The service is provided on a project-by-project basis, with the required scope and fee agreed before work begins.

This enables contractors to obtain additional estimating or pre-construction capacity when required without carrying the cost of a permanent additional employee.

Where a project also requires measured surveys, architectural drawings, planning assistance or Building Regulations information, these services can be coordinated through Insight Planning & Design rather than being dealt with separately.

The aim is to provide clear, commercially useful information that allows informed decisions to be made before construction begins and helps reduce uncertainty during the tendering process.

Builders, contractors and property professionals are welcome to send us details of a forthcoming project for an initial review.
