From-Plan Estimating
Budget pricing for your cost plan — before anyone's been to site.
A number for the cost plan, at the stage you need it
You don't always have final dimensions or a confirmed fabric spec at the point you need a number in the cost plan. That's the stage this service is designed for.
Send us whatever you have — a set of GAs, a room data sheet, a tender schedule with outline descriptions, even a marked-up floor plan — and we'll return budget rates in £ per linear metre of track, banded by drop, that you can plug straight into a cost plan or BoQ line.
How it works
Send your schedule
Whatever format it's in: PDF, spreadsheet, marked-up drawing, email description. Sizes and fabric spec if you have them; sector and approximate quantity if you don't.
We scope and price
We identify appropriate fabric bands for the sector and spec level, apply the correct rate card, and build a line-item budget with all assumptions stated.
Budget pricing returned
Typically within one working day, in £ per linear metre of track by drop band — a format that drops straight into standard cost-plan templates. £/m² available as a secondary unit.
Refine as design develops
As the fabric specification firms up and final dimensions arrive, we convert the budget into a firm, itemised quotation — usually within 48 hours.
What you need to know
Who this is for
Quantity surveyors, PM-QS, cost consultants and procurement leads who need a defensible number for the soft furnishings line before the scheme is fully designed. Also useful for contractors pricing a design-and-build tender where the FF&E schedule is outline only.
The pricing format
£ per linear metre of track, banded by drop — the unit QSs actually work in. Assumptions are always stated, so the number stands up to scrutiny when the design develops.
Turnaround
Budget pricing typically within one working day of receiving your schedule. Firm quotations within 48 hours once dimensions and fabric selections are confirmed.
