Why they call

Builders do not call because a job is big. They call because it is awkward.

Willoughby is $10M–$15M of affordable housing for Plan Group. The value is not the interesting part of it. Everything below had to be priced before the building did.

Where the documentation is silent, we flag it. We do not price a guess.
Willoughby, what made it hard
01 Authority works

What the record shows
Retail, affordable housing, industrial, community and education work, across Sydney and regional New South Wales.
What it does not show
The jobs still at tender, and the ones we are not free to name. New South Wales is one of six states and territories on the record.

Questions we get asked

Can you estimate a Sydney project remotely?

Yes. About 34 New South Wales jobs in the last eighteen months. The drawing set arrives electronically and the priced bill goes back the same way.

How long does a bill of quantities take?

Ten business days is the typical run, drawing set in to priced bill out. Send the tender date and we will confirm before anything starts.

Can you take off a single trade?

Yes. Trade specific takeoffs are one of seven services. Subcontractors use them to price one package on its own.

What happens when the documentation has gaps?

We flag them. The Estimating Manager raises the questions with your team early, and every assumption is written into the bill.

Can you run the whole tender?

Yes. That is contract estimating. We sit in your estimating chair for the tender and hold the numbers together through to submission.
