Cost control starts on page one of your BoQ.
Look for quantities and rates:
1. How many metres, how many numbers?
2. What is the rate for each unit?
3. Does each line show quantity times rate?
Be careful with lines marked "lump sum". They are hard to track and hard to compare between quotes.
When the work starts, you can check what has been built against what was measured. That is real cost control.
