A PLANNED SPECIALIST PACKAGE
REVIEW THE SCOPE.
DELIVER THE FINISH.
One clearly scoped specialist package helps main contractors coordinate the tiling works. TileSPEC reviews the drawings, finish schedules, procurement needs and site programme before pricing.
We price appropriate projects from the drawings, specification, substrate information and programme. Any work outside the agreed tiling package is identified before commitment.
WHAT WE CONSIDER
TECHNICAL SCOPE
AND DELIVERY.
Procurement and site logistics
Consider lead times, deliveries, storage, access and programme dependencies.
Supervision and completion
Coordinate installation, progress reporting, inspections and planned handover works.
BEYOND THE TILE RATE
WHAT THE PROJECT
NEEDS TO ALLOW FOR.
A supply-and-install tiling package can reduce interface gaps for the main contractor, provided the scope is written clearly. Tile procurement, substrate readiness, installation, design clarifications and handover responsibilities need to be identified before the programme depends on them.
Tender review and pricing assumptions
Review drawings, specification, quantities, areas, access, phasing and tender clarifications. Record inclusions, provisional items and exclusions against the current document revisions.
Procurement and logistics
Identify tile selections, quantities, lead times, delivery restrictions, storage, waste routes and the party responsible for breakages and replacements.
Preparation and installation
Agree whether uplift, repairs, levelling, boarding, membranes, waterproofing and protection form part of the package. Sequence work by area with measurable handovers.
Site reporting and completion
Define progress reporting, variations approval, inspection records, snagging, protection and final sign-off requirements.
FOR ESTIMATORS & CONTRACTS MANAGERS
WHAT TO SEND
WITH YOUR TENDER.
The more complete the information, the fewer unresolved assumptions in the proposed tiling scope. Drawings and documents can be included through our secure enquiry form.
- Tender return date, project address and principal contractor contact
- Drawings, specifications, finish schedules and pricing or bill-of-quantities documents
- Responsibility matrix for tiles, preparation, waterproofing and associated trades
- Programme milestones, access arrangements, productivity and phasing assumptions
- Proposed payment terms, retention provisions and variation approval process
Scope boundaries and variations
A single specialist package is not an unlimited all-risks allowance. Design responsibility, unknown substrates, programme acceleration, standby, rework caused by other trades and late specification changes require explicit agreement.
COMMON TENDER QUESTIONS
THE PRACTICAL
DETAILS.
Do you provide tiles as well as labour?
We can consider a joined-up procurement, preparation and installation package where the selections and commercial terms are agreed.
Can you work to a main contractor programme?
Yes, subject to a workable sequence, suitable handover of areas, material availability and agreed site resources.
How should variations be managed?
Changed drawings, unknown conditions and additional works should be raised and approved through the project's agreed variation procedure before proceeding.
