Know what your building project could cost before you commit
Before you start approaching builders, it helps to know whether the project you are planning is within your budget.
We can prepare an estimate from your drawings, giving you a clear idea of what the work is likely to cost before you commit to taking the project any further.
Know how your builder’s quote compares
Once you decide to go ahead, an independent estimate gives you a useful benchmark against which to compare the quotations you receive from builders.
Prices can vary considerably, even when builders are working from the same drawings. Having your own detailed estimate makes it much easier to see whether a quotation looks reasonable, where the differences are, and what may or may not have been included.
What you’ll receive from us
You receive the same detailed estimating reports we prepare for our builder clients — not a simplified homeowner version.
Your estimate breaks the project down into its individual elements, showing the expected costs of labour, materials, plant and specialist trades, together with notes explaining important assumptions and anything that may not be clearly shown on the drawings.
The result is a clear, practical cost breakdown that you can understand and refer back to throughout the quotation process.
