Frequently Asked Questions About Working Together
Do your construction estimates follow UK RICS NRM2 measurement rules?
Yes. We structure bills of quantities to RICS NRM2 work sections (or SMM7 / RIBA Stage elemental NRM1 budgets where requested), ensuring domestic subcontractors, main contractors, and quantity surveyors can audit every measurement against your drawing register.
What files do I receive when a takeoff or estimate is completed?
You receive an open-formula Microsoft Excel workbook (trade summary, line-by-line quantities, waste factors, and notes tabs), colour-coded PDF drawing mark-ups verifying measured zones, and a written RFI / clarification sheet flagging any drawing discrepancies or missing details.
Can I commission a single specialist trade rather than a whole-project estimate?
Yes. Many subcontractors come to us exclusively for single-trade takeoffs—such as drylining, roofing, brickwork, structural steelwork, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, groundworks, or concrete rebar—while main contractors often commission multi-trade tender packages.
