Abstract
Bills of Quantities (BQ) is a systematic method used in the construction sector, primarily aimed at documenting work items for tendering and establishing a fair contract among the involved parties. However, there are several challenges related to the functions of BQ, such as it being a commonly misunderstood aspect of the construction industry, its perceived utility being limited to tendering purposes, the construction team not fully leveraging its advantages, and many professionals struggling to connect BQ with daily construction tasks and processes. Consequently, this paper aims to explore the significance of BQ and its roles within the construction industry.
