Measurement & Deliverable Parameters
How are Surrey waterproofing packages measured and delivered?
| Estimating Parameter | Technical Specification | Standard / Audit Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement Section & Units | BS 8102 Type A/B/C Structural Waterproofing measured in m2, m, nr | 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 | Surrey 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 Surrey pack?
UK basements, lift pits, and podium slabs carry strict BS 8102 Grade 3 habitable criteria where omitting one service-penetration collar or perimeter drainage channel causes expensive leaks. Our CSSW-style measurement covers full triple/dual combined systems.
- Separates vertical retaining wall tanking (plus 500mm floor/ceiling laps), lift shaft pit linings, and podium inverted waterproofing.
- Captures sump pump stations, dual battery backups, high-water alarms, and inspection rodding eyes.
Which drawings and UK project types are supported?
- Basement GA & retaining wall sections
- Structural pile/slab construction joint drawings
- Podium & balcony threshold details

Waterproofing Estimating FAQs for Surrey
What does a Surrey waterproofing estimate include?
Every workbook provides net measured quantities in m2, m, nr, colour-coded PDF drawing mark-ups, separated material vs labour lines, and clarifications covering Surrey site requirements.
Can you measure combined Type A + Type B + Type C BS 8102 systems on one basement?
Yes. Type A external liquid/sheet membranes, Type B integral waterstops at day joints, and Type C internal cavity drained membranes/channels are itemised in clear layers.
Do you count service entry pipe collars and puddle flanges through retaining walls?
Yes—incoming utility sleeves and drainage wall penetrations shown on MEP basement plans are counted as watertight collars.
