Estimating capacity for housebuilders and contractors.
A specialist estimating and takeoff service built for development programmes — multiple plots, multiple packages, one consistent methodology from enquiry through to issue.
Estimating under volume is a different problem than estimating one job at a time.
When tender dates are fixed and the work arrives in parallel, the estimating function becomes a bottleneck. Three pressures show up on every development programme.
Volume & deadlines
Multiple plots and packages competing for the same estimating time, against fixed tender dates that do not move.
Consistency across sites
Pricing and methodology that should match from one development to the next often doesn't, once more than one estimator is involved.
Margin under scrutiny
Procurement teams expect a clear, defensible basis for every figure submitted — not just a number at the bottom of a page.
Four services. One estimating standard.
Each service is structured from your drawings and brief, and returned in a consistent, procurement-ready format across every plot and package.
Estimating & takeoff
Material quantities and labour takeoff from your drawings, compiled to current market rates and returned to your programme.
Compliance documentation
Health & safety packs, method statements, COSHH assessments and risk registers, built from your project brief.
Site reporting
Daily, weekly and stage-completion reports compiled from site updates — issued in a consistent format across every plot.
Programme & scheduling
Sequenced programmes of works, trade by trade and package by package, ready to issue to clients and site teams.
NRM2-aligned cost structure with a documented basis of measurement.
Issued as a branded, line-item PDF — customisable to your house style.
A named estimating lead throughout — the same contact, every package.
A three-stage process, the same for every estimate.
Scope & brief
Share drawings and the project brief — the kind you'd hand to a colleague joining the job.
Estimate production
Quantities, labour and current market rates are compiled to a consistent methodology across every package.
Issue & review
A branded, line-item PDF is issued to your programme, with the basis of measurement documented for review.
The same basis, every time.
