Measurement & Deliverable Parameters
How are West Yorkshire county takeoffs audited and formatted?
| Estimating Parameter | Technical Specification | Standard / Audit Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Applicable Standards | Building Regulations (Approved Documents Parts A–S) & Building Safety Act (BSA) Gateways 1–3 | Applied alongside West Yorkshire planning & material expectations |
| Drawing Scales & Units | 1:50 & 1:100 GA plans calibrated independently in mm, m, m2, m3 & t | Every line linked to drawing sheet reference and structural grid |
| Wastage & Prelim Split | 5%–10% typical trade waste isolated from net quantities | Sloped contour plots frequently increase retaining wall, gabion, and bulk cut-and-fill volume weighting. |
| Deliverable Format | 100% open-formula Excel + colour PDF check drawings (24–48 hr target small jobs) | Upload files up to 25 MB through our UK tender portal |
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.
