Appraising the need to study on the format of bills of quantities / Shamsulhadi Bandi, Hamimah Adnan and Fadhlin Abdullah
There are concerns reported on various aspects of Bills of Quantities (BQ). This includes concerns over the BQ format that helps to organise and convey critical information to parties in construction. Although concerns over the BQ format are mentioned in various literature, these however have been h...

There are concerns reported on various aspects of Bills of Quantities (BQ).

Although concerns over the BQ format are mentioned in various literature, these however have been highlighted in fragment. Consequently, there is limited opportunity to demonstrate its enormity, in justifying a study to be conducted. Therefore, by reviewing, analysing and synthesising various issues concerning the uses of BQ, this paper seeks to provide theoretical justification on whether a study to re-examine the BQ format is impending.
