Documentation requirements
EstiFlow needs the same thing a human estimator needs: solid documentation. The better the plan pack, the tighter the estimate.
Required
- DA-stage architectural plans (full set)
- NatHERS energy compliance assessment
Recommended
- Structural drawings — footings, slab sections, framing layouts
- Geotechnical report — soil classification, bearing capacity, site class
Further tightens pricing
- Electrical plans — lighting, GPOs, switchboard, smoke alarms, solar PV
- Hydraulic and plumbing plans — fixtures, hot water, gas
- Mechanical and HVAC plans — ducted, split systems, ventilation
- Stormwater and civil plans — OSD, rainwater, drainage, driveway
- Landscape plans — planting schedules, turf, paving, fencing, irrigation
- Joinery and kitchen plans — cabinetry, benchtops, wardrobes
- Door, window, and finishes schedules
- Cladding and external finishes specifications
- Fire engineering, acoustic, and BASIX certificates
- Pool, lift, and other specialty system drawings

Frequently asked questions
What plans do I need to upload?
DA-stage architectural plans and a NatHERS energy compliance assessment are required. Structural drawings and geotechnical reports are strongly recommended. Electrical, hydraulic, mechanical, stormwater, landscape, joinery, finishes schedules, and cladding specifications further tighten pricing — exactly as they would with a human estimator.
How accurate are the estimates?
Every measurement is taken directly from your supplied plans — not templates or benchmarks. Rates are sourced from established Australian construction cost references, updated quarterly. EstiFlow is designed as a preliminary commercial estimate. We recommend using it alongside your own QS for formal contracts.
How long does it take?
Most reports are ready within 30 minutes of payment. Complex multi-level projects may take longer. You'll receive an email notification when the report and workbook are ready to review.
What do I receive?
You receive a 15-section estimate report (PDF) with commercial snapshot, project narrative, decisions register, value engineering analysis, construction risk register, DA and council cost estimate, and bank finance summary. A costed BOQ workbook (XLSX) with 27 sheets, hundreds of line items, and indicative construction programme. Subcontractor pricing packs (XLSX) with one sheet per major trade — ready to send directly to your subbies.
What project types are supported?
Granny flats, single dwellings, and duplex new-build residential projects across Australia. DA-ready documentation is required. For multi-dwelling projects beyond duplex, contact us.
What file formats do you accept?
We accept PDF, JPG, PNG, TIFF, DOCX, and XLSX files. Non-PDF files are automatically converted before processing. Maximum file size is 50MB per file.
Can I get a refund?
If our system fails to produce a report, you receive an automatic full refund. If you believe the output has material errors, you can submit a dispute for review. No refunds for change of mind once processing begins. See our full Refund Policy for details.
Do I need a subscription?
No. EstiFlow is pay-per-job. No subscriptions, no lock-in contracts. Pay only when you need an estimate.
What determines the cost?
Pricing is based on project scope: granny flats are $499, single dwellings are $899, and duplexes are $1,199, all GST inclusive. Every job includes a 15-section estimate report, costed BOQ workbook, indicative construction programme, subcontractor pricing packs, and intelligence reports covering value engineering, construction risk, DA costs, and bank finance.
Can I adjust the rates in the report?
Yes. You can edit any rate or quantity directly in your browser — the entire estimate recalculates live. Adjust your builder margin percentage, toggle site supervision on or off, then regenerate all three deliverables (PDF, BOQ, Subbie Packs) with your custom rates. You can also save your rate preferences to a profile that automatically applies to every future job.
