"Wow. this is brilliant, I was really hoping it would be something like this… I can see it completely changing the way we work. Especially when the client doesn’t have a clue about budget and we have to try and help them figure it out."
architect, Amos Goldreich Architecture
"This is immensely useful, amazing, that’s something that would have taken me an eternity to do."
Developer, WD Real estate
"It’s revolutionising the way building projects are being priced."
Architect, Holloway and Holloway
"This is great, the templates allow me to knock out schedules in about 10 minutes and they’re much more professional than the ones I used to do."
Project Manager, Maltwood
"I love the benchmark prices, it’s so useful to be able to give them to the clients and discuss the implications of different specifications and options."
architect, Collective Works
"Very impressed how quick the tender returns were, that caught me by surprise actually."
architect, De Rosee Sa
"I have to say, it’s very compelling, very clever, I like it."
architect, Liam Russell Architects
"It’s a very powerful tool, excellent for giving early-stage information on price."
architectural designer, Studio 8FOLD
"This is excellent, and it will be great for small practices, particularly the younger ones who are struggling to make money at the moment, and it’s a massively valuable service for contractors, they spend so much time doing quotes and still get them wrong."
architect, Form Studio
"You’re taking away all the painful bits and leaving us the fun bits."
architect, Collective Works
"Thanks for all your help, it’s a fantastic tool."
architect, Rider Stirland Architects
"BuildPartner has completely transformed how we budget projects, right from the start of the project. It allows us to design confidently, with accurate prices, so we no longer have to wait until a builder is on board. It’s a complete game-changer."
architect, Oliver Leech Architects
"It’s very impressive."
Project Manager, Better Home Company
"Having got my head around it on the Eden project I can see how this is going to be very useful."
architect, Office S & M
"I like how it helps everyone to work together to unlock value."
architect, Russian For Fish
"I don’t know how you’d do a project without it."
homeowner
"It was a lot better than I expected it to be if I’m honest."
contractor, London & Sons
"This is pretty close to my estimate, but it has all this extra detail, that’s great!"
architect, Nimtim Architects
"Many thanks for taking the time to introduce us to BuildPartner the other day! We do think it’s a great piece of software and can definitely see where it adds value."
architect, Fisher Cheng
"It struck a chord as i'm having a real problem with prices, I can't wait weeks for builders to get back to me, so it's great being able to create a feasibility study in minutes and then take it all the way through to tender."
architect, Practical Architects
"Having live costing data and such an interactive tool at our fingertips to inform the design development stage has been empowering to both us as architects and to our clients. BuildPartner has contributed to freeing up and inform the iterative nature of design development especially on residential projects with modest and finite budgets."
architect, Raydan Watkins
"It's always a bit of a worry when it comes to the tendering phase, I'm always wildly inconsistent with the amount of information I provide and customers can be so disappointed when the prices come back. This is so much more scientific and removes a lot of anxiety from the equation. It's an incredible system and product you've got here."
architect, CMBT Works
"This is something I often struggle with, I can do FF and E but it's very useful to be able to give an accurate indication of build cost as well."
interior designer, Studio Alexandra
"It's so helpful to be able to give prices for different options, even if it's something as simple as whether to have underfloor heating or radiators, we can now give concrete prices immediately."
architect, Studio CMA
"I think the idea of the platform is wicked! I've used your platform now on every project to discuss what must be done with builders."
property developer, Highlight Projects
"This is a really neat tool, I'm very impressed. It's clever, really clever."
Quantity surveyor, Contra Faba
"Where was this product when we were having to stay up all night pricing tenders!"
Quantity surveyor, Materials market
"Hi guys, I have just set up the direct debit for our subscription. It has been great to use over the past month, so it was an easy decision for us!"
Architect, Yard architects
"I love the way it spoon feeds you the information you need, it's a great means of sense checking and it does look, dare I say it, quite user friendly"
Architect, Union Architects
"I love your platform, I think it's fantastic. It's so useful to have cost information up front and then we often have to revise the cost analysis which this makes very easy"
Architect, Design Pomegranate
"It's handy on every project really. Every client's first question is how much? And their second qustion is how much now?"
Architect, TOG Architecture
"I find it very useful checking the assumptions on prime cost sums which we've always found it difficult to gauge. Especially for the high spec manufacturers who don't often advertise their prices."
Architect, Holt Architecture
"I have been waiting for a quick and easy non-numerical architect friendly cost plan programme like this for years to help frame initial/early-stage contact with domestic clients. "
Architect, Harvey Norman
"I'm quite excited about this product, we were trying to build something similar ourselves. Quotations are a nightmare and they take up so much time. We want to make it quick but still detailed which I think you're doing very well. I've tested it against my projects and I'd say we're within 5%. "
MD, Blackberry Build
"This is super useful, budgets always seem to creep up and this will help me control things."
Architect, Syte Architects
"The way you create the initial cost plan is super intuitive. I think this software is really amazing."
Architect, OR Studio Architect
"It’s so good, pricing is not a problem any more."
builder, NCM Building
