Why builders use it

Measurement, not interpolation

01

Hours, not weeks

Plans in, structured takeoff out in under 3 hours on typical residential jobs. No quote queue. No three-week wait.

02

Measured off your drawings

Quantities derived from the supplied PDFs, not interpolated from job size. Audit trail per line.

03

Trade-organised + tender-ready

Output structured by trade so your subbies can quote directly off the same data set.

The deliverable

What you actually get

The deliverable is a structured Excel workbook organised by trade — every line measured off your plans with the methodology disclosed. Built to drop straight into your existing pricing or subcontractor packaging workflow.

  • Per-trade quantity schedule (m³, m², lm, no., kg as appropriate)
  • Measurement methodology notes per line, with assumptions called out explicitly
  • Status flags per item — measured / assumed / requires consultant input
  • Compatible with downstream BOQ workflows (your own or ours)
  • Editable Excel workbook format
EstiFlow trade-organised takeoff workbook
Off your actual drawings

Every quantity traces back to a line on the plan.

We measure off the supplied PDFs — never scaled from a per-square-metre rule of thumb. Anything that needs consultant detail is flagged as an assumption rather than silently estimated, so you always know what is measured and what still needs confirming.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you need construction-ready drawings?

No — DA-stage architectural plans are enough to begin. Items requiring consultant detail are flagged as assumptions, not silently estimated.

How is this different from doing it in-house?

Same output, faster turnaround, with no internal estimator headcount required. You keep the relationships with subbies; we handle the measurement workload.

Do you cover prelims and external works?

Yes — every cost category is measured: prelims, external works, services, structure, finishes. Nothing hidden.

Can you integrate with my existing BOQ format?

Yes. If you already use a specific cost-code structure or trade taxonomy, we adopt it. The takeoff output mirrors your conventions.

What is the turnaround for a typical single-dwelling or townhouse takeoff?

Usually returned in under 3 hours for a single dwelling. 24-48 hours for multi-unit or complex projects depending on document readiness.

What does it cost?

Standard residential from $499. Duplex from $599. Townhouse / multi-unit pricing on request. The price includes the cost-estimate report and subcontractor packs alongside the takeoff itself.

Money-back guarantee

Not useful? Full refund on your first estimate.

If your first EstiFlow estimate is not useful, we refund it in full — no questions asked. Per job, no subscription, no lock-in.
