Win More Tenders.
Deliver with Confidence.
Alves Rowe brings clarity, coordination and cost certainty to complex projects, from feasibility through to construction. Preconstruction support for the design and build fit-out market.
Preconstruction, handled end to end
Four core services that de-risk your tender and set the project up to be delivered with certainty, plus two ways to take them together.
Take Offs and Bill of Quantities
Measured quantities taken straight off the drawings and issued as an NRM2 bill of quantities, with the measurement visible behind every line.
Cost Plans
A multi sheet workbook priced in NRM order and mapped to your own or your client's pricing document, showing what the work costs and what it sells for.
Tender Packs
Trade packages built so every subcontractor prices the same job on the same basis, issued through your project data room.
Subcontractor Coordination
We take the packages to market and bring back a like for like comparison, so you are never choosing between two quotes that price different things.
Tender Win Pack
Everything above as a single instruction, with the tender stage schedules on top, all through your private data room.
Precon Partner
Preconstruction capacity without a hire. A monthly retainer where every live tender comes back as a full Tender Win Pack.
Built for the spaces you work in
We prepare projects across a range of sectors, tailoring our approach to each environment's technical, operational and commercial demands.
Firsthand experience where it counts. We've worked inside main contractors, so we understand the pressures your team is under, and how to take that weight off your desk.
- —Tight tender deadlines. We turn drawings and specs into priced-ready packs, fast, without cutting corners.
- —Commercial risk. Clear allowances and documented assumptions, so nothing hides until it hurts.
- —Compliance and coordination. Design and procurement aligned early, before they become expensive.
- —Cost certainty. A single, trusted view of budget from feasibility to construction.
Your whole project, in one secure place
Included on every project we take on: a private, branded room where your drawings, tender packs and deliverables sit behind a single secure link, always current, so your team and your subcontractors are never hunting for the latest file or the right revision.
- —Branded to your project. Your company name and logo sit alongside ours, so the room feels like an extension of your own team.
- —Secure by default. Files open through a controlled link with no accounts to manage, and we keep a record of who has accessed what.
- —Always the current issue. Update a drawing and the link stays the same, so nobody ever prices from a superseded revision.
Our take-offs are faster and more certain than working by hand, because we built the software that does it. Kestrel is our own PDF takeoff tool, now used by estimators across the UK. Work with Alves Rowe and you get the benefit of it on every project.
Kestrel measures lengths, areas and counts straight off the PDF and exports an NRM2 Bill of Quantities, ready to price, with annotated drawings and a full audit trail.
takeoff.alvesrowe.com →Cyber Essentials certified
Your drawings, tender packs and commercial information pass through our hands on every project. Alves Rowe Ltd is certified to Cyber Essentials, the UK government backed standard covering the five controls that prevent the great majority of cyber attacks. The certification is independently assessed, renewed annually, and covers the whole organisation rather than a single system.
