Why?
Utilising a professional estimating company can provide significant advantages for businesses and individuals involved in construction, renovation, or any project requiring detailed cost analysis.
Knowledge & Experience
We have comprehensive knowledge and experience in our industry and stay updated on material costs, labour rates, building regulations, and procedures, all of which can impact costs. Having backgrounds as builders we understand the intricacies of construction.
Level Of Service
Being smaller enables us to deliver a level of care and involvement that many larger companies cannot match. We regularly talk to our clients about their projects and offer a personalised, one-to-one experience which our customers greatly appreciate.
Technology
Thankfully, the days of using a scale rule to measure plans and marking walls with a highlighter are over.
We now use advanced measuring takeoff software that lets us digitally scale plans to measure lengths, areas, volumes, and count items with pinpoint accuracy. We can show or hide items as needed to keep things tidy and make sure we don't miss anything on the plans!
Our top-notch estimating software pulls in live national material prices along with regional labour rates, delivering precise estimates that reflect the true costs associated with materials, labour, and overhead expenses. This ensuring that our clients fully understand the costs before commiting to a project.
Fast Turnarounds
We don't just pump out estimates like a factory line. Each one is a project with one of our builders, and we take the time needed to get it right. We usually take up to 5 working days, but we try to get it back to you as soon as we can.
Efficiency & Reduced Workload
Figuring out the costs for building projects, whether they're straightforward or complicated, can eat up a lot of time.
By letting The Estimating Company take care of this, clients can zero in on other important parts of their projects, like design, planning, execution, and managing their businesses day-to-day. Handing off this responsibility can boost efficiency, productivity, and growth.
Clear Customised Reporting
The reports are really the heart of any estimate. Accuracy doesn't mean much if a client can't connect the reports to the project, seeing clearly what's included and what's not!
We were builders, so we know what we'd want to see if we were the ones getting the reports.
We're not too eager to spill the beans on why we think our reports are the best in the industry, because some of our ideas have already been copied by competitors trying to keep up. But, needless to say, many of our clients have praised the quality and clarity of our reports compared to others, and we'd like to keep it that way.
Credibility
Using a professional estimating company can enhance the credibility of a project. Accurate estimates can instill confidence in stakeholders, investors, and clients, as they demonstrate a commitment to transparency and thorough planning. This can be particularly important in competitive bidding situations, where a well-prepared estimate can differentiate a contractor or developer from others vying for the same project.
Summary
To wrap it up, going with The Estimating Company is a smart move for anyone in construction or project management.
We bring know-how, save you time, enhance your reputation, and provide valuable insights to help you budget better and reduce risks—key factors for planning and pulling off successful projects.
