Pre-Tender Cost Review
A focused review of the cost plan and draft bill of quantities before tender, so allowances, provisional sums, and rate assumptions are stress-tested while there is still time to adjust the documents.
Who it is for
Architects and owners preparing a tender package who want a second set of eyes on cost realism before contractors price the work.
What is included
- Reading of the cost plan against the current drawing issue
- Commentary on provisional sums and contingency logic
- Spot-checks of major quantity items and unit-rate bands
- Short written note of priority adjustments before issue
What is excluded
- Full remeasurement of the entire bill
- Writing the tender documents from scratch
- Contractor selection or bid scoring
How the work runs
-

Cost plan, draft BoQ, and key drawings arrive with your target tender date.
-
Focused stress test
We concentrate on high-value trades, thin allowances, and items that often overrun on comparable Taiwanese builds.
-
Adjustment note
You receive a concise note ranking issues by cost impact and urgency before the documents go out.
Why this sits before tender
Once prices are in, correcting thin provisional sums becomes a commercial argument. Catching weak allowances while the bill is still in draft keeps the conversation inside the design team — where it belongs.
