Detailed construction
cost estimates, not generic cost guides.
Every output is measured from your documentation with a clear measured-vs-provisional separation. Built for builders who need cost clarity at tender stage.
- Measured, not templated
- 200+ costed line items
- No NatHERS needed
What makes the output different
Professional-grade output, authored not templated — built around how builders actually price work.
Measured from your plans
Quantities are measured from your documentation — CAD-direct where available, otherwise from the plans. Never templates, never a generic cost guide.
Editable, not a static PDF
Every line item lands in an interactive dashboard and an editable workbook. Adjust rates, quantities and margin live — the estimate recalculates.
Every provisional sum has an action
Gaps are not hidden. Each provisional allowance is mapped to a specific resolution action, owner and dollar exposure in a pre-tender decision register.
Australia-wide rate cards
Costed to current metro and regional Australian construction benchmarks, updated quarterly — so builders start from a real number, not a blank sheet.
Plans only — no NatHERS needed
DA-stage architectural plans are all we need to start. NatHERS, BASIX and engineering documents tighten pricing further when you have them.
Three builder-ready deliverables
Generated from your plans — a costed report, an editable workbook, and ready-to-send subcontractor packages.
PDF · 15+ sectionsCost Estimate Report
Structured for commercial review, not just totals. What is being built, how costs are distributed, and what needs resolving before tender.
XLSX · 200+ line itemsEditable BOQ workbook
Every line item laid out in a builder-friendly workbook so your team can review, update and reuse it.
XLSX · per tradeSubcontractor pricing packs
Ready-to-send trade packages for competitive pricing. Each trade receives its own sheet with a project-specific scope brief and BOQ table.
Market-aligned pricing, risk visibility, a clear register
From plan upload to costed output, every estimate carries the same structure a senior estimator would expect.
Upload your documentation
Same starting requirement as a human estimator: a complete DA-stage plan pack. NatHERS and BASIX certificates improve accuracy when available.
Pre-tender decision register
Every provisional allowance mapped to a specific action, primary lead, and dollar exposure.
Market-aligned costing
Costed to current residential market benchmarks so builders are not starting from a blank spreadsheet.
Indicative construction programme
Phase-by-phase timeline with lockup milestone, trade durations, and procurement lead times.
Specialty and premium items detected
Lifts, pools, smart home systems, and premium finishes appear as individually priced line items — not generic allowances.
Risks and gaps made visible
Gaps appear as provisional items or RFIs, not hidden assumptions. Risk items are flagged with dollar exposure.
Same logic as a human estimator
More complete documentation produces a more accurate estimate. Fewer provisional sums when the plan pack is stronger.

How we maintain accuracy
Estimates are benchmarked against independent construction cost references and sample professional reports for residential projects. Rates are sourced from established Australian construction cost references, updated quarterly — a practical estimating pack builders can consume immediately and refine with their own pricing.
Better plan packs produce tighter outputs. Missing information does not get hidden: it appears as provisional content or RFIs so the builder can see where risk still sits.
