What plans do builders need to provide?
DA-stage architectural plans are enough to begin. BASIX, NatHERS, structural, geotechnical, services, finishes and landscape documents improve the level of project-specific detail when available.
You’re pricing a job that’s cleared council — and the first builder back with a credible number is in the strongest position. Upload the DA set and a complete estimate pack comes back within 1 business day: a Cost Estimate Report, an editable costed BOQ workbook and ready-to-send subcontractor pricing packs. Measured from your plans, not templates — an estimating desk on demand, with no software to learn and no salary to add.
