Client Testimonials & Reviews
"SMA Estimating UK has completely transformed our tendering success rate. Before working with them, we were winning roughly 40% of our bids. Since partnering with their team 18 months ago, our success rate has jumped to over 85%. Their estimates are incredibly detailed and accurate - we've not had a single significant cost overrun on projects they've estimated. Sarah and her team understand the UK construction market inside and out."
"As a property developer working on a £2.8M residential scheme in Birmingham, accuracy is everything. SMA Estimating UK's value engineering suggestions alone saved us over £180,000 without compromising quality. Their 24-hour turnaround time is genuinely impressive - we submitted our drawings on Monday morning and had a comprehensive estimate by Tuesday afternoon. Absolutely essential for our business."
"We've used several estimating consultancies over the years, but none come close to SMA Estimating UK's professionalism and expertise. Their chartered quantity surveyors genuinely understand complex M&E installations. On our recent hospital project in Leeds, their mechanical and electrical estimates were spot-on - final costs came within 2% of their original estimate. Outstanding service."
"For a growing construction company, outsourcing our estimating to SMA Estimating UK was the best decision we made. Instead of employing a full-time estimator at £45,000+ per year, we pay them as needed and get access to their entire team of experts. Their estimates have helped us win over £8M worth of contracts in the past year. Exceptional ROI."
