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
- 903 priced items in the residential sample
- Plans and model files accepted
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. Assumptions and unresolved scope remain identified.
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.
Residential can start without NatHERS
DA-stage architectural plans can start a residential estimate. Commercial and other work uses the current drawings, schedules, specifications and model files available for the job.
Three builder-ready deliverables
A full estimate includes a costed report, editable workbook and ready-to-send subcontractor packages. The screenshots show representative outputs; exact document length and line counts vary by project.
PDF · 15+ sectionsCost Estimate Report
Structured for decision-ready review, not just totals. See what is being built, how costs are distributed and what needs resolving before tender.
XLSX · Editable 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 document upload to costed output, each full estimate follows a consistent builder-ready structure. Exact report length and line counts vary with the project.
Upload your documentation
Residential work can start from a DA-stage plan pack. Commercial and other work uses the current drawings, schedules, specifications and model files available for the job.
Pre-tender decision register
Every provisional allowance mapped to a specific action, primary lead, and dollar exposure.
Market-aligned costing
Costed to current Australian construction benchmarks with metro and regional rate cards, 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.
See the basis behind the number.
EstiFlow does not stop at a top-line total. The delivered report and BOQ show the trade build-up, quantities, rates and status of the priced scope.
Document-derived quantities identify the relevant drawing, schedule, model or method. Issued drawings govern material conflicts with model information, and the resulting basis remains visible.
When something cannot be resolved from the supplied documents, it appears as a named assumption, provisional item, exclusion or action rather than being hidden inside a broad allowance.
On a 2026 Sydney residential project our total came within 4.4% ex-GST of a bill of quantities prepared independently by a tier-one Australian quantity surveying practice. One project, blind comparison.
The number is useful because its basis stays visible.
The standard, in numbers.
Fully-cited lines per estimate — every line traced to a source document.

The report, BOQ and dashboard totals reconcile to the same cost position.
Your estimate is a working
document, not a PDF.
Every full estimate lands as a working document you keep — edit it, refresh it and send the trade packages. The live dashboard stays connected to the cost position for the job.

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.
- +Architectural plans are required — energy compliance recommended for best results
- +Structural, electrical, hydraulic and landscape docs improve completeness
- +Current market-based costing is included in the delivered output
- +Lockup and fitout staging support progress-claim planning
- +Workbook rates remain editable for builder-specific pricing
- +Provisional sums and RFIs make documentation gaps visible
- +Customer rate profiles let builders bring their own market knowledge — your rates override our base card while the measured quantities from the plans stay locked
