Order of Cost Estimate

When to use it: An Order of Cost Estimate is prepared at the commencement of the scheme to help establish your development budget.  It is applicable to projects that are at Appraisal stage or undergoing design briefing.  Order of Cost Estimates are undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the New Rules of Measurement 1.  Once you have selected the likely project value, and placed your order, we will issue you with a list of information required so that we can start work on your cost plan.

Note: Your attention is specifically drawn to Clause 4.3 of our Terms of Sale.
