In the Trade
Good on the tools. Need a hand with the paperwork?
Construction advice from someone who's been on the contracting side of the table.
Running a building business involves more than getting the work done.
There's estimating, quotations, contracts, health and safety paperwork, variations, customers to keep informed and payments to manage. All important, but not necessarily what you want to spend your evenings doing.
Building & Construction Advisor can lend a hand.
Whether it's one particular task or support throughout a project, we offer practical assistance without the commitment of employing a full-time estimator or contracts manager.

Experience from the contracting side
Building & Construction Advisor draws on first-hand experience of running a building contracting business — from estimating and tendering through to contracts, site management, commercial administration and completing projects.
We've dealt with the practical challenges that come with running building jobs, managing customers and subcontractors, controlling costs and keeping work moving.
It's advice grounded in doing the job, not just talking about it.
Remote support or on site
We can assist remotely with documents, estimates, contracts and correspondence, wherever your project is in the UK.
Site visits and attendance at meetings are also available by arrangement, with any associated costs agreed beforehand.
