How is internal finishes measured under RICS NRM2?

High-specification UK interiors combine multiple finishing trades within tight room tolerances. Our finishes schedules cross-reference room datasheets, internal elevations, and reflected ceiling plans so plasterers, ceiling fixers, tilers, and joiners price aligned areas.

Breaks down ceiling bulkhead drops, perimeter shadow-gap trims, and light troughs explicitly.
Separates full-height porcelain wall tiling from half-height splashbacks and decorative stainless corner trims.

Finishes Estimating FAQs

Can you format finishes estimates room by room as well as consolidated by trade?

Yes. Our workbooks typically provide a Consolidated Trade Summary tab alongside a Room Matrix tab so site supervision can verify every zone.

Are commercial washroom IPS duct panelling, cubicles, mirrors, and hand dryers included?

Yes—specialist washroom fit-out items shown on WC interior plans are measured completely.

Do you separate traditional sand-cement lime plaster on heritage substrates from gypsum multi-finish?

Yes. Breathable NHL lime plaster coats, haired basecoats, and insulated lime systems are strictly distinguished from standard gypsum plasters.
