Construction Quantities Prepared to Agreed Measurement Rules

We can organise detailed building-work quantities using RICS NRM2, or applicable CESMM conventions for civil engineering works, when requested by the client.

RICS NRM2 Detailed building work measurement.
CESMM Civil engineering measurement requirements.
Metric Quantities Metres, square metres, cubic metres and tonnes.
Client BOQ Structure Agreed work descriptions, item sections and units.
Quantity Takeoffs and Cost Estimating Are Separate Services

A material takeoff provides measurable quantities from construction drawings. Cost estimating adds labour, materials, plant, subcontract prices and rate build-ups. Optimar Precon can provide these services separately or together within an agreed assignment.

London Construction Takeoff Workflow

Our Process for Preparing Construction Quantity Takeoffs in London

London construction tenders often involve extensive drawing packages, multiple specialist trades and frequent design updates. We follow a defined measurement workflow to prepare, check and deliver quantities based on the agreed documents and scope.

Construction Drawing Assessment

Reviewing Drawings Before Measuring London Construction Work

Our team reviews the latest architectural, structural, civil and M&E drawings, together with specifications, schedules and tender instructions. We establish trade boundaries, measurement units and reporting requirements.

High-rise projects and commercial refurbishments may contain phased works, repeated floor layouts, complex services and restricted access. We use the supplied project information to determine which quantities fall within the measured scope.

We also identify missing details, conflicting drawings and unclear quantities, recording measurement assumptions or clarification requests where necessary.
