Find answers to common questions about our estimation services.
Kent & Blake prices estimates per project, per trade, or per square foot, based on project size, trade count, and how complete your drawings are. Get an exact number for your project on our pricing guide or by requesting a quote; most quotes are returned within one business day.
Detailed estimates built from complete architectural and structural drawings are typically accurate within a few percentage points; preliminary estimates from concept drawings give a workable budget range. Accuracy improves as documentation, current material pricing, and local labor rate data become more complete, which is why Kent & Blake recommends a detailed quantity takeoff before final tender pricing.
Most residential or single-trade estimates are completed within a few business days; larger multi-trade commercial or industrial jobs take longer. Turnaround depends on scope and your tender deadline. Tell us your submission date, and Kent & Blake will confirm a delivery window upfront.
A construction estimator prepares pre-construction cost predictions to help contractors win tenders; a quantity surveyor manages costs, contracts, and progress claims through the full project lifecycle. In Australia specifically, estimators like Kent & Blake typically work with builders and subcontractors on bid pricing, while QSs provide ongoing financial oversight from planning through completion. In the USA, the estimator role covers similar pre-bid cost prediction work.
A quantity takeoff measures the exact materials, labor hours, and equipment a project needs; a cost estimate applies current market prices to those quantities to produce a total dollar figure. The takeoff always comes first; an estimate is only as accurate as the quantities it’s built on. See how Kent & Blake structures a quantity takeoff.
A preliminary estimate is an early budget range from concept-stage drawings; a detailed (bottom-up) estimate prices every material, labor hour, and trade individually and is precise enough for a tender bid. Kent & Blake can start with a preliminary number from your concept drawings and refine it into a detailed estimate as your construction documentation develops; no need to wait for 100% drawings to get a workable budget.
Architectural and structural drawings, project specifications, and a scope of work. The more complete the documentation, the more precise the estimate. Concept-stage drawings are enough to start with a preliminary budget estimate; full construction documents let Kent & Blake move straight to a tender-ready detailed estimate.
