Sheldan Camden, Lunnon & TilburyAm I happy with the service?
Absolutely 100%. Ian my account manager, the estimators, first class. You couldn’t ask for more.
Peter BurrellThe 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.
Charles OKell,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.
Phil Angus,They've hit my project deadline every time and have given plenty of support with my estimate once delivered.
How well do you protect your profit? Will the profit margin on your projects still be the same when you start the work as the figures you submitted in your original quotations? With escalating inflation, a bag of cement is unlikely to cost the same in six, nine or 12 months time when you get...

Building material costs have been rising for months. Shortages are biting hard. Delays are difficult to manage. There’s so much to think about right now. What to do? Read on… There’s no indication that inflation will improve any time soon. In July the highest rise since records was reported with 20% inflation year on year....
Are you one of the many UK builders worried about making costly mistakes because you’re so time poor? Well it’s definitely worth treating your time with as much care as your finances. It’s just as valuable. In fact your time literally is ‘currency’ so think hard about what you spend it on. Where can you...
Health and safety fines – never had one? Don’t imagine you’ll ever get one? Geoff hasn’t got time for health and safety. Actually he’s never really given it much attention – even when work was quieter than it is now. He reckons it’s highly unlikely that the HSE will come knocking. It’s all scare tactics....
You’re running a building firm and you want to make money (not many are in it for the back ache and sore knees…). If you think success is measured by doing lots of work – always being busy – then think again. It’s not about how many construction jobs you estimate and win – it’s...
You’ll be well aware that there have been considerable price increases in a wide range of construction materials. There has been an unprecedented demand on materials in the last 12 months. Homes are being extended like never before. It has resulted in shortages, problems across the supply chain and in turn, cost inflation. The worldwide...
