How to make a department-wise BOQ for a medical college

What a good BOQ contains

One row per item, with these columns:

• Department and room (for example, Anatomy, dissection hall)
• Item name
• Specification or model requirements
• Quantity and unit
• Notes, such as preferred brand or size

Step by step

1. List your departments and rooms for the year you are setting up.
2. Start from a department list, such as the lists on this website, and tick what you need.
3. Set quantities from your own plan: number of students per batch, rooms, beds and the current official norms.
4. Add specifications for major items; choose a standard or advanced version, or ask a supplier to suggest one.
5. Combine common items across departments (chairs, almirahs, centrifuges) to see total quantities.
6. Get quotations from suppliers on the same BOQ, so prices compare line by line.
7. Finalise and issue purchase orders, keeping the BOQ as your master record.

Common mistakes

• Forgetting furniture for offices, faculty rooms, museums and teaching rooms.
• Leaving specifications blank on expensive items, which makes quotes hard to compare.
• Counting the same item twice in two departments without noticing.
