At the start of a job I give you an honest cost view. I prepare early estimates so you know if your idea fits the money. I use recognised methods so lenders and partners can trust the figures. My early advice helps you decide scope, materials and where to save without risking quality.
I explain options in plain language and show how choices change the price. You’ll get a simple cost plan that can be updated as the design grows. That makes decisions easier and reduces surprises later.
When the design is ready I produce a detailed estimate. This uses measured rules like SMM7 or NRM so every item is covered. I price materials, labour and plant, and include allowances for risk. The estimate shows the likely cost and where the biggest expenses sit.
You’ll get a clear breakdown to help with tendering and budgeting. If bids come in, we’ll compare them to the estimate so you can spot outliers and make smarter choices.
As designs or site conditions change, costs move. I manage that change by updating the cost plan and showing you the money impact. I’ll explain which changes are small and which will push the budget. That helps you prioritise and keep control.
I also keep a simple record of variations and costs so close-out is smooth. You’ll know how decisions affected the budget from start to finish.
