Do I Need An Estimate Or Cost Plan?
Whether you choose an estimate or cost plan is based on your role in the project and what information you need. An estimate focuses on predicting the costs of materials, labour and all other resources required to complete a project, making it best suited to builders and contractors. A cost plan includes all these factors plus details on budget management and cost control, which is ideal for architects, developers and homeowners.

Streamline Tendering With Our Add-On Services
We’re committed to streamlining your project, not only helping you to stay within (or even under!) budget but also ensuring a smooth tendering process. Here are popular services that developers, architects or homeowners’ book alongside their cost planning:
- Schedule Of Works: Our Schedule of Works is a detailed document featuring a summary of works with a total cost and a breakdown of each element into sub-sections. It is ideal for the tendering stage as it can be sent to contractors to price.
- Bill Of Quantities: A Bill of Quantities is similar to a Schedule of Works but also includes quantities; this means that contractors will only need to input their prices rather than both quantities and prices (which is required for a Schedule of Works).
If you are a builder or contractor, we can also price any Schedule of Works or Bill of Quantities sent to you by a client, ensuring the documents are tender-compliant and maximising your chances of winning the project.
