Start before the builders do

Most people tender their biggest purchase with a two-line email. Answer our questions about your project and Omnisum writes your scope of work — a proper tender document, ready to send — so every builder prices the same job, and the quotes that come back can actually be compared.

What you get

One pack, written for your job from your answers, the planning data for your address and a technical library checked by people who build.

The scope of work.Room by room: what is included, to what standard, what is a provisional sum and what is excluded — the preliminaries, the structure, the electrics, the plumbing and heating, the external work, the quality you are paying for. Written so a builder can price it line by line.
What every quote must contain.Itemised by the sections of the document; provisional sums shown separately; VAT stated; insurance, payment terms, programme and warranty in writing. With a cover message to send with it.
Who your project needs.Structural engineer, party wall surveyor, asbestos surveyor, architect, Building Control — only the ones your project actually needs, the ones it probably does not, and how to find each. We never recommend or sell you anyone: no referral fees, ever.
The plan, with dates.Worked backwards from your start date: what to start when, who does it, and which steps are already late for the date you have in mind.
A budget note.Your budget against the range this kind of job usually lands in, what moves it most, and the finishes that are effectively a second budget.

How it works

1Nine questions about the job.What you want done, whether the structure changes, where it is, what you can spend. About three minutes.
2The scope interview.Room by room, then the structure, the services, the site, what is drawn already, and the dates. About ten minutes; stop and come back whenever you like.
3The pack is written.Three to six minutes. Save it as a PDF or a Word document and send the same one to three or more builders.
4The quotes come back — bring them here.Each gets a free Quick Check on upload, and the Deep Analysis reads up to three of them together against your scope: the gaps, the levelled prices, the whole number.

One fee, £79 including VAT

The scope of work and the analysis of up to three quotes, for one project. The questions come first, so you see what it asks before you pay.

The scope of work is a tender basis document, not a construction contract: the builder you appoint will propose their own terms, and for structural work the engineer’s drawings are the specification. It is not professional, legal or structural advice, and professional review is advised for complex or structural jobs. Terms · Privacy
