What they say

I highly recommend Nest estimating. I was having difficulty getting detailed quotes from builders for a garage extension and had no idea what costs were reasonable. Kyle at Nest estimating was able to give me an independent, detailed quote so I knew what to expect and what was a reasonable cost for the work. Gave me the information and peace of mind I needed.
- Rebecca WinterhalderHomeowner
We had been struggling to strike the balance between speed of turn around and depth of information for our pricing submissions. A local search came up with Nest Estimating. Kyle's approach, work ethic and quality and depth of information is excellent matched with an efficient turn around time. We have no hesitation in recommending him and Nest Estimating services.
- Steve GreenEcoBright Group
We would recommend Nest Estimating and have done to our clients. They have worked on a number of our projects ranging from small to large scale extensions and refurbishment projects for private homeowners to local authority projects such as disabled adaptations. Offering a range of services to suit our client’s needs and the ability to pick up the phone to ask advice on project costs is invaluable. A service we can rely on and something we believe is important for our clients.
- Andy Briers MRICS IMaPSForest Edge Surveyors Ltd
Most of my clients have to work to a budget for their proposed designs and alterations. Nest Estimating has been very useful to them following an initial design to get a realistic base cost for the primary works. This then means they continue to build their scheme or redesign to reduce elements if need be. The cost of Nest Estimating is a very small element when considering the overall cost of a building project and they provide a useful cost calculation if needed through to a full estimating service if required.

Nest Estimating have been our estimators for over 12 months providing a fully supportive and professional service. Providing a comprehensive estimate breakdown to the customer has given us the additional professional edge and goes a long way to establishing the standards that we then deliver from concept to completion. Customer feedback on delivery of the Nest estimates is astonishing, when compared to our competitors the level of detail and information included surpasses every time. Our ethos is to provide transparent information and the estimates enable informative breakdowns that the customers understand and help them connect to their build.
- Lisa Shefferd, Business Development Manager Ecobright Group
Over the last 12months I have had the privilege toward hand in hand with Nest Estimating. The team at Nest have all been very professional, patient and understanding. With all my enquiries I have sent their way and most of all they have been super competitive and we have recently won a large contract with EDF Energy. My one to one contact within the team Kyle has put his heart and soul into my projects working all hours to make sure my tenders reach the right person at the right time. As a contractor I feel confident with Nest as part of my team and over the 12 months have not only acquired a top level business but some good friends along the way.
