Material and Finish Schedules for Architects
Finish selection runs alongside the drawings. Every room carries the flooring, paint, sanitaryware and fittings chosen, with the make and shade written where the site can read them.
What a schedule line holds
How the schedule is used
The project architect builds the schedule while detailing, so the sheets and the schedule carry the same specification and nobody writes a second version on a loose sheet. The quantity list for tender is taken off these lines. The contractor works from the schedule printed with the construction set. A changed selection raises a revision. Site asks fewer questions.
Where it connects
What the client decides
- Which rooms and elements the schedule covers
- Whether vendor rates are held here or kept out of it
- Who may change a selection the client has approved
- Whether the client reads the schedule or only the drawings
Frequently asked questions
Does it hold vendor rates?
It can, where you want them. Whether rates sit in the schedule or stay out of it is decided with the partners.
Can two finish options be kept for one room?
Yes. Options sit side by side until the client picks one, and the choice is dated.
Is a printed schedule produced for site?
Yes. The schedule prints room by room and goes out with the construction set.
Does it order material from vendors?
No. Purchase is done by the client or the contractor, and the schedule only says what was specified.
