WHAT COMES BACK

Not just a number. The workings behind it.

Every estimate is issued in your name, in the same structure, whoever on our side measured it. If someone queries a line in six months, the answer is already on the page.

  1. 01 Quantities measured trade by trade, with the working shown on each line
  2. 02 Materials and labour priced separately, never blended
  3. 03 PC and provisional sums declared, with what would firm them up
  4. 04 Schedule of works, sequenced package by package
  5. 05 Measurement provenance: which sheet, which markup, which dimension

CAPABILITY

Four services. One estimating standard.

S.01

Take-offs & estimates

Material quantities and labour from your drawings, priced at your rates or national averages, returned to your programme.

S.02

Bills of quantities

NRM2-aligned bills so every subcontractor prices the same scope, with assumptions and exclusions in writing.

S.03

Programmes of works

Sequenced trade by trade and package by package, ready to issue to clients and site teams.

S.04

Merchant estimating

For builders merchants: we measure, you price at trade rates and supply. We never approach your customer.

HOW IT WORKS

Four steps. No surprises.

1

Send the drawings

The set and the brief, as you'd hand them to someone joining the job.

2

Fixed fee and a date

We read the set first and come back with a cost and a timeframe. Nothing is measured until you agree.

3

We measure and price

Queries raised in writing as we go. A second QS checks it before it leaves us.

4

Issue and review

A branded PDF and an Excel bill, in your name. Amendments handled without fuss.

Questions we get asked

How much does an estimate cost?

It depends on the job, so we quote a fixed fee per job. Send the drawings and we'll come back with the fee and a date before any measuring starts.

How quickly do I get it back?

Three to five working days for a typical housing package. Larger developments are agreed up front, and we'll tell you straight away if your tender date won't work.

Whose rates do you use?

Yours, if you give them to us. Otherwise national averages, with every assumed rate marked so you can see where to apply your own judgement.

Who actually does the work?

Qualified quantity surveyors and estimators, with a named lead on every engagement and a second check before issue.

Which job would you send us first?

Start with one package. No retainer, no hire, no software.
