The estimator problem

UK facade contractors face a structural bind. Experienced estimators are scarce, expensive, and risky to hire when tender flow is unpredictable.

💰

Hiring is expensive

Salary, NI, pension, software licences, laptop, onboarding time, management overhead. One estimator costs far more than their payslip.

📉

Tender flow fluctuates

Three live bids this month, one the next. Fixed headcount turns into fixed cost that doesn't flex with your pipeline.

🔥

Burnout kills quality

Running two estimators on five bids creates chaos. Assumptions slip, build-ups get sloppy, revisions compound. Rework eats margin.

⚠️

Post-Grenfell complexity

Fire safety compliance has made facade specifications denser and more technical. Every bid takes longer and carries more risk.

Elastic estimating capacity

TSC Facades works as your external estimating department. Scale up when bids pile in. Scale down when they don't. Pay for what you use.

01

Clean take-offs from drawings

Accurate quantity extraction, properly documented, ready for pricing and review.

02

Solid build-ups with supplier pricing

Detailed cost breakdowns with controlled supplier rates and clear assumptions.

03

Tender-ready packs, delivered on programme

Complete submission packages with revisions handled. One-off or recurring plan.

04

Facade-specialist knowledge

Not a generalist estimating service. Deep expertise in cladding systems, SFS, curtain wall, and rainscreen.

Growth isn't doing more bids. Growth is submitting better bids faster.

TSC Facades exists so that facade contractors can scale profitably, without the overhead that kills older firms.
