Trade-specific estimating can help teams break a wider project into measurable and reviewable cost packages.
Quantities, BOQs, trade estimates and cost documentation should be prepared from the supplied drawings, specifications, tender information and agreed scope. Project-specific pricing assumptions, supplier quotations, allowances and exclusions should be identified clearly where they form part of the estimate.

How Does Our Construction Estimating Workflow Support Manchester Projects?
The estimating workflow moves from document review and scope definition to quantity measurement, trade organisation, BOQ and cost report preparation, scope notes and final review before delivery.
Review the Tender Information Before Measurement Begins
The available project documents can be reviewed to understand the trades, measurement requirements, revision status, scope boundaries and required output format.
Move From Tender Documents to Structured Cost Information
The estimating sequence can be adapted to the project scope, trade packages, available documents and required commercial output.
Review Drawings and Documents
Review drawings, specifications, scope notes, tender requirements, addenda and revision information.
Identify Trades and Measurement Requirements
Determine which trade packages, measurement categories and quantity outputs are required.
Complete Quantity Takeoff
Measure quantities from the supplied project information for the agreed construction scope.
Structure Quantities by Trade
Organise measured quantities into relevant trades, work sections or cost packages for review.
Prepare BOQ and Cost Documentation
Prepare BOQs, cost reports, trade summaries and other agreed estimating outputs.
Add Scope Notes and Complete Final Review
Document assumptions, exclusions and scope notes, then review the estimating package before delivery.
Check the Information That Drives the Estimate
Document review helps identify the information needed for measurement, BOQ preparation and estimating output.
Review Quantities and Scope Before Delivery
Final review can focus on the agreed scope, measurement coverage, trade organisation, assumptions and the completeness of the estimating output.
Update Estimates When Tender Information Changes
When revised drawings, addenda, scope notes or other tender information are supplied, the affected quantities and estimating documentation can be reviewed again.
Where drawings, specifications, tender documents or scope notes contain missing or conflicting information, the affected item should be identified and recorded as an assumption, exclusion or clarification point before the estimate is treated as final.

Send your drawings, specifications, scope notes, tender requirements, addenda and required estimating output for review.
