dc.description.abstract In construction projects the Bill of Quantities (BOQ) has become a vital document in post contract stage as well as in pre contract stage, since the BOQ address the important three aspects of a project, that are time, cost and quality. Therefore, it is necessary to illustrate that if there is any error in BOQ that would directly affect the base of the construction projects. As a result, all stakeholders involved in a project have an extremely higher concern on those three aspects, as having an error free BOQ is vitally important. Errors can occur during preparation stage and pricing stage of the BOQ. Further, to minimize BOQ errors it is important to have a clear understanding on the errors which occur most frequently during preparing and pricing stages of a BOQ. Therefore, this research study is focused to identify the common errors that are being made in preparing BOQ in Sri Lankan construction industry. A literature survey was carried out to identify the importance and common errors of BOQ during preparation and pricing BOQ in construction industry and this paper presented the findings of it. The survey revealed the importance of BOQ in post contract stage as well as in pre contract stage. Moreover this research has identified the errors which occurred during preparation and pricing stages of BOQ separately, and the reasons for those errors. This would then lead to establish a mechanism to, either to eradicate or minimize errors in BOQ preparation and pricing within the construction industry and hence facilitate to sustain the BOQ as an important and reliable document in the industry. en_US
