Why Choose Us

“We’re sick of Inaccurate And Slow Estimate Services”

We hear you. We’re not happy with the quality of estimate services either.

So we did a case study on three other major UK building estimate providers.

We sent them two previous estimates, across our two service levels, Bespoke (a complex project), and Express (a quick project).

We found three main reasons why you should choose us below.

WHAT WE FOUND FROM THE STUDY

1. SPEED

Tired of false promises on delivery time? We’ve tested other providers lead time and found:

  • Provider A: promised a 24 hour turnaround, delivered in 4 days!
  • Provider B: took 10 working days.
  • Provider C: took 6 working days.
  • Simply Estimating: delivered in 2 working days.

We know that a delay in your estimate means you might lose out to faster competition, but with us you get a guarantee.

2. ACCURACY

We analysed 26 different factors—from preliminaries to external works. Our estimate only excluded 3 categories of work, while other providers missed 8 and 5 items respectively.

One competitor’s estimate was nearly half of ours—a mistake that could lead to major cost overruns, leaving your clients frustrated.

Its why 97% of our customers report no post-quote discrepancies. We leave no stones unturned.

3. DETAIL

We provide you with the level of detail you need to get the job done, and for your clients to understand exactly what they’re paying for.

With our service you’re saving over 15+ hours of paperwork, leaving you time to be better spent on site. Our detailed samples will show you what you’ll receive.

faq

"I can do this myself and save money."

While you might be able to create a basic estimate in-house, our service provides detailed analysis, market insights, and time savings that ultimately lead to increased accuracy and profitability. With a 97% accuracy rate, our estimates help you win more business and start projects faster.

For our Bespoke service, we handle the time-consuming task of gathering supplier quotes, presenting them in easy-to-understand reports for both you and your clients. Our Express service delivers accurate estimates in just two working days, giving you a quick overview of project costs.

Let’s work together to build your business.

"Why are the prices different between the Bespoke and Express Service?"

At Simply Estimating, we offer two main service options:

  • Express Estimates: This is a fast and cost-effective solution ideal for projects with readily available plans and straightforward requirements. Our team utilizes standardized calculations and industry benchmarks to deliver a quick estimate turnaround, typically within 2 business days. This option is a great starting point for projects where a general cost understanding is sufficient.
  • Bespoke Estimates: This service goes beyond a basic estimate, offering a more in-depth analysis that’s tailored to the unique complexities of your project. We’ll meticulously analyse your detailed plans, material selections, and any other project specifics. This option is ideal for intricate projects where a precise cost picture is crucial to avoid surprises and ensure project success.

Learn more about the difference Express and Bespoke on our services page.

"I don't have time to wait for an estimate."

We understand the tight deadlines in construction and pride ourselves on a quick turnaround, providing estimates within two working days for the Express Service. For the Bespoke service, please submit your required documentation and we will give you an exact set date for delivery in one day.

"How can you guarantee accuracy when you don't know my project inside and out?"

Our team of experienced estimators uses industry-leading software and rigorous processes to ensure accuracy. We combine this with a detailed review process to catch any potential errors.

To gain a comprehensive understanding of your project, we conduct a thorough initial assessment followed by a consultation to gather essential details. This ensures our estimates are tailored to your specific needs. With a proven track record of handling over 1000+ projects of varying sizes, we’re confident in our ability to deliver accurate estimates for any project.

"Can I still make changes to my estimate once its has been delivered?"

Absolutely. Our estimate is a starting point, and you’re welcome to adjust as you see fit based on your knowledge of the job. Just get in touch with our team and we’ll be happy to assist you.
