Do you really know if you are being ripped off by builders? Just imagine having an independent estimate to compare actual tenders against.

The building trade has long being a minefield for over-quotations and over-pricing. Almost every homeowner in the UK either has personally experienced overpricing by a rogue builder or has a close acquaintance who has had such an experience.

Whether you are a self builder, aspiring new extension owner or just want to value your property for insurance reasons, you’ll appreciate the services of a new website that will provide you with an accurate build-cost estimate for new builds, extensions or rebuilding of any UK property.

Simply visit iEstimate.co.uk and signup with you and your property's details, enter the dimensions and they will provide you with an estimate of the total building costs. These costs include material costs at current prices and average labour rates.

With this information in hand you can go shopping for the right builder knowing what the correct price should be for build work, and ready to negotiate serious discounts.

The site also offers members the ability to get rebuilding costs for home insurance purposes and later in the year will offer insurance quotes direct with top insurance companies, helping save members money and time.

The owners of iEstimate.co.uk are not new to the construction industry having worked in it for many years to gain the experience necessary to offer this service. With the power of the internet, they hope to reach customers all over the UK and abroad who own property in the UK and plan to undertake building work, whether it be a new roof, a garage, extension or a complete self build project.
