Built to Give UK Contractors the Estimating Edge

Blaze Estimating LTD was established to meet a growing demand for dependable estimating support across the UK construction market. Many contractors face tight bid deadlines, complex drawings, and relentless pricing pressure — and most can't justify the cost of a full-time in-house estimator.

Our team works as a direct extension of your business. We provide professional RICS-chartered estimating services without the overhead — delivering the same quality you'd expect from a large consultancy, but at 30–40% lower cost and with far faster turnaround times.

From a single residential extension to multi-million pound commercial tenders, we bring the same level of rigour, accuracy, and professionalism to every project — so you can submit with confidence and win more work.

2009 — Founded
Where It All Started
Blaze Estimating LTD was established by a group of senior RICS chartered surveyors frustrated with the gap between large, expensive consultancies and the real needs of small-to-mid-sized UK contractors. We set out to fix that — and haven't looked back.
