Comparison of Tender and Construction Drawings
Recently a major contractor engaged our services to compare tender and construction drawings for the concrete structure, and plasterboard trades on a major healthcare project. Engaging My Estimator on this task gave the client a transparent comparison of the changes to allow them to better manage the project.
The 60 different wall types certainly made the measure more difficult; however the team rose to the challenge, and undertook a full measure of all items. The structural measure only measured the differences between the two sets of drawings.
Many subcontractors price builder provided quantities at tender time, and are then required to compare this to a contract set of drawings. Do subcontractors actually check the differences, and if so how are they doing it? Is this a service that we could assist you with?
