Building Estimating Services Across Newcastle & Tyneside
Newcastle upon Tyne’s construction landscape is shaped by a compelling mix of heritage architecture and ambitious regeneration. From the celebrated Georgian and Victorian streetscapes of Grainger Town and Grey Street to the award-winning Quayside waterfront developments, the city offers a diverse range of building projects that demand precise cost estimation.
Our qualified Quantity Surveyors have detailed knowledge of the Newcastle and North East market. We apply region-specific labour rates that reflect the area’s competitive construction costs — typically 10–15% below the national average — and understand the particular requirements of Tyneside flat conversions, Victorian terrace renovations and the growing demand for student accommodation near the city’s two universities.
Whether your project is on the Quayside, in the leafy suburbs of Jesmond and Gosforth, or across the wider Tyneside and North East region, our estimates reflect current local construction costs and market conditions.
