Turnkey Estimating
ECS can provide a “complete” service for our clients for the estimating process. From receipt of the original tender documents, quantity take-offs (if required), procurement of subcontractor and supplier quotations, programming of works, risk analysis to identify risks and opportunities for our clients, through the technical, commercial and tender review processes including adjustments to the final estimate from reviews.
Our team are versatile to quickly adapt to the changing needs of tender requirements especially when there are many changes throughout the estimating / tendering period. Updated bill of quantities, specifications, drawings, reports, notice to tenderers and all other information will be incorporated and accounted for in our final estimate to our clients.
Non-pricing assistance for tender preparation
We can also assist with the completion of non-pricing tender response deliverables, tender design submission formatting, external printing of professional dividers, hard copy covers and wrap-around book covers for the final tender submissions.
Post tender negotiations often involve quick turnarounds for responses back to the Principal, at ECS we have the capacity to continue our services throughout this time assisting with tight timeframes and estimate adjustments as they arrive.
Quantity Surveying
At ECS we also offer quantity surveying services for take-offs during the tender process and for variations that arise during the construction process. Quantity Take-offs can be a timely process so we offer this service either on its own or in conjunction with our estimating service. Our fully qualified and experienced Quantity Surveyor/s are here to help ease the pressure and are able to create a bill of quantities for pricing.
