How to use the pack

DecisionWhat it means for your project
Measurement preparationGive each opening a reference, label the measurement basis and list photographs or drawing files.
Before orderingCheck the specification against the latest drawing and leave unresolved items visibly open.
Handover recordList each unit, operating checks, documents received and any snag with its next action.
Project budgetKeep confirmed prices, allowances and unknown costs separate; record the VAT basis.

A useful file-naming habit

Use a project name, date and revision in your working file names, for example Kitchen-extension-opening-schedule-2026-10-11-v1.csv. When a supplier issues a revised drawing, update the reference in the worksheet. Send the current version and make clear which older version it replaces. Avoid circulating several files all named final.

What to do with blank cells

A blank is a question to resolve, not a zero cost or an accepted default. Put unknown beside missing dimensions, unpriced handling or an undecided glass option, and add who will confirm it. Before ordering, review those outstanding items with the responsible person. For a formatted personalised PDF brief, use the project planner.
