Site overhead included
Build days × £800/day. Every build day is overhead — slow systems carry it, THOM sheds it.

Live rates
All prices come from THOM's governed pricing feed (Checkatrade, manufacturer retail and independent benchmarks) — never hardcoded.
04
Same exclusions for every system
Floor slab, roof, windows/doors, MEP, planning, professional fees, groundworks and VAT.
Analysis for budgeting comparison only. Panel-only prices are not the real installed wall cost once support steel, fixings, trims and labour are included. Contact THOM for project-specific quotations and detailed BoQs.
