Too many enquiries.
Not enough time to price them right.

If you're running a small construction firm, pricing almost always falls on the owner, a stretched commercial lead, or whoever has a spare evening. That means rushed take-offs, missed scope, slow tender returns, and jobs priced too tight to make real margin.

Hiring a full-time QS is expensive and hard to justify when workload fluctuates. TenderNest QS gives you professional pricing support exactly when you need it — and nothing when you don't.

  • Submit more tenders without overloading your team
  • Reduce missed items and costly pricing errors
  • QS-level accuracy without the salary overhead
  • Stay competitive while protecting your margin

Built for firms that need
solid numbers, not fluff

TenderNest QS is for growing construction companies that aren't ready for a full-time QS but can't afford to price jobs badly.

01

Small Builders

Pricing extensions, refurbishments, loft conversions, and new-build homes where missed scope costs real money.

02

Subcontractors

Groundworkers, M&E, drylining, and trades who need accurate take-offs and tender pricing to win packages competitively.

03

Growing Main Contractors

Scaling from £500k to £5m turnover and tendering on larger jobs — but not ready to justify a full-time QS yet.

04

Director-Led Businesses

Where pricing falls on the owner — eating into time you need for running jobs, managing clients, and winning new work.

Why outsource instead
of hiring straight away?

  • No salary, NI contributions, pension, or holiday pay — pay for the work, not the seat
  • Support for a single tender or your entire pipeline each month
  • Faster tender returns at your busiest times, without the stress
  • More consistent, structured pricing across your business
  • More capacity to chase the right jobs and turn down bad-margin work
  • A clearer picture of cost, risk, and profit before you commit
  • Scale support up or down month to month as workload changes
  • Better pricing habits and commercial processes built over time
