How we work with you
1. Upload Your Drawings. Securely send us your existing and proposed plans (floor plans, elevations, sections) and any supporting information like site photos or structural drawings.
2. Confirm Scope and Payment. Once we’ve received your files, we’ll send you a short Fact Finder form to capture project details such as:​
-
Desired specification level (standard / mid / high)
-
Heating, electrical, kitchen and bathroom expectations
-
Site constraints, planning restrictions, or access challenges
This ensures our pricing reflects your actual intentions rather than general assumptions.
We will then confirm the fixed price for our cost proposal and charge payment before commencing the detailed quantity surveying work.
3. We Prepare Your Cost Proposal. Our team - combining 15+ years of on-site build experience with 20–30 years of Quantity Surveying expertise - analyses your files using live UK market rates. We remain completely independent to ensure our figures are neutral and accurate.
4. Receive & Review Your Report. You will receive a detailed PDF report, followed by a 1-hour Teams review with one of our estimators. We will walk you through every line, clarify assumptions, and highlight opportunities to save or reallocate your budget.
5. Use Your Report with Confidence. Your PreBuild Cost proposal is designed to be a decision-making tool, helping you move forward with clarity and control.
You can use your report to:​
-
Validate your budget before committing to final designs
