Measurement & Deliverable Parameters
How are EC1 (Clerkenwell, Farringdon & Finsbury) drywall packages measured and delivered?
| Estimating Parameter | Technical Specification | Standard / Audit Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement Section & Units | NRM2 Section 20 & 28 (Drylining & Suspended Ceilings) measured in m2, m, nr, sheets | 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 | EC1 Postcode District 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 EC1 (Clerkenwell, Farringdon & Finsbury) pack?
Commercial drylining subcontractors price to razor-thin margins across partition heights, single vs double boarding, fire-collar penetrations, and patresses. We track every room elevation and NBS partition tag (e.g. GypWall Classic, Twin Frame, ShaftWall) precisely.
- Adjusts for partition full-height slab-to-soffit runs above false ceilings—a major omission risk on generic takeoffs.
- Quantifies twin-layer staggered boarding, acoustic mineral wool quilt infill, and plywood patress zones.
Which drawings and UK project types are supported?
- Partition type plans & schedules
- Reflected ceiling plans (MF & lay-in grids)
- Fire strategy & acoustic rating legends

Drywall Estimating FAQs for EC1 (Clerkenwell, Farringdon & Finsbury)
Why do EC1 tenders require separate prelims & phasing clarity for drywall?
City fringe out-of-hours crane/pit-lane bookings, strict Crossrail/Underground settlement proximity checks, and congested streets. Separating physical net BoQ items from phased call-offs and urban logistics lets contractors price risk transparently without diluting trade rates.
Do you distinguish between full-height slab-to-soffit partitions and underslung ceiling partitions?
Yes. Height bands and plenum extensions above suspended ceiling zones are measured accurately using your RCP and section heights.
Are service riser shaftwalls and elevator shaft linings measured separately?
Yes. J-track I-stud ShaftWall assemblies and fire-rated riser doors/dampers are isolated cleanly.
