An estimating service for residential builders pricing extensions and refurbs

Residential work, extensions, refurbishments, loft conversions, gets treated by some estimating services as an afterthought behind commercial contracts. It shouldn't be, because the margins are just as tight and the client relationship matters just as much.

Domestic jobs still need a full measured breakdown

An extension has groundworks, structure, finishes and services just like a bigger job, only compressed into a smaller footprint. Measuring it properly to NRM2 means nothing gets missed just because the job is domestic in scale.

The client wants to see where the money goes

Clients commissioning residential work often ask more questions about the breakdown than a commercial client would. An itemised estimate answers those questions before they're asked, rather than leaving you defending a single total.

Priced on rates that fit residential specification

Fixtures, finishes and small quantities matter more proportionally on a residential job. Pricing them on real, current rates rather than a commercial-scale rate book keeps the estimate honest to what the job actually needs.

Send your drawings for the extension or refurb and we'll price it properly. See a sample estimate to see the kind of breakdown you'd hand over.
