Commercial Estimating FAQs for L1 (Central Liverpool & Waterfront Core)
Why do L1 tenders require separate prelims & phasing clarity for commercial?
Grade I dockside conservation constraints, exposed Mersey wind zones, and city-core delivery windows. Separating physical net BoQ items from phased call-offs and urban logistics lets contractors price risk transparently without diluting trade rates.
Can you split commercial estimates by RIBA stage or JCT subcontractor trade package?
Yes. Workbooks can be organised by NRM2 trade package (for issuing subcontractor enquiries) and rolled up to an executive tender summary.
Do you measure acoustic, fire-rated, and specialist commercial partition build-ups separately?
Yes. Every wall type (single/twin stud, dB rating, 30/60/90-minute fire rating, deflection heads) is tracked as its own line item.
