First Principles Estimating
When historical rates and benchmarks aren't sufficient, we build costs from the ground up — labour, plant, material, and overhead derived from actual production rates.
What’s included
- Labour, plant, and material build-up from production rates.
- Current market pricing research and verification.
- Bespoke specification and methodology cost analysis.
- Overhead and profit structure cost modelling.
- Independent cost verification for unusual or specialist works.
- Cost comparison between alternative construction methodologies.
Bespoke works, unusual specifications, or projects without direct precedent require a different approach. We build costs from first principles: labour, plant, material, and overhead build-ups derived from actual production rates and current market pricing. This is estimating stripped back to its fundamentals, and it's where our team's technical depth matters most.
