Estimating & Trade Take-Offs
If you do not have the time or in-house resource to measure a tender properly, send us the drawings and specification. We will prepare a clear trade-by-trade take-off that you can price using your own rates, or develop into a full estimate where required.
Measured by People Who Know How the Package Is Awarded
Our experience procuring and commercially managing trade packages means we look beyond the dimensions. We consider scope interfaces, drawing gaps, specification requirements, attendances and tender risks that could materially affect your price.
More Than a List of Quantities
Set Out So You Can Price It
The take-off can be organised by plot type, block, floor, location or work section to suit the tender. You receive a usable pricing schedule together with the assumptions and queries raised during measurement—not a raw dump of quantities.
What You Receive
Every enquiry is different, but the output is always organised, transparent and prepared for practical use.
Usable Pricing Schedule
A clear schedule or bill that allows you to apply your own labour, material, plant and subcontract rates against the measured quantities.
Assumptions & Tender Queries
A separate record of drawing discrepancies, missing information, scope interpretations, exclusions and points requiring clarification before submission.
Optional Priced Estimate
Measured quantities arranged by trade, plot type, block, floor or work section, depending on the structure of the project and tender.
Detailed Trade Take-Off
Where required, we can apply agreed rates and project-specific allowances to develop the take-off into a priced estimate or independently review your completed tender.
Trade Packages We Can Measure
Our core experience covers the following housebuilding and construction packages. For combined or specialist enquiries, we can review the tender information and confirm the measurable scope before starting.
Groundworks, Brickwork & Scaffolding
Measured quantities for groundworks, drainage, foundations, brickwork and scaffolding packages, based on the available drawings, details, specification and stated scope.
Carpentry, Drylining & Tiling
Detailed measurement of carpentry, drylining, insulation, ceilings and wall and floor tiling, arranged by plot type, area or work section to suit the enquiry.
Take-offs for plumbing, electrical and landscaping packages where the tender drawings and specification contain sufficient information to support reliable measurement.

Tender Due and No Time to Measure It?
Send us the drawings, specification, scope information and tender return date. We will review the pack and confirm what can be measured, any obvious information gaps, the required turnaround and our fee before starting.
