A detailed elemental cost plan, with all the build elements broken down into individual sections. This can also be used when carrying out a tender analysis to cross compare against contractor’s quotes.
Cost Planning for Architects
We can create a fully detailed schedule of works for you to send out to your contractors. The document will contain a summary of works with a grand total and a breakdown of each element of the works into sub-sections. The idea is that you have a pricing platform that your builders follow, so you can easily compare quotes on a like for like basis.
