Measurement & Deliverable Parameters
How are Cheshire landscaping packages measured and delivered?
| Estimating Parameter | Technical Specification | Standard / Audit Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement Section & Units | NRM2 Section 33–35 (External Works, Fencing & Planting) measured in m2, m, nr, m3, tonnes | Scaled GA plans at 1:50 / 1:100 or structural details in mm |
| Local Statutory Framework | Building Regulations (Approved Documents Parts A–S) & Building Safety Act (BSA) Gateways 1–3 | England statutory & local tender compliance notes |
| Wastage & Prelim Separation | Net quantities isolated with 5%–10% typical trade waste allowances | Cheshire County logistics and phased delivery allowances |
| Deliverables & Drawing Uploads | 100% open-formula Excel BoQ + colour-coded PDF overlays (up to 25 MB upload) | 24–48 hrs turnaround target for focused single-trade packages |
Calibration note: 1:50 and 1:100 architectural and structural drawings are scaled to 25 mm masonry tolerances and 100 mm thermal zones, isolating 5 percent to 10 percent wastage from net quantities.
What is measured in every Cheshire pack?
From commercial public-realm plazas and SuDS green roofs to residential development gardens, landscaping bids often suffer from rough square-metre guesses on sub-bases and kerb haunching. We break down every wearing course, bedding mortar, edging kerb, fence post, and planting density.
- Links planting matrices cleanly with m2 bed density (e.g. 5–7 shrubs/m2), pit root-ball volumes, stakes, and irrigation/tree grilles.
- Differentiates permeable SuDS aggregate buildup from standard MOT Type 1 mortar-bed patios.
Which drawings and UK project types are supported?
