What we do

Seven trades, one contract

In-house estimating

Send drawings. Get a fixed-price bill of quantities.

Our estimators work in this office, not for a subcontractor. They measure from your drawings, price the work item by item and return a fixed bill of quantities you can put straight into a tender. If something on the drawing does not stack up, you hear about it before you price the job, not after you win it.

  1. 01

    Drawings in

    You send the set. We confirm the same working day that we have everything we need to price.

  2. 02

    Measured take-off

    Quantities measured off the drawing: excavation, concrete, reinforcement, drainage runs, chambers, surfacing.

  3. 03

    Fixed-price bill of quantities

    Priced item by item with rates you can interrogate, plus anything we think is missing from the drawing.
