Measurement & Deliverable Parameters
How are SE1 (Southwark, Bankside, London Bridge & Bermondsey) doors & windows packages measured and delivered?
| Estimating Parameter | Technical Specification | Standard / Audit Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement Section & Units | NRM2 Section 24 & 25 (Doors, Windows & Curtain Walling) measured in nr, m2, m, sets | 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 | SE1 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 SE1 (Southwark, Bankside, London Bridge & Bermondsey) pack?
Nothing derails a fenestration or fit-out bid faster than mismatched architectural window schedules and plan openings. We reconcile every opening—PPC aluminium frames, composite heritage casements, structural glass roofs, automatic entrance doors, and FD30S/FD60S fire doorsets.
- Cross-checks structural opening width/height against elevation drawings and highlights conflicts in an RFI tab.
- Distinguishes Part Q laminated security glass, acoustic attenuation dB units, and obscure bathroom glazing.
Which drawings and UK project types are supported?

Doors & Windows Estimating FAQs for SE1 (Southwark, Bankside, London Bridge & Bermondsey)
Why do SE1 tenders require separate prelims & phasing clarity for doors & windows?
Network Rail viaduct acoustic vibration zones, Borough Market congested lanes, and Thames groundwater basement controls. 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.
