Bereco Launches Budget Pricing Portal to Support Early-Stage Project Planning

As we move into 2026, small and medium-sized housebuilders, developers, architects and specifiers continue to face some of the toughest conditions the sector has seen in years. Rising build costs, tighter margins, reduced access to finance and increasing sustainability expectations have made early-stage decision-making more critical than ever.

One theme we hear repeatedly from developers and architects is the need for clarity as early as possible. When programmes are tight and budgets carefully managed, uncertainty around specification and cost can quickly delay progress or restrict options.

In response, Bereco has launched its new Budget Pricing Portal, designed to give customers quick, indicative pricing for timber windows and doors at the very earliest stages of a project.

The portal allows users to select from a range of standard window and door layouts, based on a clear base specification, to generate a realistic “ballpark” budget price in minutes. Prices are calculated at maximum sizes and using a standardised specification, ensuring they remain broadly representative across a wide range of potential projects. All pricing is clearly stated as indicative and supply-only, supporting feasibility checks and early comparisons rather than replacing a full project quotation.

For developers, architects and specifiers, this removes one of the most common bottlenecks in the specification process. Rather than waiting days for early-stage estimates, users can quickly assess whether timber windows are viable within a scheme before progressing to a fully detailed quotation.

The Budget Pricing Portal builds on Bereco’s wider commitment to transparency and simplicity, including its Best Price Promise, which removes negotiation by offering maximum available discounts from the outset. Together, these initiatives are designed to reduce friction, support better forecasting and allow customers to plan with greater confidence.

While the portal is primarily aimed at trade customers, it is also available to homeowners and self-builders looking for early-stage guidance. In all cases, Bereco’s sales team follows up each submission to support customers in developing a fully itemised and project-specific quotation when required.

At a time when certainty is increasingly difficult to achieve, Bereco believes suppliers must do more than simply deliver products. By investing in practical tools that simplify early decision-making, the company aims to support developers and specifiers from concept through to completion.
