2) What’s the difference between a take-off, an SoQ and a full estimate?

A take-off measures quantities, an SoQ packages those quantities into trade-friendly schedules, and a full estimate adds labour, materials, plant, preliminaries (P&G), margins, and risk allowances to produce a complete build cost.values are specific to a scope of work and can range accordingly.

4) How do you handle preliminaries and site logistics for Hamilton builds?

We use local costs from local suppliers and explicitly allow for project-specific constraints (access, skip bins, traffic management where required, temporary works, supervision, insurances etc). The goal is fewer surprises when the job moves from tender to site.
