About Good Estimating
Good Estimating is a freelance estimating service tailored for subcontractors and quantity surveying firms who need fast, accurate takeoffs and Bills of Quantities — without the fluff.I hold a BSc (Hons) in Construction Management and have over 5 years’ experience in the industry, including a strong background in reinforced concrete (RC) frames and structural packages. I currently work for a Tier 1 main contractor delivering major UK construction projects with turnovers of £800 million to £1 billion.My experience across main contracting gives me a detailed understanding of how packages interface, sequence, and impact programme — which means my estimates don’t just look good on paper, they work in the real world too.I specialise in drylining (ceilings & partitions) and general interiors, and use On-Screen Takeoff Pro and Causeway to produce clear, structured estimates ready for tender submission.Whether you’re a subcontractor pricing a last-minute tender or a QS firm needing temporary support during peak periods, Good Estimating provides reliable estimating that helps you stay competitive and win more work.I’m actively working toward Chartered Membership with the CIOB (MCIOB) and have a strong track record supporting both commercial and residential schemes at every stage of the tender process.While based in the UK, I operate remotely and can support clients across the UK and internationally — offering flexible, responsive estimating services no matter where you’re based.
