Frequently Asked Questions
We work from your established rate cards, price books, and estimating software, using your quantity-surveying and bills-of-quantities conventions, so figures come back consistent with how your team already prices work.
Quantities and cost information are checked against your rate structures and standard specifications before they go to purchasing or scheduling, so pricing stays consistent with how your business costs a job, not a generic estimate.
Turnaround depends on the scope and complexity of the work. We agree a timeline as part of scoping, once we understand what’s involved, so you know what to expect before anything starts.
