At DBL Group, our Estimation services are built to deliver fast, accurate, and commercially sound cost advice—ensuring you can bid with confidence and control costs from day one. We specialise in Mechanical and Electrical estimation, supporting contractors across the UK and Ireland with tailored documentation and a flexible delivery model.
We provide accurate cost estimates to ensure your project is financially viable from the start.
We deliver clear, itemised estimates aligned with your preferred format and scope. Whether you're pricing a tender or budgeting for approval, we ensure accuracy through analysis of drawings, specifications, and industry benchmarks. Our estimates help you assess risk, secure buy-in, and price with confidence—across new builds, fit-outs, refurbishments, and M&E packages.
We provide detailed measurement and quantification of work to ensure precise pricing and budgeting. Our team produces detailed take-offs using digital measurement software, providing complete breakdowns of quantities by element, discipline, or package. All measurements are traceable, checked, and delivered in formats that integrate with your tender documentation. This supports both initial estimates and post-tender remeasures.
We create clear and comprehensive quotations, including detailed, tailored lists of inclusions and exclusions. We prepare branded, professional quote documents that reflect your business’s tone, structure, and commercial approach. Our quotations include accurate pricing, breakdowns where required, and clear notes on assumptions, inclusions, and exclusions. These are ideal for submitting to main contractors or clients and can be fully integrated with your in-house systems.
We offer summaries, clarification, and associated documentation; expert analysis of contract terms to protect your interests. We review draft contracts and tender documents to highlight risks, obligations, and commercial conditions. You receive a plain-English summary along with flagged clauses for attention—helping you negotiate better terms or prepare for commercial pinch points during the project.
We obtain material and subcontractor quotations to ensure pricing reflects true market value.
We request, chase, and analyse supplier and subcontractor quotes to support accurate pricing and package selection. We ensure all quotations are compared like-for-like, discounts and terms are verified, and recommendations are provided—ensuring what goes into your quote reflects real-world costs.
We deliver usable outputs designed to plug directly into your workflow with minimal effort. All estimation deliverables are tailored to suit your business—whether that means matching templates, integrating with costing software, or aligning with internal processes. Our goal is to eliminate the need for rework, saving you time and giving you clear, reliable information you can use immediately.
