(a) quantity survey
Quantity surveying is carried out to determine, or at least make a reasonable estimate of, the cost of all items, likely to be incurred in a construction contract. This can be summarised in a Bill of Quantities, as identified by Eodd, but the actual process referred to here is a Quantity Survey.

a bill of quantities (BOQ)
A bill of quantities (BOQ) is a document used in tendering in the construction industry in which materials, parts, and labor (and their costs) are itemized. It also (ideally) details the terms and conditions of the construction or repair contract and itemises all work to enable a contractor to price the work for which he or she is bidding.
