“Real Estimate, No Guess Work”

Precise Quantity Estimation for Smarter Construction Decisions

In today’s fast-moving construction landscape, precision is everything. A single inaccurate figure can lead to costly overruns, delayed schedules, and lost bids. At SUCHAN, we understand that your success depends on dependable numbers — and that’s exactly what we deliver.

Our civil estimation services help contractors, developers, and engineers across Australia gain control over project budgets, streamline tender submissions, and make confident financial decisions. Whether you’re preparing for a multi-million-dollar infrastructure bid or managing residential development estimates, SUCHAN provides the clarity and confidence you need to move forward.

We don’t rely on assumptions. We rely on data, experience, and proven methodologies to produce accurate, fully compliant, and cost-effective civil estimates — from concept to completion.

What Our Civil Estimation Services Cover

SUCHAN’s team of professional estimators brings years of expertise in construction, civil works, and project management. Our services cover every stage of the project lifecycle — from early budgeting and design estimates to detailed tender take-offs.

1. Earthworks and Site Preparation Estimation

Every project begins with the ground — literally. Our estimators perform precise earthworks quantity take-offs that ensure your site preparation costs are accurate and complete.

We calculate:

  • Bulk and detailed excavation volumes

  • Cut and fill analysis with optimized reuse of site materials

  • Trenching, compaction, and backfilling

  • Site grading and leveling quantities

  • Disposal and import/export haulage volumes

Using the latest software and geotechnical data, we model terrain and soil conditions to reduce unnecessary movements and control costs. This approach minimizes environmental impact while meeting safety and regulatory requirements.

2. Utilities and Drainage Estimation

Civil infrastructure depends on robust underground systems — and we make sure every element is measured and costed precisely. SUCHAN provides comprehensive estimation for stormwater, sewer, and water mains, as well as other essential utilities.

Our services include:

  • Stormwater network estimation (pipes, pits, detention tanks, outlets)

  • Sewer mains, manholes, and connection points

  • Water supply mains, fire services, and reticulation networks

  • Electrical, gas, and NBN conduits

  • Trench excavation, bedding, and backfill calculations

We also provide pipe scheduling, utility coordination, and compliance checks to align your estimates with Australian standards and council specifications.

3. Concrete and Structural Estimation

Concrete works form the backbone of every construction project. SUCHAN’s structural estimation covers all concrete and reinforcement components, ensuring no quantity is overlooked.

We provide detailed take-offs for:

  • Foundations, footings, and slabs

  • Beams, columns, and retaining walls

  • Reinforcement and formwork estimation

  • Core structures, stair pits, and lift wells

  • Precast and in-situ concrete elements

Our estimators include allowances for waste, overlaps, and concrete curing considerations — giving you a complete, real-world picture of your material and labour needs.

4. Roads, Pavements, and External Works Estimation

SUCHAN offers complete take-offs for road and pavement construction, including base and sub-base layers, kerbs, footpaths, and driveways.

We estimate:

  • Asphalt, concrete, and interlocking pavements

  • Subgrade and sub-base compaction

  • Road furniture and signage

  • Line marking, drainage, and kerbing

  • External landscaping works including soil, turf, and irrigation

Every layer, from foundation to finish, is measured to exact standards — ensuring durable, high-quality infrastructure that aligns with local and national construction codes.

5. Building and Finishing Trades Estimation

Civil projects often integrate building components such as amenities, shelters, or site offices. SUCHAN extends its estimation expertise into architectural and finishing trades for complete project coverage.

We provide take-offs for:

  • Masonry, plaster, and roofing

  • Joinery, tiling, and internal fit-outs

  • Plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems

  • Finishing materials and surface treatments

This holistic approach ensures your tenders include every element — avoiding missed costs and unexpected variations during execution.
