for transparent pricing ✔ Civil engineering students and professionals ✔ Anyone wanting to avoid construction budget surprises ⸻ Why Buildiyo Uses BOQ At Buildiyo, we believe construction should be transparent from day one.
