FOR UK CONTRACTORS
Priced estimates from someone who's run the jobs, not just priced them.
25+ years contractor-side. We measure and price your tender the way you’d do it yourself if you had the time. Send your drawings today, get a fixed fee quote back the same day, full estimate delivered to your deadline.
Give us the bid date and your full priced estimate arrives before it, never holding up work.
Every element measured off your drawings to NRM2. A missed line dents your margin, we price it.
You see the fee up front before you commit, with no hourly billing and no surprises later.
BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO'VE RUN THE JOBS
Why builders send us their drawings
No two jobs price the same, so we don’t guess. We measure your job off the drawings and price it on real UK rates, whether you need a full construction estimate or a quantity takeoff for tender. Even without a QS in the office, you get numbers you can bid from and stand behind.
You know where every pound goes
Every item priced and laid out clear, with a full bill of quantities you can hand to the client. No hidden extras, no guesswork - you see exactly what's in the number before it goes in your bid.
Nothing left off, no nasty surprises
We measure the whole job from your drawings so nothing slips through. One missing line can eat your margin once you're on site, so we price it all. Planning ahead? Our cost planning keeps the budget straight from the start.
25+ years, contractor-side
This isn't a faceless estimating factory. Your job is measured by a team with 25+ years on UK sites, contractor-side, who know how a real job actually gets built.
What we price for you
Send us your drawings and we do the measuring and pricing, so you can bid on time without doing takeoffs at night. Whether it’s a full estimate, a takeoff, or a bill of quantities for tender, you get numbers you can stand behind. Built for contractors and subcontractors without a QS in the office.
No time to price the tender? We do it for you.
Send the drawings and we turn them into a full priced estimate on real UK rates. You get back to running your jobs while we do the measuring, and the estimate lands before your deadline, ready to bid from.
Know what the job costs before you price it.
We work out the cost of structure, finishes and services up front, so the budget is straight from the start. No nasty surprises halfway through, and no going back to the client cap in hand.
Exact quantities, so nothing gets missed.
We measure every trade and material off your drawings, in full. A missed line is a hole in your margin once you’re on site, so we count it all and you price with confidence.
A clean breakdown you can hand to the client.
We turn your drawings into a clear, itemised bill of quantities under NRM2. Easy to read, ready for tender, and it makes you look like the outfit that has it together.
