Most builders send a quote that looks like this:
Extension — £85,000
One line. And the client immediately thinks: “How did they get to that number? Can I trust this?”
We see this every week. It’s costing builders jobs — not because the price is wrong, but because the quote looks like a guess.
What a Professional QS Report Looks Like
- ✅ Site preparation & enabling works — £2,400
- ✅ Foundations & groundworks — £8,200
- ✅ Frame & structural — £14,600
- ✅ Roof structure — £9,800
- ✅ External envelope — £11,200
- ✅ First fix MEP — £7,400
- ✅ Second fix & finishes — £18,600
- ✅ Prelims & site management — £5,800
- ✅ Contingency (10%) — £7,000
- Total: £85,000
Same price. Completely different perception. The client sees a professional who’s thought it through — someone worth hiring.
Why Credibility Beats Price Every Time
In our experience working with hundreds of UK builders, the quote that wins isn’t always the cheapest — it’s the one that gives the client confidence.
A detailed, itemised report answers every question before it’s asked. Is this fair? What’s included? Can I trust this builder?
