QS-grade cost certainty for developers
Cost plans and measured budgets that show whether a scheme works before you spend serious money.
In short
Developers carry the cost risk on a scheme, so a wrong build budget can wipe out the return.
Construction Estimates gives developers cost plans, measured budgets and tender pricing to RICS NRM, so appraisals are built on real numbers.
We work per project, which means you can test several sites and only pay for the work you commission, with no QS on the payroll between deals.
Who it's for
Property developers who need reliable build costs to appraise sites and protect their margin.
For a developer, the build cost is the number that decides whether a deal makes money. Put it into an appraisal too low and the profit you modelled disappears once the job is real. Put it too high and you walk away from a site that would have worked. Getting it right early is the whole game.
We give you cost plans you can rely on at the point of decision. From a sketch scheme or planning drawings, we produce an elemental cost plan that tells you what the build is likely to cost before you spend money on detailed design or commit to a purchase.
As a scheme progresses, the same numbers tighten up into measured budgets and full tender pricing. That gives you a clear basis to challenge contractor quotes, spot where you are being overpriced, and keep control of the figure all the way to site.
Pay-per-project suits how developers operate. You might appraise ten sites to buy one, and you should not be carrying a £100,000 QS salary to do it. You commission the cost work you need, when you need it, and pay nothing on the schemes that never happen.

How it works
Share the scheme
Send sketch plans, planning drawings or a finished design. Tell us where the project sits and the decision you are facing.
We build the cost picture
We produce a cost plan or measured budget to RICS NRM, sized to the stage, so your appraisal rests on solid figures.
You decide with confidence
Use the numbers to appraise the site, secure funding or challenge quotes, and come back for the next stage when you are ready.
