Construction Estimating FAQs for L1 (Central Liverpool & Waterfront Core)
Why do L1 tenders require separate prelims & phasing clarity for construction?
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.
Which UK measurement standard do your construction estimates follow?
Schedules can be structured to RICS NRM2 work sections, SMM7 conventions, or your in-house contractor tender workbook format in Excel.
Can you isolate exclusions, provisional sums, and drawing ambiguities?
Yes. Every tender pack includes an RFI and clarification log flagging missing structural details, unscheduled ironmongery, or provisional M&E allowances.
