Property developer reviewing architectural drawings and building plans

For Developers

Know what it costs before you commit.

Appraise more sites, test more schemes, and carry real cost certainty from feasibility through to tender, without building an in-house cost team.

In short

Construction Estimates provides estimating and cost planning for property developers who need reliable build costs to appraise sites and control budgets.

We produce feasibility budgets, cost multiple scheme options, and refine the numbers as your design develops, giving you cost certainty at every stage, branded as your own, on a pay-per-project basis with no fixed overhead.

A deal lives or dies on the build cost.

Get the build cost wrong at appraisal and the whole deal is wrong. Too optimistic and you overpay for the site and watch the margin evaporate on site. Too cautious and you walk away from a scheme that would have stacked up nicely for a competitor who ran sharper numbers.

The trouble is, reliable costs take time and skill to produce, and you need them fast, often across several sites and several scheme options at once, long before there's a full design to price. Carrying an in-house cost team to do that is a fixed overhead that only makes sense at real scale.

We give you that estimating capability on demand. Proper costs when you need them, for as many schemes as you're weighing up, without the permanent headcount.

Built for the way developers work

From back-of-envelope feasibility to a firm pre-tender number.

Feasibility you can trust

Realistic budget costs early enough to appraise a deal properly, so you know what you can pay for a site before you commit to it.

Multiple schemes, costed

Test density, layout and spec options side by side. We cost each one so you can see which scheme genuinely stacks up.

Cost certainty as you go

We refine the budget as the design develops, from feasibility to pre-tender, keeping the project on budget and surprise-free.

Win and appraise more sites

Run the numbers on more opportunities, faster, so you can move decisively on the deals that work and drop the ones that don't.
