FOR HOMEOWNERS

“What could my renovation or extension really cost?”

A drawing is the start. An estimate helps you understand the work, quantities and likely costs before you choose a builder or commit your budget.

  • Understand the cost of your planned work.
  • Give builders a clearer scope to price.
  • Discuss changes before construction starts.

The problems we help solve

Small gaps in the estimate.
Big questions on site.

Builder quotes that don’t compare.

Different totals can hide different assumptions, allowances and exclusions.

Our approachA defined BOQ gives each builder the same scope to price, making differences easier to question.

Missed items that squeeze the budget.

Rushed measurements can leave work unpriced or materials overlooked.

Our approachDrawing-based take-offs and a review of the agreed scope help identify quantities and flag uncertainties.

Another tender. Not enough time.

Site work and supplier calls leave little room for detailed measuring.

Our approachWe handle the estimating work you appoint us to do, with a fee and timetable confirmed before starting.

Read all estimating FAQs
How much does an estimating service cost?
Our fee depends on project size, drawing detail, trades and the output you need. Send your information for a tailored quotation before work begins.
Do I need a complete set of drawings?
Complete, legible drawings produce a more detailed take-off. If your plans are preliminary, tell us what is available so we can assess the scope and explain any assumptions or limitations.
How quickly can you deliver?
We confirm delivery in your quotation after reviewing the documents and scope. Mention your tender or project deadline when enquiring so we can assess availability.
Can you help me compare builders’ prices?
We can prepare a BOQ that gives builders a common scope to price. Ask each builder to identify exclusions and allowances so you can compare what their quotation includes.
