What you get

A pack that goes straight into your tender file.

Not a PDF you have to retype. A working set of documents built for you to price, compare and send out — back within 72 hours, guaranteed.

Bill of quantities trade rows showing code, description, quantity, unit, rate, amount and an evidence grade on every line — **The bill of quantities.** Every line carries its code, quantity, unit, the rate applied and a grade — REAL, DERIVED, ESTIMATE or PS — so you can see at a glance how well evidenced each number is.

Estimate by trade summary table with each trade's amount and its percentage of total cost — **The cost summary.** Every trade, its amount, and what share of the job it is — so you can see where the money actually sits before you price anything.

Construction programme Gantt chart with trade-by-trade durations and the critical path — **The programme.** Durations derived from the measured quantities, trade by trade, with the critical path marked — which is what preliminaries should actually be sized against.

Findings register listing what did not line up in the documents, each rated high, medium or low, with what to do about it — **What did not line up.** Each finding rated, explained, and paired with what we would do about it. On one recent set that included a pool volume that breached its own consent condition.

Basis, assumptions and exclusions page listing the documents estimated from and what was excluded — **The basis, in writing.** Every document we estimated from, every document referenced but never issued, every assumption and every exclusion — so nothing is implied.

Editable Excel bill of quantities

Trade by trade. Every line with its quantity, its unit, the drawing it came from and a confidence grade.

A Your Rate column sits beside ours — type your numbers in and every subtotal and total updates on the spot. Your pricing stays yours.

▤

Estimate and take-off report

What we measured, how we proved the drawings were to scale, everything that did not line up, the checks we ran, the risks ranked with a dollar sensitivity on each, and the basis and exclusions in writing.

↗

Quote sheets for your subbies

One per package trade, carrying the scope, the measured quantities, what to include and exclude, and a blank price box.

None of your costs appear on them. Forward them as they are and every quote comes back on the same basis, so you can actually compare them.

⚑

Assumptions, exclusions, site read

Every assumption written down, every exclusion listed, every allowance flagged as an allowance. Plus a plain statement of how hard your site is to build on, with the evidence, so preliminaries are sized for the block you actually have.

Structural detail showing reinforcement, slab thickness and footing construction — Structural quantities — slab thicknesses, reinforcement, concrete strength — are what drive both the cost and the programme.

Also on the list

A programme and labour tool.

Cost and time are the same problem. Preliminaries scale with programme, not floor area, and labour is the biggest variable in both.

We are building a scheduling module that turns the measured quantities into a trade-by-trade programme, so the preliminaries and labour in your estimate are derived from a real duration instead of a rule of thumb.

If that would be useful to you, say so when you send your first set. Early clients get to shape it.

Low friction

Not ready to send a whole set? Send one drawing.

Send or call about a single sheet from a job you have already priced, and we will measure it and tell you straight how our number compares to yours. No charge, no obligation — and you will learn more from that than from anything on this page.
