Plumbing Estimating FAQs for G1 (Glasgow City Centre & Merchant City)
Why do G1 tenders require separate prelims & phasing clarity for plumbing?
LEZ restricted streets, narrow Merchant City lanes, and listed sandstone tenement scaffold licensing. Separating physical net BoQ items from phased call-offs and urban logistics lets contractors price risk transparently without diluting trade rates.
Do plumbing takeoffs include isolation valves, strainers, expansion vessels, and TMVs?
Yes. Every schematic valve, double-check valve, pressure reducing valve (PRV), and TMV3 blending valve shown is counted.
Can you separate 1st-fix concealed pipework/cistern frames from 2nd-fix ceramics and brassware?
Yes. 1st-fix carcase materials and concealed Geberit/IPS frames are split cleanly from 2nd-fix WC pans, basins, and taps.
