Estitect Technical Services

“When Estimating Counts – You Can Count on Us...”

Welcome to Estitect Technical Services, the essential qualification of any Company in the current market climate is the ability to act quickly on sales leads & the inevitable measuring of costs that make up the final estimate, enabling the Company to win those precious contracts.

Estitect Technical Services was formed in 1995 to give UK Electrical Contractors in the Construction Industry, a complete Electrical Estimating Service that is fast, efficient & sensibly competitive. It is often the case that in-house estimating departments are often overloaded with work, or alternatively, cannot find enough to do &, whichever way you look at it, it is very often counter-productive & certainly not cost effective.

We offer a Freelance Service that is both Professional & Personal which is second to none. Existing Clients are from Northern Ireland, Southern Ireland & UK Mainland. We offer a confidential service, all Estimates will be prepared on Our Computerised Estimating System, & will be returned back to Your Offices, allowing for any further discussion before submission of the Tender.

Material Discounts & Labour Rates can be set as standard or tailored to your own.

A PDF report will be produced to include full estimate details with Summary & Material Schedules. A Schedule of Rates will be produced as the estimate is compiled, although any alterations or special requirements for this would be subject to an extra charge. Any documents received for the same contract from other companies will be treated with "first come, first served" rule & those documents returned.

Our service consists of taking information from Clients drawings or bills of quantities & setting out in sections as required in the Tender Summary, giving quantities, details, material costs, unit time in hours & totals.

The Estimate will be prepared using Our Computerised Estimating System. Estimate Takeoff Sheets will comprise details of various items as they are taken off Your Drawings & Specification. The Takeoff will be broken down into various sections as required in the Summary of Tender, i.e. Main Switchgear, Lighting Inst., Power Inst., Fire Alarm System, Etc.

Once the various items have been taken off the Contract Documents a report will be produced. This report known as the Estimate Detail will detail the Item Description, Trade Price, Quantity, Trade Discount, Nett Material Cost, Material Markup, Material Sell, Labour Unit Hours, Total Hours, Labour Rate, & Labour Sell for each Section. All items on the Estimate Sheets will be Laboured individually using Man Hour Metric Rates. Any Confirmation Quotations required in connection with the bid, will be requested & addressed to your Company Offices.

Following the Estimate Detail a Section Summary is produced, showing Section Sell amounts to correspond to the Tender Documentation supplied by the Client.

The final report produces totals of all the components throughout the entire estimate to help engineers order materials & allow Final Quotations to be sent to Suppliers prior to ordering on successful estimates. This report also produces Installed Rates for the entire estimate, item per item.

Suppliers Quotations are itemised upon Completion of the Tender & enclosed with each Estimate.
