Today’s construction market is busier and more competitive than ever. Having accurate estimations for the full cost of a project makes all the difference, ensuring you stay on-track and on budget.
Whether you work as a builder, architect or project manager in Oxfordshire, an estimate that reflects the true cost of labour, materials and more can mean the difference between a project that’s profitable and one that eats into your margins.
Synergy Estimates, a leading domestic construction online estimator, has designed our service around affordable cost estimates that are highly accurate.
Here are the top five benefits of having an expert online estimate for your next project in Oxfordshire:
- Align Your Estimate with Your Unique Business Rates
Whether you’re a self-builder in Bicester or part of a larger architectural firm in Abingdon, your plant and labour rates will differ. Off-the-shelf estimating tools tend to rely on national averages or generic data, which can skew your bid and leave you, or your client, exposed.
Why Accurate Cost Estimates are Key
- Accurate Profit Margins: By factoring in your own labour rates, plant costs and material mark-ups, you avoid the all-too-common trap of under-quoting or over-pricing.
- A True Reflection of the Costs: Local suppliers, the availability of labour and the way plants are used all influence your actual expenditure. Having an indepth cost estimate by experts ensures none of those variables are overlooked.
- Give Yourself a Competitive Edge: A tailor-made estimate which includes all your real costs gives you confidence to submit competitive bids without sacrificing profitability.
How Synergy Helps
Synergy Estimates enables you to create reports using our software and the knowledge of experienced estimators.
A clear, professional estimate isn’t just useful internally; it’s a vital document for clients too. Inaccurate or confusing cost breakdowns can erode trust and slow down decision-making. Customisable reports ensure both you and your client are always on the same page.
Key Advantages
Easy to Read Reports. They list materials, hours of labour and the usage of equipment, in an easy-to-read format.
Client Copy Included: Every estimate comes with a polished copy you can hand directly to your customer—no extra formatting required.
Consistency in Communication: When everyone sees the same figures, miscommunications vanish and approvals come faster.
Synergy’s Approach
From your initial brief, our estimating team drafts a written estimate that doubles as a client proposal. You’ll receive your working copy complete with editable rate fields and internal notes.
We can also provide another version for clients, which is branded and has a concise summary showing total costs and a simple breakdown.
Make Changes with No Hidden Fees
Small changes inevitably crop up: perhaps your client changes the types of bricks used, or you want to alter labour hours to speed up your project. With traditional estimating services, each tweak can add administrative costs and delay your tender. Our online tools eliminate that problem.
We know that unexpected changes are part of construction. That’s why, once your initial estimate is set up, you can revisit and revise as many times as you need—at no extra cost for those minor alterations.
Expert Support—Online and Over the Phone
While an online estimator is highly convenient, there are moments when a quick chat can prevent confusion. Synergy Estimates isn’t just a software platform; it’s backed by real people with decades of experience in the construction industry.
Confidence to Begin Building
Finally, the greatest benefit of a customisable estimate is the peace of mind it brings. With Synergy Estimates, you’re not just receiving numbers on a page; you’re gaining a strategic partner in your tendering process.
