For Construction Companies
The estimator maths doesn't add up.
A full-time estimator is £100k all-in, fixed forever. We give you the same capability on tap, pay per project, scale with your pipeline, branded as your own.
In short
Construction Estimates gives construction companies professional estimating capacity without the fixed cost of an in-house estimator.
An in-house estimator costs £70,000 to £80,000 in salary, closer to £100,000 once you add NI, pension, holiday, sick pay, a car and software, and you carry that whether the tenders are there or not. We price your work per project instead, so your estimating cost flexes with your pipeline.

The salary is only the start. Here's what it actually costs to put one on the payroll.
