Doors & Windows Estimating FAQs for EH1 (Edinburgh Old Town & St James Quarter)
Why do EH1 tenders require separate prelims & phasing clarity for doors & windows?
Historic Royal Mile/Old Town closes demanding small-vehicle skip exchange, heritage watchpoints, and acoustic screens. Separating physical net BoQ items from phased call-offs and urban logistics lets contractors price risk transparently without diluting trade rates.
Do you check if window schedules match what is actually drawn on plans and elevations?
Yes. Discrepancies in opening counts, handing (LH/RH), fire escapes, or U-values/acoustic specs are flagged immediately on our discrepancy log.
Are pressed aluminium cills, cavity closers, and expanding foam/Compacfoam packs included?
Yes. Cill projections, head closers, perimeter EPDM weather-sealing, and acoustic mastic are itemised cleanly.
