CONTRACTOR ESTIMATING SUPPORT

Freelance fit-out estimator and preconstruction support.

Flexible estimating capacity for office fit-out and refurbishment contractors across the UK, EMEA and Africa—from early client opportunities and high-level budgets through detailed tenders and final commercial review.

FREELANCE & OUTSOURCED SUPPORT

Extra capacity without permanent overhead.

Appoint us for one defined element, a live tender or consistent support through the complete preconstruction process. We work within your pricing structure and maintain complete commercial confidentiality.

01 · EARLY OPPORTUNITY

High-level budgets from limited information

Initial budgets from a test fit, GA plan, area schedule, photographs, outline brief or partial specification, with assumptions and information gaps clearly identified.

02 · DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Progressive budgeting

Cost plans updated as layouts, specifications and services information develop, showing what changed, why the cost moved and where pressure is emerging.

03 · TENDER

Estimating, take-offs and trade enquiries

Measured tender submissions, marked-up drawings, scope packages, subcontractor enquiries, quotation schedules and bid levelling.

04 · COMMERCIAL REVIEW

Risk, value engineering and submission

Review of coverage, assumptions, qualifications, exclusions, risk, preliminaries and value-engineering opportunities before submission.

DELIVERABLES

Commercially usable information.

The scope is adapted to your project and can be issued in your company’s own estimating or tender format.

  • High-level office fit-out budgets
  • Progressive cost plans
  • Detailed measurement and take-offs
  • Subcontractor and supplier enquiries
  • Trade scopes and enquiry packages
  • Bid levelling and quotation analysis
  • Risk registers and information schedules
  • Preliminaries and project-cost reviews

Only have a plan, test fit or short brief?

That may be enough to establish a useful first cost position. The budget can be progressively developed as information improves and converted into a detailed tender estimate.
