Why do SW1 tenders require separate prelims & phasing clarity for internal finishes?
Tight Westminster delivery slots, party-wall vibration monitoring, acoustic hoardings, and hand-balling access in listed mews. Separating physical net BoQ items from phased call-offs and urban logistics lets contractors price risk transparently without diluting trade rates.
Can you format finishes estimates room by room as well as consolidated by trade?
Yes. Our workbooks typically provide a Consolidated Trade Summary tab alongside a Room Matrix tab so site supervision can verify every zone.
Are commercial washroom IPS duct panelling, cubicles, mirrors, and hand dryers included?
Yes—specialist washroom fit-out items shown on WC interior plans are measured completely.
