BOQ preparation in Chennai, without the Chennai wait
Getting a proper bill of quantities in Chennai usually means finding a quantity surveyor with free bandwidth, couriering or emailing drawings back and forth, and waiting a week for a spreadsheet with no measurement backup. We compress that to 48 hours: our AI measures your drawings following IS 1200 conventions, an engineer verifies every sheet, and you receive the BOQ, measurement sheets, and abstract of cost by email and WhatsApp.
We work with projects across Chennai and Tamil Nadu — OMR, Porur, Tambaram, Avadi, and Guduvancheri — for contractors bidding on work, builders verifying estimates, owners planning a house, and architects who need a tender-ready bill without holding up the design team. Rates can follow TN PWD Schedule of Rates conventions for tender and government submissions, or current Chennai market rates for private work; indicative residential construction cost in Chennai runs around Rs 1,700–2,400 per sq ft, and a measured BOQ tells you where your project actually sits in that band.

What you receive
- Item-wise BOQ in Excel — earthwork to finishes, with units, quantities, and rates
- L×B×D measurement sheets, so every quantity is traceable to the drawing
- Abstract of cost with section-wise subtotals and GST
- Cement, steel, and key material consumption summary

Material prices in Chennai vs the national average
Indicative market prices, August 2026 — ex-GST, small retail lots. Your BOQ is priced on current quoted rates or TN PWD Schedule of Rates figures, not these indicative numbers.
| Material | Chennai (Rs) | National avg (Rs) | Variance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cement (OPC 43) (per 50 kg bag) | 420 | 390 | +8% |
| TMT steel (Fe500D) (per kg) | 58 | 56 | +4% |
| Sand (river / M-sand) (per cft) | 60 | 55 | +9% |
| Aggregate (20 mm) (per cft) | 42 | 40 | +5% |
| Bricks (class A) (per 1,000) | 8,000 | 7,000 | +14% |
| Mason (skilled) (per day) | 950 | 900 | +6% |
Why Chennai differs: Southern cement pricing runs high; M-sand has stabilised fine-aggregate costs after river sand restrictions. Always verify with two or three local quotations before committing a rate — and compare quotes properly with a comparative statement. For how these input prices become item rates, see the rate analysis guide.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a BOQ prepared in Chennai?
Upload your PDF or DWG drawings (or share a Google Drive link) using the form on this page, with your email and WhatsApp number. We confirm scope on WhatsApp, and your measured BOQ with L×B×D measurement sheets is delivered within 48 hours. Everything happens online — no office visit needed in Chennai.
Which rates do you use for Chennai projects?
Your choice of basis: TN PWD Schedule of Rates-style rates for tender and government work, or current Chennai market rates for private projects. Indicative residential construction cost in Chennai runs around Rs 1,700–2,400 per sq ft depending on specification — but your BOQ is built from measured quantities, not a per-sq-ft assumption.
Is the first BOQ really free?
Yes. Your first project is completely free — it is how we demonstrate the takeoff quality. Additional projects move to a paid plan, shared transparently before you commit.
Do you handle projects outside Chennai city limits?
Yes. We regularly prepare BOQs for projects across Tamil Nadu, including OMR, Porur, Tambaram, Avadi, and Guduvancheri. The process is fully online, so location within the state makes no difference.
