Construction Estimation FAQs - BRAND BOA

What types of construction projects do you provide estimation services for?
BRAND BOA provides comprehensive construction estimation services across all major project types throughout the UK. Our expertise spans residential developments, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and infrastructure projects. We specialise in quantity takeoffs and cost estimates for MEP systems (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing), interior and finishing work, masonry and external works, plus core construction services. Whether you're planning a single-storey extension or a multi-million pound development, our precision estimating ensures accurate budgeting from day one.
How accurate are BRAND BOA's construction cost estimates?
Our construction estimates typically achieve 95%+ accuracy rates, thanks to our systematic approach combining advanced software, current UK market rates, and decades of industry experience. We maintain an extensive database of material costs, labour rates, and regional price variations across the UK. Each estimate undergoes rigorous quality checks and includes detailed breakdowns by trade, allowing you to understand exactly where your budget is allocated. We also provide contingency recommendations based on project complexity and risk factors.
What information do you need from me to prepare an accurate construction estimate?
To deliver our signature precision estimating, we require architectural plans, specifications, and project scope details. Essential documents include floor plans, elevations, sections, and any available construction drawings. For MEP projects, we need mechanical, electrical, and plumbing schematics. We also consider project location, timeline requirements, quality specifications, and any special conditions. Don't worry if your plans aren't finalised – we can work with preliminary drawings and provide updated estimates as your project develops.
How long does it take to receive a detailed construction estimate from BRAND BOA?
Our standard turnaround for comprehensive construction estimates is 3-5 business days for most projects, with complex commercial developments potentially requiring 7-10 days. Rush estimates can be accommodated within 24-48 hours when needed. The timeline depends on project size, complexity, and the completeness of provided documentation. We always confirm delivery dates upfront and provide progress updates for larger estimates. Our efficient process ensures you receive detailed, accurate estimates without delays to your project planning.
Do you provide quantity Take-offs separately from cost estimates?
Yes, BRAND BOA offers standalone quantity takeoff services alongside our complete cost estimation packages. Our detailed quantity takeoffs include precise measurements for all materials, from concrete and steel to finishes and fixtures. We can deliver takeoffs in various formats including Excel spreadsheets, CSV files, or integrated with popular estimating software. This service is particularly valuable for contractors who prefer to apply their own pricing or need quantities for supplier negotiations. All takeoffs follow industry-standard measurement practices and include clear material specifications.
Can you help with budget management throughout the construction project?
Absolutely. Our relationship doesn't end with the initial estimate. BRAND BOA provides ongoing budget monitoring and cost control services throughout your construction project. We offer value engineering recommendations, change order assessments, and regular budget reviews to keep your project on financial track. Our team can identify potential cost overruns early and suggest alternatives to maintain your target budget. We also provide updated estimates for project modifications, ensuring you always have current financial visibility.
What makes BRAND BOA's estimation services different from other quantity surveyors?
BRAND BOA stands apart through our "Precision Estimating Worldwide" approach, combining cutting-edge technology with deep UK construction market knowledge. Our team specialises across multiple trades – MEP, interior finishing, masonry, and core construction – providing comprehensive estimates rather than generic assessments. We maintain current relationships with UK suppliers and subcontractors, ensuring our pricing reflects real market conditions. Our estimates include detailed risk assessments, value engineering opportunities, and clear documentation that helps secure better financing and contractor bids. Most importantly, we're committed to on-time delivery and maintaining the highest accuracy standards in the industry.

BRAND BOA offers competitive rates starting from £250 for basic residential estimates to £2,500+ for complex commercial projects. Our accurate estimates prevent costly 20-40% budget overruns, delivering exceptional ROI for your investment.
