More than a spreadsheet

Commercial instinct.
Technical discipline.

The difference is in what gets questioned. Labour productivity. Specified equipment. Access constraints. The interfaces between packages.

MX brings those questions into the estimate, so your tender reflects the work you are actually taking on.

02 / The MX approach

The number is only
as good as the
thinking behind it.

A missed item. An optimistic labour allowance. A supplier quote that quietly excludes part of the specification. Small oversights can become expensive problems.

Our approach is to challenge the detail before it becomes your liability. You get direct electrical estimating expertise, a transparent cost build-up and clear qualifications to support your commercial decisions.

Review labour allowances, assumptions and unresolved queries. Make the risks visible before submission.

Starting fees apply to appropriately scoped assignments. Final pricing depends on document volume, complexity, deliverables and deadline. VAT, where applicable, is additional. Travel, accelerated delivery and additional revisions are quoted separately. No work starts until scope and payment terms are agreed.

05 / Good questions

Before we
get started.

A few practical answers. For anything specific to your tender, get in touch.

What do you need to quote for our tender?

The drawings, specification, schedules, tender return requirements and submission date. Include any available supplier quotations and your preferred output format. You can start with a short project brief before sending the documents.

Can you help with an urgent deadline?

Urgent work is considered against the scope and current availability. A delivery commitment is made only after reviewing the documents. Any accelerated-delivery fee is agreed upfront.

Can you work alongside our in-house estimator?

Yes. Support can cover a defined package, take-off exercise, tender review or a block of dedicated time. Responsibilities and document versions are agreed so the work fits your existing process.

Do you offer labour-only estimating?

Yes. Labour-only scope can be agreed if you prefer to source and price materials yourself. The proposal will define quantities, labour assumptions and what is excluded.

Will an estimate guarantee we win the job?

No. A well-prepared estimate supports an informed bid; award decisions depend on the client, competition and other criteria. Your final selling price, margin and submission remain your commercial decision.

How are documents and fees handled?

Agree confidentiality requirements before sharing sensitive documents. Fees, deposits, revisions and payment dates are set out in the assignment proposal. A written scope keeps the working arrangement clear from the start.

Open client portal ↗ Discuss recurring support

Your enquiry. Your control.

The enquiry form submits your contact details and project brief to our private business system so we can respond. A downloadable copy is also available. The client portal separately stores assigned project records, uploaded documents, questions, commercial records, acceptance details, notification recipients and feedback to deliver and manage your service. On-demand recovery snapshots retain copies of these records and documents.

If you email us directly, your email provider’s terms apply. We do not automatically subscribe enquiry contacts to marketing. Do not include confidential project documents until confidentiality arrangements have been agreed.

Hosting providers process technical access logs. Client portal records are restricted to authorised users. Document retention and deletion are agreed for each assignment. Contact MX on 07385 891411 about your information; final business privacy disclosures will be completed before public launch.
