A structured approach to quantities, allowances and traceable tender assumptions.
Start with a controlled drawing register and revision status. Divide quantities into primary members, connections, attachments and allowances. Keep model-derived quantities separate from estimates, record exclusions explicitly and reconcile changes before pricing. Treat these steps as a practical workflow rather than a substitute for project specifications.
