Cost Estimator FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you turn around an estimate?
Typical turnaround is 24–72 hours for straightforward scopes. Complex or incomplete drawing packages can take longer.
What information do you need to price accurately?
Architectural drawings, specification notes, structural details, project location, quality level, and any known site constraints.
Is this suitable for tender submissions?
Yes. Our estimates are built for tender preparation, scope validation, and budget confidence before commitment.
What is included in the estimate?
Measured quantities, labour allowances, material rates, prelims, overhead and profit assumptions, plus exclusions and clarifications.
Can you price if some information is missing?
Yes, but we’ll need to state assumptions clearly. Missing information increases uncertainty and can widen cost ranges.
