Why firms use us instead of hiring
- Costs around half of employing an estimating administrator, with no NI, pension, holiday or sick cover.
- Your pricing stays in-house. We never set your rates or margins, so nothing commercially sensitive leaves your control.
- Quotes go out faster. Enquiries stop sitting in a pile waiting for a spare afternoon.
- Every pack is checked by a person. Anything unclear gets queried, not guessed.
- Monthly rolling. If it isn't winning you time and work, cancel. No notice period.
