Overview
Effective cost planning is the difference between a project that delivers on budget and one that spirals out of control. From early feasibility studies through to detailed pre-tender estimates, Page Building Consultants provides cost planning services that give developers, architects, and contractors the financial clarity they need at every stage of a project. With 40 years of UK construction pricing experience and advanced estimating software, we deliver estimates you can rely on.
Key Benefits
Feasibility Studies
Early-stage budget estimates that help you decide whether a project is financially viable before committing to design fees or planning applications.
Elemental Cost Plans
RIBA stage cost plans broken down by element — substructure, superstructure, finishes, services — giving design teams clear cost targets to work within.
Value Engineering
We identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising quality or programme, helping you get the best value from your construction budget.
Pre-Tender Estimates
Detailed estimates prepared immediately before tender, giving you a reliable benchmark to assess contractor bids against.
Contractor Support
We also work directly with contractors to price tenders competitively, helping them win work while maintaining healthy margins.
Fast Turnaround
Most cost plans are delivered within 24 hours. For complex multi-phase projects, we agree a realistic programme upfront.
How It Works
Project Brief
Tell us about your project — location, type, size, and programme. We'll confirm what information we need and agree a fee and turnaround time.
Cost Analysis
We analyse your drawings and specifications against current UK market rates, applying our database of live pricing data and regional cost factors.
Cost Plan Delivery
You receive a clear, structured cost plan with elemental breakdowns, allowances for contingencies, and a summary suitable for client or funder reporting.
Ongoing Updates
As the design develops, we update the cost plan at each RIBA stage to track cost movement and flag any budget pressures early.
