We are an independent UK construction cost consultancy dedicated to bridging the critical gap between architectural vision and financial reality.
Founded on the belief that transparent, rigorous data leads to successful, profitable construction projects.
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.
Every report and bill of quantities produced by SQS Build Estimate is governed by four immutable standards.
Uncompromising mathematical exactness. We measure takeoffs down to individual units, square meters, and linear runs to eliminate expensive discrepancies.
Zero hidden assumptions. Every line item is clearly articulated, allowing contractors, developers, and clients to see exactly where every pound is allocated.
Presentation-ready documentation formatted to UK industry standards, empowering you to present confidently to lenders, clients, and councils.
We respect tender deadlines. When we commit to a turnaround date, your estimate will be delivered on time, thoroughly verified and ready to deploy.
