Italy 🇮🇹 to 🇹🇭 Thailand.
Good to get to a more “workable” spot. Everything in one place, %80 more focused.
Good heat and have to be beach side.

%6 out on a £175k Project in central London.
Now…it’s not always this close but when you’ve being doing this s**t for 6.5 years and priced your own building companies work for 5 years prior.
You start to get a handle on things.
Fair to say I think Krishan will be coming back.

Can anyone relate to this comment

Builders are the ones receiving all the costs / invoices & know the problems that occur on site.
Great way to put this, but builders should be the first point of contact at all times.
Most builders lose money before they even start on site.
Not because of the build. Because of the pricing.
A rushed take-off, a missed item, a BOQ that doesn't stack up, and the margin's gone before the first block is laid.
That's what we fix. Clean, accurate Bills of Quantities and take-offs that let you price with confidence and actually win the work.
This is what we do all day, for builders and contractors across the UK.
Send us your drawings and see the difference.

Spoke to a €5m builder this morning paying their top QS to price jobs that never go ahead.
If you're in the same boat, email us at [email protected], we'll take it off your hands so your team can crack on with the live work.
Three things I've learned pricing projects in the UK: we're not just estimators, we're QS's who actually care if you win.
That's why our repeat rate is 35-40% and we've got 42 five-star reviews.

What's Behind the Stairs Could Cost You
One overlooked line item can turn a profitable stair fit-out into a costly lesson. Always consider asbestos surveying and potential removal as part of your early-stage budgeting.

The Expenses That Sneak into Every Project
One of the biggest estimating mistakes is forgetting the cost of getting people and equipment to site. Every vehicle on the road is costing you money, and if it's not included in your pricing, it's coming straight out of your profit.
