Why Architects and Builders Choose Buildersmates Every Time

At Buildersmates, we work closely with builders, architects, and builders merchants from the earliest planning stages to advise on budget control and cost estimation—key factors that directly affect project feasibility and long-term success. Our service doesn’t stop at the estimate; we’re with you through to completion.

Our team is made up of fully qualified and highly experienced builders, construction cost estimators, and cost engineers. Each member is certified to industry standards such as CPE (Certified Professional Estimator), ASPE, and RICS. All of our work is carried out in full alignment with NRM2 standards, ensuring your estimates are clear, accurate, and professionally structured.

By involving us early, you gain access to detailed cost planning that supports fair pricing, smooth contractor negotiation, and strong financial control at tender stage. We also assist with contract administration, variation pricing, valuations, and final accounts—adding value at every phase of the build.

We understand the reality of being on-site while trying to juggle pricing for upcoming projects. The market is fast-moving, and the pressure is high—especially in complex, multi-residential developments. Our expertise and tools are designed to take that load off your shoulders and guide you through confidently.

Every surveyor at Buildersmates brings not only qualifications but real-world, hands-on construction experience. We know what it takes to build—because we’ve been there. That practical knowledge translates into estimates that make sense on paper and on site.

Most importantly, we respect your time and your bottom line. Estimating can be time-consuming and often not viable in-house. That’s why we offer affordable, reliable estimating support from day one. Our pricing is kept low at the start to minimise your risk, with the goal of building long-term value as the project progresses. It’s a model that’s worked since we began in 2006—and it’s why so many of our clients stay with us.
