From initially providing an estimating service to main contractors for the glazing industry, back in 1985, the business grew as many main contractors began to ask if we could also provide an estimating service for other trades as well. As a result for over 30 years we have been offering a wide range of services, all orders for which are placed directly with the sub-contractor, supplier or manufacturer, in the normal way. Contract Services simply act in the capacity of an estimating service. Our decision to begin providing a select group of companies with project information, was very much taken as a result of finding that the core estimating service, although being used extensively by main contractors at tender stage, did not provide sufficient business in itself. It is one thing to provide free estimating but quite another to then secure the sub-contract and there was a need to maintain a regular income to be able to continue to support the main contractors with a tendering service.
