From BoQ to a price / carbon comparison.
Before it goes out to tender, a bill of quantities has to be priced. At that stage every item has its price but none has an order-of-magnitude carbon figure, so substitutions are made by guesswork. Our price & carbon analysis provides this missing link and pinpoints the items where the gains are real.
A bill of quantities goes out to tender with its prices and without its carbon, even though both are decided on the same lines. We quantify both columns side by side, item by item, at a point when changing a material is still a matter of fine-tuning.
Measure the real impact of your project and target the gains your bill of quantities makes possible.
Every item compared in euros and in embodied carbon, with the substitutions that improve price and carbon, and the items that are missing compared with a complete specification.

Send a BoQWhat you save on one item can fund a decision elsewhere that weighs far more in carbon terms. Our analysis reads price and carbon together, which lets you weigh up these choices and identify the items that have a real impact on your project.
Where an alternative exists, the report names it and quantifies it: a biobased, circular or low-impact option that replaces the original item, backed by technical data.
Our analysis checks your bill of quantities against what the site will actually require, and picks out missing or inconsistent items before the tender locks them in.
Our prices are market averages with their range, not quotes. The precision is that of an order of magnitude, which is the right level for making decisions at design stage. Our sources are documented.
Writing the specification and weighing trade-offs across a whole project fall under the project study.
