WHAT'S THE PROBLEM

The numbers should never be the reason you lose a job.

Under-quote and you bleed margin. Over-quote and you lose the job. Here's what builders say when someone finally takes it off their plate.

We used to spend half a day on every estimate. Now it's done before the site meeting is even over. The accuracy alone paid for itself in the first month.

I stopped second-guessing my quotes. Clients can see the breakdown, they trust it, and we close faster. It's changed the way I present to clients completely.

The speed is unreal. What took us two days now takes two hours. And the margin protection built in means we're not leaving money on the table anymore.

Every number is defensible now. When a client pushes back I can walk them through the line items. That confidence alone has helped us win more of the right projects.

QUALIFY, THEN QUOTE

Our new service: Feasibility Estimate

The Feasibility Estimate is the fastest way to know whether a project is worth quoting in full, before you invest hours into a detailed take-off. Live Australian rates. Defensible numbers. Days, not weeks.

We had the Feasibility Estimate back in three days. It gave us exactly what we needed to have an honest conversation with the client before committing to a full tender.

James Whitfield Director, Whitfield Build

Three-to-five day turnaround

Plans in, Feasibility document out. No chasing, no drawn-out revisions — just a clear timeline you can promise your client the moment they send through the drawings.

Full cost breakdown, not a ballpark

Structural, external, internal, services, and site works, each priced against live Australian rates and our maintained cost library, not a national square-metre average that falls apart the moment a client asks how you got there.
