Floor Area Estimate
Approximate Estimate
Detailed Estimate
Bill of Quantities
What is a key advantage of the Volume method?
It is the fastest method
It requires no drawings
It considers the height of the building
It is the simplest method
What is the main purpose of a Bill of Quantities (BoQ)?
To provide a rough estimate

Only the height of the building
What is a disadvantage of the Approximate Estimate?
It requires detailed measurements
It is highly accurate
It is time-consuming
