Construction Estimation

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
