Professional Commercial Estimating
Commercial work carries cost in places residential never does — long-lead equipment, landlord and tenant work splits, phased handovers, and fit-out sequencing that has to work around a building already in use. Our commercial estimating covers office and corporate space, retail units, restaurants and hospitality, warehouses and large mixed-use developments, with the coordination between structure, envelope and MEP that these projects demand. We price the base build and the fit-out separately where the contract splits that way, so you are never arguing about which side of the demise a cost sits on. Value engineering is included as standard, because on commercial bids the difference between winning and losing is usually found in the alternatives rather than in shaving the same specification.
Key Benefits
Retail and Hospitality
Retail units, restaurants and hotels priced with the brand standards, long-lead equipment and fast programmes these sectors run to.
Warehouse and Mixed-Use
Large-footprint distribution and mixed-use schemes, with structure, envelope and MEP coordinated rather than priced in isolation.

Commercial Estimating — FAQs
How long does a commercial estimate take?
Typically seven to ten business days depending on size and trade count. A 48-hour rush service is available where a bid deadline demands it.
Can you price base build and fit-out separately?
Yes, and we recommend it wherever the contract splits landlord and tenant scope. It removes most of the arguments about which side a cost falls on.
Is value engineering included?
It is included as standard on commercial estimates. Where an alternative saves money without reducing scope, it is flagged with the saving quantified.
