Estimating built around your trade

How subcontractor estimating differs from the main contractor model

Subcontractors face a different set of pressures when it comes to pricing. You're not pricing the whole project — you're pricing your trade, quickly and competitively, to a deadline set by someone else.

  • Main contractor enquiries often land with 1–3 days' notice — you need to respond fast or lose the opportunity
  • Multiple enquiries arrive at once from different main contractors — all with overlapping deadlines
  • Trade-specific measurement requires reading your scope out of a complex set of drawings — not a whole-project BOQ
  • Most specialist subs don't carry a full-time estimator — pricing falls to the MD, director or a site manager
  • Framework and schedule-of-rates bids need structured, competitive pricing that holds up over the full contract term

I provide exactly the support subcontractors need — fast, accurate trade take-offs and pricing that lets you respond to more enquiries, competitively, without putting the pressure on your own team.
