Hypothetical measurement extract. The three extensions sum to £6,930 ex VAT. The assumed making-good item remains an allowance rather than a measured quantity.
| Reference | Work description | Decision or review note |
|---|---|---|

| B02 | Decoration to wall lining | Confirm finish and preparation |
| B03 | Local making good | Allowance pending confirmation |
How to use it
- Use a stable reference for every line and record the exact measurement source and revision.
- State whether the quantity was supplied, measured/derived or assumed. Check the unit before applying a rate.
- Calculate quantity × rate in the working copy and check important extensions independently.
- Keep allowances and qualifications visible. This is a contractor worksheet, not evidence that a professional has measured or certified a BOQ.
