Service
Estimation & Bill of Quantities
Realistic cost estimates and itemised bills of quantities, so that design decisions and budget stay in the same conversation.
What this service is
Budget trouble usually starts when design and cost are handled separately. We prepare estimates and project budgets alongside the design, so you can see what a decision is likely to cost while you can still change it.
A Bill of Quantities itemises the work and materials in a project, so that contractors price the same scope and you can compare their quotes on equal terms. It is also a useful reference for tracking the project once work begins.
What is included
- Preliminary cost estimates at concept stage
- Project budgets for proposed work
- Itemised Bill of Quantities (BoQ)
- Quantities taken from project drawings
- Budget review as the design develops
Estimates are planning figures based on the available design information. Final costs depend on contractor quotes, market rates and site conditions.
How it helps you
- A budget you can plan around
- See the likely scale of cost before committing to a direction.
- Comparable contractor quotes
- Everyone is pricing the same itemised list, which makes offers easier to compare.
- Informed trade-offs
- You can see where to spend and where to save with the numbers in front of you.
