Description

Urban Infrastructure Estimation and BOQ Preparation – Professional Certification

Course Overview

Urban infrastructure is the backbone of every city—encompassing roads, bridges, drainage, water supply, sewerage, street lighting, utilities, landscaping, and solid waste management systems. To ensure these projects are planned, executed, and delivered efficiently, engineers and quantity surveyors must possess a strong understanding of estimation and BOQ (Bill of Quantities) preparation.

This Professional Certification on Urban Infrastructure Estimation and BOQ Preparation is designed to help civil engineers, project estimators, quantity surveyors, and site managers master the principles, calculations, and documentation methods used in the estimation process for large-scale urban development projects. The course is tailored for projects following Indian standards such as CPWD, MoUD, and PWD SORs, and is also relevant to Smart City and AMRUT initiatives.

The program provides a complete understanding—from data collection and survey interpretation to detailed rate analysis and BOQ documentation—ensuring participants gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills applicable in real-world projects.


Course Objective

The main objective of this course is to equip professionals with end-to-end skills in estimation, costing, and BOQ preparation for urban infrastructure works, including roads, drains, utilities, public spaces, and municipal facilities. Participants will learn how to interpret drawings, quantify materials, apply correct rates, and prepare clear, auditable BOQ documents used for tenders, contracts, and billing.


Who Should Enroll

This course is ideal for:

  • Civil Engineers and Assistant Engineers working with ULBs, PWDs, or Smart City projects.

  • Quantity Surveyors and Estimators involved in municipal or infrastructure projects.

  • Project Managers and Site Engineers responsible for cost planning and control.

  • Consultants, Contractors, and Engineers-in-Charge preparing tender documents and estimates.

  • Fresh graduates aiming to build a strong foundation in infrastructure estimation practices.


Course Structure

The course consists of 15 comprehensive modules, each broken into four submodules, progressing from basic understanding to advanced estimation and documentation techniques.


MODULE 1: Introduction to Urban Infrastructure Projects

This module builds the foundation by explaining what constitutes an urban infrastructure project and how different sectors are interconnected.

  • Key components of a BOQ: description, unit, quantity, rate, and amount.

  • Estimation formats as per CPWD and MoUD.

  • Importance of standard methods of measurement.

  • The role of estimation in budgeting and tendering.


MODULE 3: Surveying and Data Collection for Estimation

Accurate data is the foundation of accurate estimation. This module covers the process of data collection and field measurement that leads to precise quantity calculations.

  • Survey types for urban projects.

  • Mapping, topographic data, and identification of underground utilities.

  • Preparing cross-sections and longitudinal sections.

  • Translating survey data into quantifiable estimates.


MODULE 4: Estimation of Urban Roads and Pavements

Road works form a large part of urban budgets. This module teaches how to calculate quantities for different layers of roads—subgrade, GSB, WMM, DBM, BC, or PQC.

  • Earthwork and granular layer estimation.

  • Bituminous and concrete pavement calculations.

  • Ancillary works like medians, curbstones, and footpaths.

  • BOQ preparation for each road element with unit rate analysis.


MODULE 5: Estimation for Urban Water Supply Networks

A well-designed water supply system is critical for any urban development. Participants learn how to compute material quantities and prepare cost estimates for complete water distribution networks.

  • Estimating pipe lengths and fittings.

  • Calculation of valve chambers, thrust blocks, and service connections.

  • Excavation, laying, and backfilling cost estimation.

  • BOQ documentation for pipelines and appurtenances.


MODULE 6: Estimation for Sewerage and Drainage Systems

This module covers estimation techniques for underground and surface drainage works, which form an essential part of urban infrastructure.

  • Sewer and stormwater line quantities based on drawings.

  • Estimation of manholes, chambers, and pumping units.

  • Material and labour cost breakdown for RCC and brick drains.

  • Rate analysis and preparation of drainage BOQ.


MODULE 7: Estimation of Urban Electrical and Street Lighting Works

Electrical infrastructure adds safety and aesthetics to urban areas. This section teaches the estimation of underground cable ducts, junction boxes, and street lighting poles.

  • Ducting and cable trench quantities.

  • Pole foundation estimation.

  • Earthing and junction box calculations.

  • BOQ and cost summary for lighting and power distribution.


MODULE 8: Estimation for Urban Landscape and Streetscape Projects

This module discusses aesthetic and environmental works such as urban parks, walkways, and green belts.

  • Estimation of horticultural components like grassing, shrubs, and trees.

  • Hard landscape works like benches, pavers, and bollards.

  • Quantities for irrigation and water features.

  • BOQ for streetscape enhancement projects.


MODULE 9: Estimation for Urban Stormwater Management and Rainwater Harvesting

With increased urban flooding, this module focuses on estimating systems that improve stormwater management and water recharge.

  • Quantities for catch pits, recharge wells, and pipelines.

  • Design-based estimation for storage and pumping structures.

  • Rate analysis of stormwater infrastructure.

  • BOQ documentation for sustainable urban water systems.


MODULE 10: Estimation for Solid Waste Management Infrastructure

  • Abstracting quantities from combined drawings.

  • Coordination between design, estimation, and billing teams.


Assessment and Certification

At the end of the course, participants undergo a practical assessment based on BOQ preparation and rate analysis for a model project. Upon successful completion, participants are awarded a Professional Certification in Urban Infrastructure Estimation and BOQ Preparation, which adds significant value to their career prospects in both government and private sectors.
