Historically, the formal form of B/Qs was initiated in the United Kingdom after the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. They were mainly used by contractors for paying their workers and claiming payments from clients by submitting it as partisan final account. Particularly, B/Qs is widely used in the traditional procurement for cost estimating and as part of tender and contract document.

It is not known whether B/Qs in its current format suitable to be used with the more modern procurement systems or not. Based on literature, the issue on the declining usage of B/Qs due to the non-traditional procurement system adopted in construction industry has been encountered in the UK, Australia and also Malaysia construction industry due to several factors.
