Building Estimating Services Across Sheffield & South Yorkshire
Sheffield’s construction landscape is shaped by the city’s rich steel heritage and its reputation as one of Europe’s greenest cities. Major regeneration programmes such as Kelham Island and the Heart of the City II development are transforming the urban core, while a large student population across two universities sustains steady demand for new housing and accommodation.
Our qualified Quantity Surveyors have in-depth knowledge of the Sheffield and South Yorkshire market. We apply region-specific labour rates — typically 5–10% below national averages — and account for the particular challenges of converting former industrial buildings, renovating Victorian terraces, and building on the hilly terrain that defines much of the city.
Whether your project is in Sheffield city centre, the leafy suburbs of Ecclesall and Fulwood, or the wider South Yorkshire region, our estimates reflect current local construction costs and supply chain conditions.

Client Feedback
What Sheffield Clients Say
We used First4Estimating for a warehouse-to-residential conversion near Kelham Island. Their understanding of industrial building structures and the costs involved in stripping back steelwork while meeting modern building regs was spot on. The estimate came in within two per cent of the final build cost, which is exceptional. I’d recommend them to anyone working on conversion projects in Sheffield.
