Estimating support built around the way trade professionals work
If you're a builder, contractor, developer or architect with projects in Crawley or the surrounding West Sussex area, accurate cost estimating is what separates a winning tender from a loss-maker, and a viable development from one that doesn't stack up.
We provide professional construction estimating services built for trade professionals — not consumer quote platforms, not single-line ballparks. Our estimates are fully itemised, clearly structured by trade, and delivered within 24–48 hours to meet tender deadlines and client pricing windows.
Crawley's housing stock is predominantly post-war — large numbers of semi-detached and terraced properties across neighbourhoods like Pound Hill, Three Bridges, Maidenbower, Tilgate, and Broadfield that are well suited to loft conversions, rear extensions, and garage conversions. It's exactly the kind of volume residential work our estimating service is built for.
Builders and main contractors
Tendering for residential work across Crawley and West Sussex? We provide pre-tender estimates, tender cost checks, and post-tender value engineering support. We understand the local subcontractor market and build-cost environment in the Crawley area, producing figures that reflect what projects actually cost to deliver here — not generic national rates.
Single trade contractors
Whether you're pricing a loft conversion fit-out, scoping groundworks for a rear extension, or assessing a multi-room refurbishment across RH10 or RH11, we produce trade-specific cost breakdowns that help you price with confidence and protect your margin on every job.
Property developers
Crawley's adopted Local Plan 2024–2040 signals a clear direction toward residential intensification, brownfield reuse, and higher-density development — particularly around the town centre and infill sites across the borough. We provide appraisal-stage estimates for conversion and development projects with the detail needed to test viability before you commit to a site or planning application. We're also familiar with the Gatwick safeguarding zone constraints that can affect certain sites in the north of the borough.
Architects and designers
We work alongside architects at RIBA Stage 2, 3, and 4 to produce cost plans that keep design ambitions aligned with client budgets. If a scheme needs value engineering, we identify where savings can be made without compromising design intent. We're used to working from drawing packages at varying stages of completeness and will always flag where assumptions have been made.
