Why use SpeciBuild?
We are not like the online estimating services — we like to actually go and look at the job. Site visits — While some jobs can be priced solely from plans, real accuracy needs a site visit to fully understand how to price a project. These visits cover things like site access, waste removal, existing drainage runs, wall thicknesses, finish clarifications with the client, and so on. Take-offs from tender packs — We review tender packs, raise design queries, send out subcontractor packages, source quotes from specialist suppliers, and undertake clear, broken-down take-offs tailored to your requirements. Take-offs from site visits — Not all projects require plans and full design services. For smaller jobs we can meet the client and draw down specifications — ideal for permitted developments, kitchens, bathrooms and similar projects that may not need specialist designers. Specification & schedules of work — We can undertake full design services on behalf of the builder. This is particularly useful on refurbishment projects, as it forms the basis of the contract with the client and provides a clear representation of the works to be completed. Cost-plan documents — We provide documents and spreadsheets that make valuations, invoicing and variation tracking straightforward. Our system has been refined to work for the client while maintaining efficient cash flow for you as the builder or contractor. Variations — On top of this we can provide variation support, either over the phone or via site visits. These visits encourage collaboration and help keep design and cost aligned throughout the project.

Estimating and Quantity Surveying
“I have utilised SpeciBuild for my estimating and quantity surveying services on over ten projects within the last two years and have been consistently impressed. Their knowledge and experience in construction enable them to understand plans, specifications and real-life situations, which translates to accurately estimated timescales and costs on my projects, giving me great peace of mind. The fee breakdown for their services is clear, allowing me to select the level of support I need during the pricing process. The quotations and reports they produce are very detailed and precise to read, which clients really value — they often comment on how professional they look — while allowing my site team to gauge costings and quantities throughout the project with ease. They also offer a site visit option, where their construction experience can highlight areas of the project that designers may have overlooked. Overall, I am very happy with their services and will continue to use SpeciBuild.” — Tom Weston, Energy Build SW Ltd
