What our clients think:

As building surveyors, Ashridge Surveyors often provide reinstatement valuations as part of our survey services. BCIS has become our trusted source for these valuations, offering reliable and trusted data we can depend on.

The BCIS process is not only user-friendly but incredibly efficient, making it straightforward to access and apply the data we need. This streamlined approach has significantly reduced the time spent on valuations, enabling us to focus more on other fee-earning tasks. I highly recommend BCIS to any surveyors involved in reinstatement valuations. Its high-quality data and ease of use make it an invaluable tool in our work.

Nick Brown, Ashridge Surveyors

It’s very reassuring to know we have latest data at our fingertips when we tender for work, much of which is time-sensitive. Reliable and widely-adopted across the industry, BCIS provides an efficient service we’ve used for many years.

Batcheller Monkhouse

BCIS is widely recognised as the industry leader on rebuilding costs data. The service means we can prepare assessments, safe in the knowledge they’re suitable to use within our projects. It also gives us flexibility to adjust our models for our own requirements and more detailed elemental breakdowns. Modern, intuitive and easy-to-use, our team can access the data easily, from anywhere.

Roshan Sivapalan, Blakes Chartered Surveyors

We use BCIS data across a wide range of projects and maintenance contracts on some of England’s most important and iconic structures. The data is readily accessible and well-organised with regular updates.

It’s also easy to examine building cost data in granular detail, which is essential when dealing with heritage and conservation projects that require specialist expertise. The data has proved to be a reliable source of information for predicting outturn costs, especially during the recent periods of uncertain cost and price fluctuation.

Sheriden Sleap, English Heritage

BCIS provides a wealth of reliable data on materials and labour that’s easy to retrieve from the archives. It’s proved invaluable when I’ve needed to present evidence in court for insurance claim disputes, as it’s helped stop disagreements from escalating.

I first heard about BCIS when I was employed in a large private practice some years ago but continue to use the service because it saves valuable time.

John Gillott, E-Value8

‘The BCIS data is invaluable for our internal credit analysis to assess the commercial viability of an individual development financing and provides us with a wider understanding of the current pressure point in the construction industry in the UK’

Léon Karens, Aros Kapital Ltd

As a team of cost consultants, we need a reliable, reputable source of cost data and indices to strengthen our internal cost library and support the advice we provide to clients. BCIS was the natural choice—its historic cost data and indices are widely recognised and trusted by clients, consultants, and contractors alike.

BCIS ensures we can respond to client requests quickly and provides a trusted and reliable source of data that we can rely on.

We also use BCIS to add project analyses to our benchmarking reports, which gives our clients more confidence in the numbers we provide.

In addition to this, we appreciate how easy it is to access up-to-date construction cost indices and relevant data that’s invaluable for benchmarking. The ability to tailor project cost analyses directly within BCIS is also a tremendous asset that saves us time and ensures greater accuracy.  

Mark Harris, Exi Cost Consultants Ltd

BCIS plays a crucial role in supporting our highways, estates, and development teams, especially in assessing project feasibility and planning maintenance. It’s our primary resource for early cost estimations across diverse schemes, from commercial developments to highway upgrades and affordability assessments.

BCIS also allows us to calculate rebuild costs for insurance premiums and provide essential data for our estates and insurance teams. The service has become integral to our workflow and as a reputable source with a good industry reputation, it’s invaluable to have this assurance when evidencing costings. 

Oliver Tyack, Torbay Council

We needed to price some works that had been completed 18 years previous and provide the estimated cost at that date. BCIS saved us a considerable amount of time, as we didn’t have to search through data from previous years. We were also confident we could provide our client with information that had been calculated robustly.  The service is regularly updated to reflect changing market conditions, which also means we can provide up-to-date inflation forecasts.

Tom Francis, Varsity Consulting Ltd

BCIS offers a wide range of rates which can be used to help standardise our services, create budgets for clients and confidently advise our clients.

BCIS is accepted by most as the best place to obtain construction cost information; this means we can reference BCIS knowing our clients will accept the data is from a trusted source. The software also ensures we can find an array of costs in one place, as well as provide final costings in one document.
