PROJECT PROCUREMENT SERVICE
Overhead Line BOQ Review and Product Matching
Normalize an overhead line BOQ, identify missing technical data and match compatible conductors, insulators, fittings, hardware, equipment and project interfaces before quotation.
How can an EPC contractor review an incomplete overhead line BOQ before requesting quotations?
Start by separating the BOQ by voltage, structure type and product system. Normalize duplicate names, preserve every quantity, flag missing ratings and match conductor, insulation, hardware and equipment interfaces. KOVYEL returns a clarification list and a coordinated supply basis; the approved BOQ, drawings and utility specification remain the final authority.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
What this step should clarify.
- 01A normalized item list without hidden duplicates
- 02Missing technical fields separated from commercial questions
- 03Compatible product families grouped by structure or system
- 04A clear included and excluded supply boundary
- 05A quotation basis that can be checked against project documents
WORKFLOW
A controlled sequence with visible handovers.
- 01Receive the BOQ, drawings and available specifications
- 02Separate voltage classes, structures and product systems
- 03Normalize names, units and quantities
- 04Check interfaces and identify missing ratings
- 05Issue the clarification list
- 06Prepare the coordinated quotation basis

BUYER QUESTIONS
Direct procurement answers.
Can KOVYEL review a BOQ with mixed terminology?
Yes. Equivalent and duplicate descriptions can be normalized while the original item reference and quantity are preserved for traceability.
Will KOVYEL calculate a complete line design?
No. The review checks product and procurement interfaces. Route design, structural calculations and final engineering approval remain outside the supply boundary.
Can the output be used for quotation comparison?
Yes. A normalized scope and clarification list make supplier quotations easier to compare, provided every bidder follows the same approved basis.
