Estimating Consultants
Before the vast majority of orders are secured an estimate is usually produced based upon a set of drawings, specification, bills of quantity or site visit. The procedure of taking off quantities, obtaining material prices, forming the quotation is an exact, time consuming, and meticulous process which, when carried out correctly forms a solid base from which the construction process can commence. The quotation forms an agreement between the client and contractor and should reflect the requirements laid out by the Architect, but will often combine value engineered items in order to achieve the clients budget - options which we can provide in full consultation with yourselves.
Our estimating service is carried out utilising a bespoke spreadsheet based system and completed with a clear and precise presentation listing quantities, suppliers names, even colours. Each spreadsheet can be tailored to provide an output suitable for budget analysis during the construction phase breaking down individual elements such “fixings”, “rooflights”, “composite panels”, etc providing a financial plan for the project ahead.
