Early cost plan to tender report

We take off your hands: drafting the NRM1 cost plan from early drawings, running the tender and bidders' queries, and writing up the returns.

You get: a draft cost plan with movements explained, tender documents ready to issue, a draft tender report for your QS and returned prices added to your cost data.

The problem

Our past cost data is locked in old spreadsheets we can't search.

How the steps join up

It starts when: a client appoints you for cost advice at an early design stage.

  1. Draft an elemental cost plan to NRM1 from early drawings, brief and benchmarks

    Your team checks and decides at this step.

  2. Estimate embodied and whole life carbon from the cost plan or bill

  3. Explain cost plan movements between design stages

  4. Assemble the employer's tender documents for a main contract

  5. Log bidders' tender queries and draft answers to issue equally to all bidders

  6. Analyse returned main contractor tenders and draft the tender report

    Your team checks and decides at this step.

  7. Turn returned tender prices into a benchmark cost database

What you end up with: Cost plans are drafted from benchmarks and movements explained, tender documents are assembled, queries handled fairly, returns analysed in a tender report and prices fed back into the benchmark database.

Who signs it off: Your QS owns the cost plan and the tender recommendation.
