Construction estimating services for contractors across Scotland and the wider UK.
Millimetre Estimating Limited provides practical construction estimating support for contractors who need clear pricing, reliable take-offs, and better cost visibility on live tenders, extensions, refurbishments, and wider building work.
What The Service Covers
Estimating support built around real pricing requirements.
The focus is on producing clear estimating information that can be used to price work more confidently. That can include take-offs, pricing build-ups, budget input, tender estimate review, and support where a contractor needs a stronger pricing structure before submission.
The service is suited to contractors pricing domestic, commercial, and wider construction work across Scotland and the wider UK through a remote, document-led workflow.
What You Can Get
Typical estimating support includes the following.
The exact output depends on the drawings, tender stage, and level of detail needed, but these are the common estimating requirements.
Pricing Build-Ups
Clear cost build-ups where contractors need better structure behind a tender sum or project budget.
Tender Estimate Support
Estimating input for live tenders where pricing deadlines, scope clarity, and commercial accuracy matter.
Bills Of Quantities
BOQ support where structured quantities and clearer commercial breakdowns are needed alongside estimating.
View BOQ ServiceWho It Is For
Best suited to contractors who need dependable estimating capacity.
- Main contractors pricing live tenders and project opportunities.
- Specialist subcontractors preparing accurate package pricing.
- Teams needing support on extension, refurbishment, and new build cost planning.
- Contractors working remotely with drawings, schedules, and tender information issued digitally.
Why It Matters
Better estimating helps reduce avoidable pricing risk.
Good estimating support gives contractors clearer information before they commit to a tender sum. That helps reduce missed items, weak allowances, and pricing decisions made under pressure without enough cost structure behind them.
The previous works and case study hub gives more context on the range of project settings that sit behind this type of estimating support.

Do you only support contractors in Scotland?
No. Scotland is the main service area, but estimating support is also provided across the wider UK through a remote-first process.
Can estimating be provided from drawings and tender documents sent online?
Yes. Drawings, schedules, and tender information can be reviewed digitally, which fits the remote service model well.
Is quantity surveying included here as well?
Where broader commercial support is needed, that sits alongside the estimating offer, but dedicated QS information is covered on the quantity surveying page.
