BUILDERS ESTIMATING

We provide a prompt, accurate and detailed estimating service to contractors and sub-contractors on projects ranging from £10,000 to £2m.

We can provide a service based on sketches, architects’ drawings or bills of quantities.

With the exception of basic budget costing, all work is measured either from drawings, bills of quantities or on site and is carried out utilising our own bespoke computerised estimating package and systems along with up to date rates from your regular suppliers and sub-contractors.

This allows us to provide “what the contractor needs” information such as trade breakdowns on projects, individual sub-contractors costs and, if required, separate labour and materials schedules.

We identify any areas of provisional costs and/or any exclusions and can take the estimating service to full quotation stage.

We carry out all our estimating works on a “fixed fee” basis.

That is why over 90% of the builders we have worked with in the last two years are returning and are regular clients.
We regularly check and update our materials supply library from many local trade suppliers, such as:
