Estimating

Once you’ve had a set of plans approved for your home extension or improvement, it’s important to get an accurate build cost for your works.  Working with our nominated builders we can provide you with an accurate estimate for your work that is detailed sufficiently so that you know exactly what you get for your money.

Step 1 – Plans

We will require a set of plans to take off measurements of your proposed work.  If you don’t have any of these available feel free to ask us for a free consultation to give you a rough budget estimate of what you require.  We have much experience of many building projects and will have an idea of what your build cost might be.

 Step 2 – Estimate

We will prepare a detailed estimate that is itemised from the foundations to the roof in specific detail.  This will give you the knowledge of what is included within your planned work so that you can request additional items or changes to the specification with ultimate transparency and the comfort of knowing exactly what is included within the build price.

Step 3 – Finance

Should you require external lending to finance your project plan, you can use our detailed estimates to provide to lenders for their approval and reassurance that you have assessed the build correctly and the associated financial risks throughout the project.

Step 3 – Project Management

Using our initial project estimate, we will provide you with cashflow forecasts, payment plans and valuations throughout the delivery of your project to ensure your budget is managed effectively, costs are clearly defined and any staged invoices are correctly certified for payment.
