Price the lines of a repairs or refurbishment BoQ — cleaning and washing, damp and algae treatment, floor polishing, doors and ironmongery, electrical fittings, Armstrong ceilings, and wall skimcoat and paint. A repairs BoQ gives no extents, so you enter them and every rate is editable.
A BoQ line is usually about one of these. Switch on the ones you need.
A repairs BoQ seldom states how much there is to repair. These are starting figures — replace them with your measured quantities.
Both faces and the frame — about 4 m² for a standard door.
Nothing in the BoQ gives this figure — enter your own allowance.
Provisional "other remedial work"
Nothing in a BoQ gives these two lines. Enter your own allowance, or a share of the other remedial lines.
Applies to the rates in the table, not to your own allowances or "Other repair work" items.
Anything not in the groups above — a gate, a fascia, a window, a pump. Say what it is, how much, and what it costs per unit.
Your own figures — the city factor is not applied to them. Leave a rate blank if it does not apply; for a lump sum use quantity 1, unit "sum".

A BoQ for repairs and refurbishment usually reads like a checklist — "Cleaning and washing", "Treat dampness and algae", "Replace defective electrical fittings" — with a "Sum" where the quantity should be. The extent of the work depends on the condition of the building, which the estimator has to judge on site.
This calculator breaks each kind of line into the parts a contractor pays for and asks for the extents you measured: how many square metres of wall, how many sockets and switches, how many doors, how much ceiling. Every quantity and every rate stays editable.
1. Cleaning and washing — materials and labour per square metre of surface.
2. Dampness and algae treatment — scrubbing back the affected surface and treating it with an anti-fungal solution and sealer.
3. Floor washing and polishing — washing and machine polishing, each its own line so you can leave one out.
4. Doors and ironmongery — replacement doors at the door rates, ironmongery sets, sandblasting old steel doors, and priming and painting.
5. Electrical fittings — sockets, switches, light fittings, external lights and distribution boards replaced, by number, at the electrical accessory rates.
6. Armstrong ceiling — removing the old ceiling, the suspended grid, and 600 × 600 mineral-fibre tiles with an allowance for cutting waste.
7. Walls — scraping and preparing, a skim coat, primer, and emulsion paint at the Painting Calculator's rates and coverage.
8. Drainage and concrete repairs — allowance lines. Type the figure you want to carry.
9. Other remedial work — the provisional lines at the end of a repairs BoQ. Enter a fixed allowance or a percentage of the other lines.
Each BoQ line is normally about one or two of the groups, so the calculator lets you switch groups on and off. Inside the BoQ import, choose "Price with a calculator" on the line and the wording switches on the matching group for you: a line about skimcoating and painting walls opens with just the walls group, a line about replacing electrical fittings with just the electrical group.
Some of the starting rates have not been updated recently — only the Armstrong tile price and skim-coat labour come from a published source. Replace them with your own quotes; they are yours to edit, and the site's rates are also editable in the material rates table.
