BCIS has fundamentally transformed the way we work. We now have quick access to construction cost data, which has streamlined our estimating process and significantly reduced the time spent on research. This has allowed us to focus more on our core competencies and client relationships.

BCIS has proven invaluable to our operations, and the quality of data makes it an essential tool for our business.’

David Cosby, Chartered Surveyors & Estate Agents

‘As a chartered surveyor, I need to be able to provide accurate rebuild costs, for both residential and commercial properties.

Access to BCIS’ data ensures we can give our clients reinstatement valuations, from a brand we trust to provide accurate cost data.

Aside from providing an efficient and easy-to-use service, I’ve a longstanding relationship with the organisation that’s been strengthened over the years, by the accuracy of their data and approachable staff. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any of my peers or colleagues.’

Alex de Melverda, Astleys Chartered Surveyors

‘I continue to have great confidence in the figures that BCIS helps me to provide, because time and time again, my clients have received tenders that are very similar to my estimates. While I have cancelled other subscription services, I have continued to subscribe to BCIS – and will do until I retire!’

Ian Prestwood, Slade Parry

‘I specifically needed help with ensuring I had up-to-date residential rebuild costs, for a variety of different types of property, for reinstatement valuations. I chose BCIS as I’d previously had access to its data, when I worked for a larger firm. I knew already that it was comprehensive and easy to navigate. I continue to subscribe because it gives me peace of mind to know our business has the most up-to-date information in one place. This means I can work safe in the knowledge I’m providing accurate information to my clients.’

Nick Brewer, Plymouth Surveying Services

‘We’ve been accessing data from the indices since 2023, which helps us to set and agree project budgets, because we’re able to forecast and understand inflationary pressures throughout the different stages of the contracts we procure. It also provides our team with the insights and skills they need to make decisions based on data, rather than guesswork.

Mohammed Azeem, HS2 Limited
