About Us
We're on the builder's side.
We started Construction Estimates because pricing work shouldn't cost you your evenings, your margins, or a £100k salary you can't justify when it's quiet.
In short
Construction Estimates is a UK done-for-you estimating service for builders, contractors and developers. We measure and price your jobs as a service. There's no software to learn and no staff to put on the payroll.
We measure properly, to RICS NRM standards, and produce professional bills of quantities and estimates branded as your own. You stay in complete control of your rates and margins.
Estimating as a service, not another piece of software.
Every builder knows the trap. Win the work and you need to price it. Price it and you're losing evenings and weekends on jobs you might not even get. Hire someone to do it and you're carrying a £70,000 to £80,000 salary, closer to £100,000 once you add NI, pension, holiday, sick pay and a vehicle, fixed forever, whether the work is there or not.
We built Construction Estimates to be the third door. You send us the drawings, we price the job, and you only pay when you've actually got work to quote. No retainer, no licence, no overhead sitting on your books in a quiet month.
We're not a software company trying to turn you into an estimator. We're estimators. We do the measuring and the pricing the way a good QS would, and we hand you a finished document with your name on it. To your client, it came from your office, because as far as they're concerned, it did.
What we stand for
Plain-talking, properly measured, and always under your control.
We measure properly
We work to recognised standards, RICS NRM and proper bills of quantities, so your numbers stand up when a client or main contractor pushes back. No guesswork, no padding.
Branded as your own
Every document is white-labelled with your logo and details. We stay invisible. The credibility, and the client relationship, stays with you.
You stay in control
Your rates, your margins, your decisions. We price the work the way you would. You never hand over your pricing to a black box.
On the builder's side
No software to learn, no fixed overhead, no upselling. We win when you win more work and get your evenings back. Simple as that.
