ONE OF OUR MANY SATISFIED CUSTOMERS.

Am I happy with the service?

Absolutely 100%. Ian my account manager, the estimators, first class. You couldn’t ask for more.

Sheldan Camden, Lunnon & Tilbury

The information that you provided is proving invaluable as it gave me the comfort that the project was affordable and I am able to use it as a cross-check on where the actual costs are going. So, a win, win situation so far and nine working days in with good weather and a ready supply of materials, things are on budget and on time.

Peter Burrell

When we heard about HBXL, we challenged the Estimating Service to run a quote for a very complex job.

They are clearly used to dealing with builders and know how to fit communications around our busy working lives!

The end result was both accurate and very in keeping with the image we’re looking to present – we’ve now taken delivery of the full suite of software.

Charles OKell,

They've hit my project deadline every time and have given plenty of support with my estimate once delivered.
