Whether you turn over £50,000, £500,000 or £5million a year, one thing you cannot do without as a builder is work. To get work, you need to tender for it.

Whether you turn over £50,000, £500,000 or £5million a year, one thing you cannot do without as a builder is work. To get work, you need to tender for it.

If you’re a busy contractor, this would normally involve taking time off from work to put together a price, or working at unsociable hours at home. Failing that, throwing together a rough, square-foot price at the last-minute before the tender return date, running the risk of pricing yourself out, or worse, too cheap.

For the larger contractor, you may have considered employing a full-time estimator/quantity surveyor. The cost of such an employee can be unrealistic for the majority of companies, particularly in the current economic climate.

Wouldn’t you rather have a more productive day, a real home life and still give yourself the best chance of winning work, whilst still keeping your overheads at a reasonable level? At B.E.S. Ltd, we specialise in the submission of fully priced tenders, from the smallest extension to large new developments. B.E.S. Ltd provides a cost-effective solution to help grow your business and keep you profitable.

We can provide fixed price estimates from:

• • Bills of Quantities
• • Building Regulation approved plans
• • Planning drawings

We will then provide you with:

• • An accurate take-off showing full labour, plant and material breakdowns for each area of the work.
• • Project specific analysis of sub-contract quotations
• • A tailor-made breakdown of preliminary costs, specific to each job.
• • Clear indication of overhead and profit margins, suited to your company.

For our business to be successful, we need you to be successful. It is for that reason that we price each and every job individually. The price you receive is structured in such a way that it can almost be used as an instruction manual, ensuring that no stage of the build is missed and that we are competitive in all areas.
