My Project Estimating · Bill of Quantities
You send drawings off to get a job priced and you don't know what's coming back, a single total in an email, a spreadsheet you'll have to reformat before a client ever sees it, or something you can hand over as it is. Here's exactly what lands in your inbox when you work with us.
Every job comes back with a proper cover page up front, the project named, dated, set out like a document rather than a spreadsheet export. It's the first thing the client sees, and it looks like it came from someone who does this for a living.
Behind that sits a summary, the whole job reduced to its main figures, so anyone glancing at it, the client, your own site manager, gets the total picture in seconds without wading through every line.
Then the breakdown itself, every element of the job, each with its own quantity and its own price, measured to NRM2 so it reads in a consistent, recognised order rather than a random list. Prelims, provisional sums and anything not fully fixed yet are shown as their own lines, not buried in the total.
Where the job needs it, you also get a proper bill of quantities behind the breakdown, the same information set out so it can go straight into a tender pack or be handed to another trade to price against, no rebuilding required.
All of it comes as one set, cover page, summary, breakdown, bill of quantities, built to look like it came from a firm with 25+ years contractor-side behind it, because it did. You don't need to tidy it up before it reaches a client, format it, or add your own numbers to the front. You just send it as it stands.
The same set works whether the job's going out to a client for approval or into a tender pack alongside two or three other contractors. Either way, it's the document that makes you look like the outfit that had it together before you even opened your mouth.
Send your drawings and we'll turn them into a client-ready estimate. See a sample estimate to see exactly what you'd be handing over.
