When it comes to estimating the costs of a construction project, accuracy is absolutely essential.
Whether you’re a construction company bidding on a competitive tender, or planning on self-building your dream home, knowing the precise costs lays the foundation for success.
At Synergy Estimates, we provide highly accurate, fully tailored building cost estimates for clients across the UK. We’re more than about just the numbers. We’re strategic partners who help you win more work, impress your clients, and move forward with confidence.
What is Construction Cost Estimating and Why Does It Matter?
The process involves forecasting the financial cost of a building project. This includes everything from labour, materials and hiring equipment, to overheads and profit margins. When it’s done well, it gives you a clear financial picture of what’s ahead, helping you avoid nasty surprises later on.
Inaccurate estimates can lead to underquoting, cash flow issues, and worse, lost credibility. That’s where our team comes in. At Synergy Estimates, we offer realistic and fully customised estimates that reflect the true cost of a project, factoring in your actual labour, plant and material rates.
Who Are Our Estimates For?
We work with a wide range of construction professionals, including:
- Builders. Whether you’re quoting for a new extension, renovation or full build, we provide you with clear, detailed costs that give you an edge when pricing work.
- Self-Builders. Taking on a construction project yourself is exciting, but also daunting. Our estimates help you plan better, stay in control, and avoid budget blowouts.
- Architects. Need cost estimates to support planning submissions or early-stage feasibility studies? We deliver dependable figures you can build around.
Whatever your role in the construction process, we’re here to make estimating easy, accurate, and stress-free.
Why Choose Synergy Estimates?
Highly Accurate Estimates
We don’t rely on guesswork or generic data. Every estimate is built from the ground up using your actual rates for materials, plant and labour. This gives you a more realistic financial picture and better decision-making power.
Customised to Your Needs
No two builders operate the same way, so why settle for average estimates? Our service is fully bespoke. Whether you want to use your own preferred suppliers or tailor your profit margins, we fit the estimate around you.
Fast Turnaround Times
We know time is often tight, especially when you’re pricing work. That’s why we pride ourselves on delivering estimates quickly without compromising accuracy or quality.
Designed to Win You Work
Our estimates are presented professionally, clearly and in a way that builds trust with your clients. Use them to show potential customers that you know your costs and that you’ve thought everything through, making you stand out from the crowd.
What’s Included in Our Estimates?
A typical construction cost estimate from Synergy includes:
- Material costs, which are broken down per item, based on your suppliers or regional rates.
- Labour costs using your preferred hourly or daily rates.
- Plant and equipment hire. If you use your own or hire in, we’ll include realistic figures.
- Subcontractor costs where applicable.
- Contingencies and overheads. Optional, but wise for managing risk.
- Profit margins which are set by you, for full control over your bottom line.
You receive the estimate in a clear, organised format that’s easy to present to clients or use internally.
Helping You Win More Jobs
In a competitive construction market, standing out matters. Many tenders are won or lost on the strength of a quote. Our clients often report a higher win rate when using our estimates, simply because they look more professional, provide more trust, and give the client peace of mind.
Plus, by knowing your costs inside out, you avoid pricing too low and eroding your profits — or pricing too high and losing the job.
