What is a construction estimate?

A construction estimate sets out what your project is likely to cost: the quantities of materials, the labour and plant to install them, and the prices behind each. It gives you a reliable figure to budget, tender or price your work against.

What drawings do I need to provide?

Plans, sections and elevations are usually enough to start. Structural drawings and a specification let us price in more detail, and if anything is missing we will tell you before we begin.

Can you estimate costs from PDF drawings?

Yes. We work from PDF, DWG and DXF drawings, which you can upload through the quote form at up to 50MB per file.

How accurate are your estimates?

Every estimate is measured from your drawings and checked before it is sent. Its accuracy depends on how complete the drawings are, so we list our assumptions and exclusions and you can see exactly what is and is not included.

How long does it take to receive an estimate?

Most estimates are delivered within 24–48 hours of receiving your drawings. Larger or more complex projects can take longer, and we will confirm the timescale when we quote.

Do you work with builders and contractors?

Yes. We work with main contractors and builders, architects and interior designers, property developers and homeowners, preparing cost estimates, take-offs and bills of quantities for tenders and budgets.

Can I request a quote before sending my drawings?

Yes. Tell us about your project through the quote form and we will come back to you with a price and timescale. You can send your drawings once you are ready to go ahead.

How do I get started?

Upload your drawings through Get a Quote, or tell us about your project. We will review it, confirm the price and turnaround, and start once you are happy.
