Our estimates are based on 2026 UK benchmark data aligned with NRM1/NRM2 methodology. For well-defined scopes with clear specifications, estimates are typically within 10-15% of actual costs. Accuracy improves when you configure individual rooms and sections rather than using global settings.
21 categories covering: demolition, structural works, kitchens, bathrooms, electrical, plumbing, flooring, decoration, windows and doors, roofing, extensions, loft conversions, external works, professional fees, HVAC, solar, smart home, interior design, furnishing, landscaping, and compliance certificates (EPC, Gas Safe, EICR).
Costs are adjusted automatically by postcode. Central London carries a 1.3x multiplier, Inner London 1.2x, Outer London and the South East around 1.1x, with multipliers reducing to 0.85x for some regions in the North and Wales. These multipliers reflect real differences in labour and material costs across the UK.
