SJ Estimating House / Since 2021

Built around
the people
doing the building.

We help builders, contractors and merchants turn construction documents into quantities, estimates and clearer next decisions.

Our story

More than a set
of numbers.

Founded in 2021, SJ Estimating House brings together an estimating team with more than nine years of industry experience. Our work supports the decisions that sit between a drawing, a supplier enquiry and a construction tender.

For New Zealand projects, that means understanding the agreed scope, reading the drawings alongside the specifications, and keeping assumptions visible. We work remotely with your team and tailor the handover to the way you price and review a project.

We do not replace the people making design, engineering or compliance decisions. We help them work from a clearer measurement and estimating basis.

A shared responsibility for the detail

One team.
Connected disciplines.

A project moves through defined responsibilities, with questions returned to your team when a drawing or specification needs clarification.

01

Scope coordination

Confirm the current documents, packages, format and required date with your team.

02

Digital measurement

Measure the defined scope and keep drawing references and specification distinctions visible.

03

Estimator review

Review quantities, package boundaries and assumptions before preparing the handover.

04

Project communication

Present queries and changes clearly so your team can decide the next action.

Project scope, programme and delivery dates are confirmed individually. Code-related details remain subject to the project designer’s and relevant specialists’ review.

The way we work

Clarity is part
of the deliverable.

A defined brief. We establish what the package covers and what falls outside it.

A traceable basis. Quantities sit alongside the document references and assumptions that explain them.

A practical conversation. Open questions remain visible, with space for your team to clarify the next step.
