Estimating services
Done-for-you estimates
Prepared by professional estimators and delivered as branded, itemised PDFs.
How we charge: We price per element, such as an extension, loft conversion or internal refurbishment. The total cost of your estimate is based on how many elements your project includes.

FAQ
Pricing questions, answered
Do the prices include VAT?
No, all prices shown exclude VAT, for both estimating services and BEX AI software plans.
Why are tender and custom estimates priced per hour?
Because their scope varies with the project. We review your drawings or tender pack first, then agree the hours, price and delivery date before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Which service should I choose?
If you need a fast, reliable quote, start with the £90 Basic Estimate. If you're presenting to clients or managing phased work, choose the Detailed Estimate. For bids or non-standard projects, use the Tender or Custom Estimate.
Can I try the software before paying?
Yes, BEX AI comes with a 30-day free trial of the full product. Nothing is charged before day 30 and you can cancel anytime.
