CONCRETE ESTIMATION
SERVICES

A complete range of professional concrete estimation services for UK contractors, developers, and builders. Accurate, fast, and fully aligned with UK industry standards.

Concrete Quantity Takeoff

Precise volume calculations from any drawing format

Our concrete quantity takeoff service forms the backbone of accurate project pricing. Using specialist measurement software, our estimators work through your architectural and structural drawings to quantify every element of concrete work — foundations, columns, beams, slabs, walls, and retaining structures.

We accept drawings in PDF, CAD, Revit, and hard-copy formats. Each takeoff is produced in accordance with NRM2 standards, giving you a fully itemised breakdown by element and specification. You receive a clear schedule that can be issued directly to suppliers for competitive pricing.

Material Estimation

Full material schedules with current UK pricing

Beyond raw concrete volumes, successful projects depend on a complete understanding of material requirements. Our material estimation service identifies every component required — cement, aggregates, admixtures, formwork, release agents, curing compounds — and prices them using current UK supplier rates.

We update our pricing databases monthly to reflect market movements. Our material estimates include waste allowances appropriate to the specification and construction method, and can be tailored to the supply routes available to your business.

Reinforcement Estimation

Bar schedules, bending lists, and mesh quantities

Reinforcement represents a significant portion of concrete project costs, and errors here are expensive. Our reinforcement estimation service produces detailed bar schedules, bending lists, and mesh quantity take-offs aligned with BS 8666 standards.

We work from structural engineering drawings and specifications, identifying rebar diameters, grades, bar lengths, bending configurations, and lapping requirements. Our schedules are formatted for direct use by reinforcement fabricators, reducing processing time and minimising errors on site.

Labour Cost Estimation

Realistic UK trade rates with productivity factors

Labour costs are often the most difficult element to price accurately. Our labour cost estimation service draws on regularly updated UK trade rate data, productivity benchmarks, and site condition factors to produce realistic assessments of your concrete labour costs.

We account for gang sizes, supervision, skilled versus semi-skilled labour mix, and regional rate variations. Our estimates distinguish between directly employed and subcontracted labour, giving you flexibility in how you structure your project team.

Ready Mix Concrete Estimation

Volume, grade, and delivery cost analysis

Ready-mixed concrete delivery is subject to a range of variables that affect cost significantly — grade specification, slump class, admixture requirements, delivery distance, minimum load charges, and washout fees. Our ready mix estimation service handles all of these factors.

We work with your structural engineer's specification to identify the correct mix design, then obtain comparative pricing from regional ready-mix suppliers. Where your project crosses multiple pour zones, we optimise the delivery programme to minimise waiting time and wasted loads.

Washout and surcharge allowances
Minimum load assessments

Foundation Estimation

All foundation types across all ground conditions

Foundation work carries significant cost uncertainty — ground conditions can change, and design modifications are common. Our foundation estimation service covers strip foundations, trench fill, mass concrete pads, reinforced pad foundations, raft foundations, pile caps, and ground beams.

We work with your soil investigation reports and structural engineer's specification to produce estimates that account for concrete volume, reinforcement, formwork, earthwork support, and concrete finishing. We can model multiple foundation options to assist with value engineering decisions.

Raft and pad foundations
Pile cap and ground beams
Soil condition factors
Formwork and support costs

Slab Estimation

Ground-bearing and suspended slab cost plans

Concrete slabs — whether ground-bearing, suspended, or post-tensioned — require careful estimation to control costs. Our slab estimation service covers specification review, volume calculation, reinforcement schedules, finishing allowances, and joint design costs.

We estimate for all slab types including ground-bearing slabs on hardcore, beam and block floors, ribbed suspended slabs, flat slabs, and precast composite systems. Each estimate includes appropriate allowances for power floating, surface treatments, movement joints, and edge thickening.

Reinforced and PT slabs
Power float and finish costs
Edge and movement joints
Hardcore and sub-base included
Damp-proof membrane costs

Driveway Estimation

Residential and commercial concrete driveway costs

Concrete driveways are a common source of dispute between homeowners and contractors. Our driveway estimation service gives you a precise, defensible cost before work begins — protecting your business and giving your customers confidence.

We estimate for concrete specification, sub-base preparation, formwork, reinforcement where required, concrete depth, surface finish, driveway edging, and drainage connections. Our estimates reflect genuine current rates for materials and labour in your region.

Sub-base and preparation
Formwork and edging
Surface finish options
Regional labour rates
Block paving comparisons
Drainage allowances

Commercial Concrete Estimation

Large-scale projects, complex structures, tight margins

Commercial concrete projects — industrial units, retail parks, multi-storey car parks, warehouses, data centres — involve large volumes, complex specifications, and significant financial risk. Our commercial estimation service is designed specifically for this environment.

We provide full pre-tender estimates, elemental cost plans, and detailed bills of quantities for commercial concrete projects. Our team has experience across a range of commercial sectors and can handle projects at any scale, working within your tender programme.

Residential Concrete Estimation

New builds, extensions, and refurbishments

Residential concrete work spans a huge range of applications — from new home foundations to cellar conversions and basement extensions. Our residential concrete estimation service provides homeowners, developers, and small builders with accurate, impartial cost information.

We estimate for all residential concrete applications including new-build foundations, ground floor slabs, retaining walls, garage bases, patio bases, cellar and basement construction. Our estimates are written in plain language and structured to support client approval and contractor tender processes.
