WHO WE ARE

Our Approach

SQS Build Estimate was established to replace rough guesswork with analytical precision.

We provide builders, architects, property developers, and ambitious homeowners with comprehensive, presentation-grade estimating services. Whether bidding for multi-million pound residential developments or pricing a bespoke home extension, our calculations provide the certainty required to negotiate contracts, protect profit margins, and secure bank funding.

Every estimate is individually crafted from first principles: analysing ground conditions, structural specifications, architectural finishes, local trade labour rates, and real-time UK material indices.
