Do your estimates adapt between England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland?
Yes. Schedules incorporate devolved building frameworks such as England Part L/O and BSA Gateways, Scottish Building Warrant sarking boards, and mandatory Welsh SuDS SAB drainage.
What files do I receive when a takeoff or estimate is completed?
You receive an open-formula Microsoft Excel workbook (trade summary, line-by-line quantities, waste factors, and notes tabs), colour-coded PDF drawing mark-ups verifying measured zones, and a written RFI / clarification sheet flagging any drawing discrepancies or missing details.
Can I commission a single specialist trade rather than a whole-project estimate?
Yes. Many subcontractors come to us exclusively for single-trade takeoffs—such as drylining, roofing, brickwork, structural steelwork, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, groundworks, or concrete rebar—while main contractors often commission multi-trade tender packages.
Do you cover residential extensions as well as commercial and industrial schemes?
Yes. Our estimating team measures across domestic extensions, loft conversions, and multi-unit housing right through to commercial Cat A/B office fit-outs, hospitality refurbishments, and steel-framed industrial warehouses across the UK.
