Services
Take-Offs

Working from existing drawings produced by outside consultant engineers/architects, the JDP Technical Support team undertake take-offs and produce an accurate bill of quantities. Within this service we can offer solutions to problems and alternative options to the original design. With larger schemes the completed take-off may include a JDP manhole schedule that will assist in understanding what we have priced for each individual chamber. This can be advantageous when installing a system in stages and only certain items are required at any one time. The JDP Technical Support team are also willing to liaise with consultant engineers/architects to propose changes to a system that could benefit our client.
Value Engineering
JDP Technical Support are able to offer alternative solutions for a site based on an existing design where we may be able to suggest a more cost-effective solution to the one shown on the original design. This may include offereing alternative products or a slight redesign to the system that will enable the project to be completed more efficiently by the client.

Design
We are able to assist with certain design aspects of gravity drainage systems. This ranges from assisting with SuDS designs (soakaways/attenuation) to full system designs for small developments (less than 20 properties).
