Received an email from large building firm for me to tender for some works, however its one of them ones where im scratching my head at a few things on it. Whenever i price work, i get the plans, go through everything then pop out to site to have a look, and usually price when everything is in operation. If its stonework, its usually straight forward as in price in per sqm, through windows etc.. but when pricing stud walls/boarding/plastering, i like to go on site and have a look. Im really busy and cant get to site(if its even started yet) to have a look so just going to price this one of the plans and see how i get on. Quote has to be in for the end of the month.

Extra over for forming door ope

Note - Wall areas and perimeter lengths are measured through opes
Above in blue is where im scratching my head. Extra over for forming door ope- what is this they are wanting! Measure through opes. Im thinking opes means openings but what is it extra over for door opes? See above.
The tender doesnt mention if they are wanting materials included in the price. Have tendered work before for just labor but will ring during the week to confirm this.
Another issue ive noticed on the plans. Its saying ----Existing stairs; strip existing paint finish,
apply new white fire retardant coating that
will provide class 0 (envirograf es/vfr or
similar). Treads to be fitted with nora
norament 920 stairtread. Underside of steps
to be double slabbed with plasterboard with
joints staggered and taped & filled. Voids
between new plaster-board and existing to
be filled with compacted rockwool
Its saying underside of steps to be slabbed with plasterboard and voids to be filled with rockwool, however this wasnt on the tender spec above. I know a call during the week should confirm my querries thou wanted to talk it through on here first becuse itll be my first pricing withoutgoing on site.
All help will be greatly appreciated
