What you receive

An automated estimating service, not a manual process or measurement tool

Traditional estimators can take weeks and cost thousands. Takeoff software still requires manual measuring. EstiFlow delivers an automated construction cost estimate — measured from your plans, with provisionals clearly flagged.

Builder-Ready Estimate Report

A 15-section report with commercial snapshot, project narrative, estimate commentary, and a decisions-before-tender register — including value engineering analysis, risk register, DA cost estimates, and indicative finance planning summary. Built for builder review at tender stage.

Subcontractor Pricing Packs

Ready-to-send trade packages with scope briefs, BOQ tables, and input columns for subcontractor rates. Email them directly to your subbies.

Full Lockup And Fitout Scope

Structural and envelope trades through to internal fitout, services, and finishes — all in one pack. Lockup and fitout totals separated for progress claims and construction finance staging.

Measured vs Provisional Clarity

Every provisional allowance mapped to a specific action, primary lead, and dollar exposure. You see exactly what is measured and what still needs to be confirmed before going to market.

Indicative Construction Programme

Phase-by-phase timeline with lockup milestone, fitout duration, procurement lead times, and long-lead risk ratings.

Specialty And Premium Items Detected

If the plans show a lift, pool, turntable, sauna, or home automation, they appear as individually priced line items — not a generic allowance.

Editable BOQ Workbook

Every line item has qty, unit, rate, and total. Swap in your own subcontractor and supplier pricing. The workbook is yours to keep and adapt.

Interactive Estimate Dashboard

View your estimate in a rich dashboard with financial snapshot cards, trade breakdown charts, measurement coverage analysis, and payment schedule — all updating live as you edit.

Edit Rates And Update BOQ

Change any rate or quantity directly in your browser. Adjust builder margin, toggle site supervision on or off, and save your rate preferences for future jobs.

The first estimate I read was for a duplex in Marrickville. I checked it line-by-line against my own takeoff. It was within four percent and caught two services I'd missed.
