Estimate

What would your project cost if you put it together yourself?

Answer a few questions. You get the list of trades you’d have to hire and coordinate yourself, and what they cost on the market.

Example

A 650 to 1,080 sq ft (60 to 100 m²) coffee shop, refined finish, full scope

For this project, you’d have to hire and coordinate 8 trades:

The market cost of each trade is emailed to you with your estimate.

On-site delivery: included with the shopfitter.

Your estimate, in detail

The list of trades your project needs, based on the needs you check: from the project manager to the web designer for a store, from the sourcing agent to the packaging designer for a brand.
For each trade, its cost on the market, calculated from your answers: floor area or number of products, finish level, needs and, for a brand, the size of the first order.
A trade whose cost depends too much on the project to be estimated is marked “quoted separately”.

For entrepreneurs who know what they want to open or launch and want to know what their project would cost if they put it together themselves.
A physical store or a brand, sold to consumers or to businesses.
Every store or brand project gets its estimate, even when it isn’t ready to start yet.

It’s the market cost of the trades you’d have to hire and coordinate yourself. It isn’t a Make Lab quote.
Your quote is presented on a second call, side by side with your estimate, line by line.
Your estimate is emailed to you: after our first call if your project fits what we do, directly otherwise.
