You could be pricing incredible, landmark structures projects situated in the heart of the capital tenders that need innovative thinking and methodology.
You'll have priced projects in London; schemes with enabling works, cut & carve, basements and RC works. Could be a newbuild concrete frame with a single basement, or maybe you've tendered for piling, groundworks or a cut & carve in London Bridge. It might be a huge single or double basement in W1.
What about pulling all of this together and pricing a £30m to £50m project in somewhere like the city or the West End? Drawing on the experience in-house and putting in a tender to self-deliver these works under one roof? Locations with extremely high footfall and tubelines running everywhere?
Four/five storey basements, complex and sensitive facade retention and temporary works, strip out works to a heritage building, piling/groundworks on a compact footprint, logistical challenges with heavy construction traffic - this is the norm.
As an estimator, you'll no doubt learn new techniques after every tender. No two projects are in any way similar apart from the central London location. A chance to be involved in securing iconic, landmark projects. A reason to get the old grey matter whirring for sure
