README: Bill of Quantities (BoQ) Dataset for a Residential Building Project 1. Research Overview This dataset contains the comprehensive Bill of Quantities (BoQ) and detailed quantity take-off calculations for a multi-story residential building project located in Zonguldak, Turkey. The data is structured to provide a complete overview of material consumption, structural requirements, and finishing works for academic and professional construction management research. 2. File and Structure File Name: BoQ_Residential_Building_Zonguldak.xlsx Format: Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) Language: The raw data labels are in Turkish to preserve the original engineering and site records. Units: Metric system (meters, m2, m3, kg). 3. Spreadsheet Tabs (Sheets) Summary The Excel file is organized into several sheets, each representing a specific construction work package: Beton (Concrete): Volume calculations for structural elements. Demir (Reinforcement Steel): Rebar weights categorized by diameter. Tuğla (Masonry): Brick counts and wall measurements. Dış Cephe (External Facade): Insulation and facade finishing area calculations. İç Metrajlar (Interior Quantities): Room-by-room flooring and wall finishing measurements. Kalfa (Site Summary): Simplified summaries used for onsite coordination and payments. 4. Comprehensive Translation Key To assist international researchers, the following tables translate the key Turkish terms used throughout the dataset: A. General Technical Terms Turkish Term English Equivalent Description Kat Floor / Level Building level designation Metraj Quantity Take-off The calculated measurement Tabliye Floor Slab Horizontal flat structural element Adet Pieces / Count Individual unit count Brüt / Net Alan Gross / Net Area Area before and after deductions (openings) Hacim (V) Volume Cubic measurement (m3) H (Yükseklik) Height / Thickness Vertical dimension
B. Structural Elements (Beton & Demir Sheets) Turkish Term English Equivalent Turkish Term English Equivalent Temel Foundation Perde Shear Wall Kolon Column Kiriş Beam Döşeme Slab Merdiven Staircase Donatı / Demir Reinforcement Steel Φ (Çap) Rebar Diameter (mm) C. Architectural & Finishing Terms (Dış Cephe, Tuğla, İç Metrajlar) Turkish Term English Equivalent Turkish Term English Equivalent Ön Cephe Front Facade Banyo Bathroom Arka Cephe Rear Facade Mutfak Kitchen Doğrama Openings (Windows/Doors) Salon Living Room Mantolama Thermal Insulation Yatak Odası Bedroom Sıva Plastering Koridor / Antre Hallway / Entrance Dik / Yatık Upright / Flat (Brick) Fayans / Seramik Tiling / Ceramics 5. Usage Notes Reinforcement: In the "Demir" sheet, 8 to 16 represent the steel bar diameters in millimeters. Total weights are typically in kilograms (kg). Net Area Principle: In the "Dış Cephe" sheet, "Toplam Net Alan" is calculated by subtracting "Doğrama" (window/door areas) from "Toplam Brüt Alan". Brick Orientation: In the "Tuğla" sheet, "Dik" (Upright) and "Yatık" (Flat) orientations change the number of bricks required per m2 (26 vs 38 pcs). Project Locations: "Zonguldak" and "Kozlu" labels refer to specific blocks or orientations of the building units. 6.
