For Builders & Main Contractors

Practical Approach

We understand the practical approach of builders, the day-to-day operations of a construction company and all costs involved to run a construction site. 

PLAZA takes these into account by offering builders and main contractors estimating services that are directly co-related and aligned with the following:

​

  • Residential

  • Commercial

  • Institutional

1) The sector:​

​

  • Complete Cost Estimate

  • Tender

  • Material + Labour

  • Labour only

  • Buildxact, Buildertrend and Procore

2) The format:​

​

  • Interior Renovations

  • Fit outs

  • Conversions

  • Extensions & Additions

  • Reclad & Re-roof

  • Deck & Exterior works

  • New Buildings

  • Insurance & Repairs

3) The type of work:​

Our Standard Reports for builders and main contractors are Trade based and can be customised according to the requirements of each Project or your company standards. We can work directly with Buildxact, Buildertrend and Procore.
​
Whether you want to present an Estimate to your client or submit a Tender according to its requirements, PLAZA is able to assist builders with the take off, estimating, sub-contractors pricing and overall presentation.

What we need to carry out our estimating services

  • Scope of the Works and, if possible, the Design Brief

  • Basic plans showing the existing building and demolitions (for renovation, extension, recladding, repairs and insurance jobs)

  • Proposed Site Plans, Floor and Roof Plans, Building Services Plans, Sections, Elevations and Details to scale (depending on the Design Stage)

  • Photos and/or videos (for Insurance and Repair Jobs, videos with your comments are very helpful)

  • Your client's details and site address, your labour rates, distance to site and so on

  • Any other relevant documentation or information the builder deems necessary

A Sample of our Estimate Report and our Fee Structure are available upon request.
