Everything we measure, trade by trade.

Take the whole job as a bill of quantities, or a single trade package on its own. Everything below is measured off your drawings and comes back as a schedule your rates drop straight into.

Trades

By trade

Order them together, or one at a time.

Structural steel and metalwork: a steel portal frame under construction with hollow sections stacked in front.

Structural steel and metalwork

Tonnage member by member off the marking plans, plus purlins, connections, bolts, weld lengths, surface treatment, stairs and handrails.

Concrete and reinforcement: reinforcing steel being fixed on a slab with a concrete placing boom overhead.

Concrete and reinforcement

Footings, slabs and suspended structures by volume, with formwork areas and reinforcement tonnage priced separately so each can carry its own rate.

Masonry and blockwork: a concrete block wall part built, with a trowel resting on the course.

Masonry and blockwork

Wall areas by block and brick type, net of openings, with lintels, piers, core fill, reinforcement and control joints counted rather than allowed for.

Carpentry and framing: timber wall and roof framing with dressed timber and a tape measure in front.

Carpentry and framing

Wall, floor and roof framing in lineal metres by member size, with trusses, bracing, tie-downs, fascia and eaves lining.

Roofing and cladding: a standing seam metal roof with gutter and downpipe.

Roofing and cladding

Sheet lengths as they will be ordered rather than plan areas, with every flashing run, gutter, downpipe and penetration measured.

Windows, doors and joinery: a run of aluminium framed sliding doors opening onto a living room.

Windows, doors and joinery

Straight off the schedules and cross-checked against the plans. Frames, hardware, cabinetry, benchtops and built-in joinery.

Internal finishes: a finished interior with timber flooring, painted ceilings and a tiled bathroom.

Internal finishes

Linings, ceilings, tiling, floor coverings and wet area membranes by area, with painting split into preparation and coats rather than a single lump sum.

Packages

By deliverable

What the measured quantities get turned into, depending on where you are in the job.

Tender packages

A complete bill of quantities for the job, priced against your own rates and formatted ready to submit before the close date.

Variations

Tender drawings compared line by line against the IFC set, with additions and omissions listed separately so the claim stands up to scrutiny.

Progress claims

Quantities measured against what has actually been built, reconciled against the original schedule and formatted for your contract administrator.
