Generate a bill of quantities in minutes, not days
MyQS turns your photos, floor plans and project descriptions into professionally structured NRM1 bills of quantities — with itemised breakdowns, trade categories and current UK rates.
What is a bill of quantities?
A bill of quantities (BoQ) is the industry-standard document for pricing construction work. It lists every item of work on a project — from excavation to final fix — with quantities, unit rates and total costs. In the UK, BoQs follow the RICS New Rules of Measurement (NRM1), which ensures consistent trade categories, measurement units and cost breakdowns across the industry.
Traditionally, preparing a BoQ requires a quantity surveyor and takes days or weeks depending on project complexity. MyQS automates this process — you upload your project information and receive a structured BoQ in minutes, formatted to the same professional standard.
Whether you are a sole trader pricing a bathroom refit or a builder tendering for a multi-room extension, a professional BoQ demonstrates credibility, reduces disputes and helps you win work.
