Description

A complete instrumentation BOQ template in Excel for instrument installation works. It runs from field instruments, stands and impulse tubing to instrument cables, glands, terminations, junction boxes, control panels, earthing, calibration, loop checks and commissioning. Use it as a QS to issue a tender, or as a contractor to price one.

Instruments are often free issue. This BOQ prices supply and installation separately on every line, so free-issue items drop out of supply and the installation is still measured and claimed properly.

What’s included in the instrumentation BOQ

• 277 line items across 12 bills and 50 sections
• Bill 1 Preliminaries & General: fixed and time-related P&G, site staff, vehicles, plant and travel
• Field instruments: pressure, DP, temperature, level, flow, analysers and gas detection, valve instrumentation, switches and sensors
• Instrument stands, brackets, sunshades and fabricated supports
• Impulse tubing, fittings, manifolds and instrument air distribution, with hook-up testing
• Cable tray, ladder, conduit, underground ducts and pits
• Signal, control, instrument power, fieldbus, fibre optic and earthing cables by size
• Glands, terminations per cable end, fibre terminations and labelling
• Junction boxes, field panels, control panels, control room hardware and network equipment
• Instrument earthing and surge protection

• Provisional sums and daywork rates

Built for real tenders

• Supply rate, install rate and S&I rate on every line, with supply, install and total amounts.
• Supply By and Install By columns. Free-issue and “by others” items drop out of the totals automatically.
• A scope of work under every bill and a reference documents line under every section, plus a drawing register sheet.
• Cost by area or building on the Summary.
• Pricing checks flag lines with a quantity but no rate before you issue or submit.
• Contingency, tax and tender sum carry to a signed tenderer’s declaration on the cover.

Works with the rest of the set

The rows match the Instrumentation Daily Progress Tracker and the Instrumentation Payment Certificate. Your priced BOQ pastes straight into the monthly claim.
