Precision That Builds Confidence: Fast Estimator’s Complete Estimating Service for the UK Construction Industry
In the competitive world of UK construction, accuracy, transparency, and reliability make all the difference. A well-prepared take-off or Bill of Quantities can be the deciding factor in a successful tender or a project that stays on budget.
At Fast Estimator, we specialize in providing comprehensive construction estimating services across the UK including quantity take-offs, Bills of Quantities (BOQs), activity schedules, and detailed cost estimates. Every document we produce is clear, compliant, and aligned with UK industry standards, including RICS NRM and NBS (National Building Specification) guidance.
Our Core Services
- Quantity Take-Offs
Our expert estimators prepare accurate, itemized take-offs directly from your drawings, BIM models, or specifications. Each take-off is prepared using digital measurement tools and formatted for easy integration into tender documents or procurement systems.
- Bills of Quantities (BOQs)
We produce comprehensive Bills of Quantities based on NRM2, SMM7, and NBS specification formats, ensuring clarity and consistency across all trades. Our BOQs provide a structured foundation for cost control, tender comparison, and valuation.
