Drawings, specs and addenda
Send the documents and areas you want checked. A complete tender package is useful, but not essential for a focused review.
For SEQ subcontractors
Check scope and quantities before the quote goes out.
A practical support pack for wall and ceiling contractors, plasterers, partition and ceiling crews, and commercial subcontractors reviewing one real job.
Start with one job already quoted or being priced. Rates, margins, mark-ups and supplier pricing are not needed for the benchmark pack.
One job at a time
What you send.
Scope notes if available
Include inclusions, exclusions or your own quote notes only if you are comfortable sharing them.
What needs a second look
Tell me the job type, decision deadline and any areas that feel unclear or high risk.
What comes back.
A structured support pack that highlights the parts of the job worth reviewing before the contractor makes the final pricing decision.
Quantity checks
High-level take-off checks, difference flags and confidence tags for the areas reviewed.
Assumptions and scope traps
Drawing or document references, assumptions, exclusions and items worth qualifying are made visible.
RFI prompts
Practical questions to ask when a scope, detail, interface or document issue is unclear.
Free benchmark
A small, useful test.
One real job, one clear pack and an honest conversation about whether it was useful.
Choose one job
Pick a job already quoted, being quoted now or close enough that a review will be useful.
Review the pack
You receive the marked-up review points, quantity checks, assumptions and RFI prompts.
Agree the next step
If the format helps, any paid follow-on pack is discussed and agreed before work begins.
Pilot pricing
Simple, scoped per pack.
Working hypothesis$249-$399 per pack
The likely fee depends on the size of the file set and turnaround required. Final scope and fee are agreed before any paid work starts. This is not pricing, margin or tender strategy advice.
What this is not
Review support, not a replacement for your tender process.
No rates, margins, mark-ups, labour rates or supplier pricing.
No final price, tender strategy or commercial decision-making.
No legal, contract or entitlement advice.
No certified quantity surveying, engineering, design or compliance sign-off.
No promised accuracy, savings or tender outcome.
Questions people ask.
The benchmark is deliberately practical. The contractor keeps control of commercial decisions.
Do you need my rates?
No. The benchmark is about scope, quantities, assumptions and review points. Keep rates and margins out of it.
Can you price the whole job?
No. The support pack helps you review scope and quantities. The final price stays with you.
Is this quantity surveying?
No. It is contractor review support, not certified quantity surveying or a certification of quantities.
