Internal Refurbishment Specialists

Another tender lands. Your team's already stretched.

Internal refurbishment tenders carry their own pressures — phased handovers, occupied buildings, live M&E coordination, tight programmes with no room for a slow start. When another one lands and your estimating team's already at capacity, I step in and deliver a compliant, accurate BOQ you can submit with confidence.

Why main contractors bring me in

Estimating capacity, exactly when the tender calendar needs it

Another package lands, the team's stretched, the deadline doesn't move. I step in as an extension of your commercial team — not a separate process to manage.

  • No salary, pension or employment overhead — pay for the tender, not the headcount
  • Scale up or down as your workload shifts through the tender calendar
  • Available at short notice when a deadline lands with no warning
  • Full BOQs and cost plans — NRM / SMM7 compliant, ready to submit
  • Flat day rate — simple, transparent pricing, no surprises

We had a tight deadline on a school refurb tender and needed someone who could hit the ground running. Harley was brilliant — understood the scope quickly and the BOQ he produced was thorough and accurate.
