Why EstiFlow

What makes the output different

Professional-grade output, authored not templated — built around how builders actually price work.

A DA-stage architectural plan measured by EstiFlow
01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.

What you receive

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.

Cost Estimate ReportPDF · 15+ sections

Cost 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.

Editable BOQ workbookXLSX · 200+ line items

Editable BOQ workbook

Every line item laid out in a builder-friendly workbook so your team can review, update and reuse it.

Subcontractor pricing packsXLSX · per trade

Subcontractor 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.

Inside every full estimate

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.

Estimate transparency

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.

Proof

The standard, in numbers.

200+

Fully-cited lines per estimate — every line traced to a source document.

To the cent

The report, BOQ and dashboard totals reconcile to the same cost position.

Your living estimate

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.

  • Edit any line

    Quantities, rates, margin, supervision — adjust them in the live workbook and watch the totals recompute through the same engine that built the estimate.

  • Refresh the full report — A$69

    Changed the scope? One click re-authors the entire pack against your edited numbers: cost report, workbook, trade packages — synchronized, in minutes.

  • Every version kept

    Each edit and refresh becomes a new revision. The original stays downloadable forever. Nothing is overwritten, nothing is lost.

  • Trade packages included

    Procurement-ready trade breakdowns you can send straight to subcontractors for pricing.

Accuracy

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
