Quantity surveyor insights

Waste and buildability: PVC-U door sets are generally made to surveyed dimensions, so the principal risk is not cutting waste but incorrect sizing and remanufacture; allow 2–4% for damage, aborted visits and survey-related replacements on larger programmes.
Scope and procurement: Confirm responsibility for final surveys, structural openings, cills, thresholds, perimeter sealing, decorations, access control and builders’ work before order placement. Bespoke colours, glazing and hardware can materially extend lead times and make late design changes costly.
