Language, units and item structure in the BOQ

A workflow guide for preparing and reviewing a BOQ. It describes professional checks and does not promise automatic recognition, compatibility or a connection that has not been verified for the project.

AiN demo: model alongside a quantity table

Check the source

Choosing a language does not choose a measurement method. Define chapter structure, item descriptions, units and the governing contract documents. Translating a heading does not establish compliance with another standard or price book.

Incorporate the data

When transferring data between workbooks, check codes, decimal separators and currency. Keep quantity and rate as separate fields, and establish whether the contractual rate includes VAT or displays it separately.

Review before issue

Before delivery, validate a complete sample item in the recipient’s expected structure. This guide does not certify AiN compliance with an Israeli or foreign standard; assess the output against the project’s specific requirements.

Review checklist

Identify the source file and revision.
Record the unit and measurement rule, and check scope boundaries.
Distinguish model data, manual completion and AI suggestions.
Record missing data or exceptions before using a quantity for pricing.

AiN uses AI and can make mistakes. These guides were prepared with AI assistance and have not been reviewed by Yaakov Avital; professional review is required before project use.
