    Hi there lads, leaning towards a direct labour build over contractor, but still not decided.

    looking for some advice on pricing, basically how much would it cost roughly for a QS to spec up material costs for a new build?

    When speccing out a new build and sending it out to tender what kind of information do you need, i.e. it will have LED down lighters, it will use this wood burner and this kitchen..... kinda confused on this lads.



    Lads if anyone has any previous tender letters or details attached would greatly appreciate it along with any QS recommendations, thanks.

    Hi,
    If I was to measure this up, price and compile a materials list, I would probably charge around the €280-300 mark. That would include a priced bill with a breakdown of costs and a materials list.
    When sending a new build out to tender you will need a detailed set of drawings, with a spec and/or a bill. PC sums can be inserted for 2nd fix electric, fireplaces and kitchens which can be agreed as the project progresses.

    Any QS I've ever worked with always costed from our drawings as architects. The more detailed the drawing package, the more accurate the costing is. Do you already have a design for this project and/or construction documentation?
