Recent work
Tender BOQ: multi-stage aged care development, Southern Highlands NSW
A commercial formwork contractor needed a tender-ready structure package. HYKSOS measured the full concrete skeleton: 449 columns, suspended slabs, walls and footings, with reinforcement taken off the drawing specifications. Delivered as a priced-ready Excel BOQ plus a one-page tender summary the estimator could sign and submit.
FRP takeoff: luxury duplex, Rose Bay, Sydney
Full form, reinforce and pour takeoff: edgeboard, joints, piers, suspended slabs and steel schedules, measured level by level and issued with marked-up drawings so the site team could see exactly where every quantity came from. Revised and reissued the same week the structural set changed.
Tiling and stone BOQ: multi-residential project, Sydney
Room-by-room tiling and stone takeoff across every level: floors, walls, waterproofing and screeds split by finish code, floors measured gross and walls net to match how tilers actually price. The client used the BOQ to negotiate the subcontract with line-item confidence.
