Residential A$399 incl. GST. Commercial A$999 incl. GST.

Start this Civil pack

Choose the Civil package you need priced. It can be the complete civil works, the earthworks, the drainage, the pavements and roadworks, or another defined Civil package. We measure the documented work, trace every quantity to the drawing it came from and price it line by line. The estimate is of the design you supply. It is not a civil design.

What one Civil package can include

Site preparation and earthworks

Clearing, stripping, cut and fill, excavation, rock, stockpiles, imported material, compaction, spoil haulage and disposal, and reinstatement. Natural, loose and compacted volumes are kept apart, with any density or bulking assumption stated.

Drainage and water management

Stormwater pipes, pits, culverts, headwalls, detention and OSD, tanks, subsoil drainage, and erosion and sediment controls where included. Lengths, sizes, levels, trench depths, bedding, backfill and testing are traced to the documents.

Pavements and external hardworks

Roads, driveways, hardstands, pavement layers, kerbs, gutters, paths and crossings. Areas, layer thicknesses and materials are kept, with the demolition and reinstatement boundaries.

External services and structures

Sewer and water reticulation, service trenches, pits and ducts, and retaining or ancillary civil structures where your package includes them. Interfaces with plumbing, electrical, structural and landscape work are named.

Delivery obligations

Access, traffic management, temporary works, dewatering, staging, protection, survey and set out, testing and authority interfaces, where the documents require them. Whole project preliminaries are not added by default.

You receive: a cost report for the Civil package with clear work group totals and source references, an editable bill of quantities with the Measurement Schedule, and a rate-free subcontractor pricing workbook.

Suited to: civil contractors pricing tenders, builders scoping the civil package, and developers checking civil costs before tender.

What to send: civil and site plans, survey and levels, long sections, drainage schedules, typical sections, specifications and geotechnical information. PDF, IFC, DWG, SketchUp and LandXML files are all accepted.

Quantities are traced to the documents you supply. What the documents do not settle is identified, never invented.

Work by others and site conditions the documents do not confirm are named in the pack, with who owns each interface and whether it is included, excluded, separately priced or provisional.

We price the documented design. We do not produce a civil design, a geotechnical classification, a contamination result, a connection capacity or missing levels.

Planting and irrigation, building foundations, specialist piling, internal building services and authority charges are not added just because Civil is chosen. They are not left out when your tender includes them either.

We stand behind your first estimate.

If your first paid estimate isn’t useful, email us within seven calendar days of delivery with your job reference for a full refund. Read the money-back guarantee.

Our public example is a landscape package, not a Civil job. It includes the 19-page report, matching BOQ and subcontractor pricing workbook, and shows the depth of a trade estimate. Your Civil pack addresses its own scope and project conditions.

There is no published Civil customer sample yet. The synthetic Civil demonstration shows how Civil quantities, source references and scope boundaries are presented. It is made up for demonstration and is not a customer job.

Before you order.

Is a large civil or infrastructure project quoted separately?

No. A Commercial Trade Estimate Pack covers the commissioned Civil package on a project of any size, at the published fee. A request to price the whole project, every trade, is a full estimate with its own tiers.

What if my documents do not show levels or geotechnical information?

Quantities are traced to the documents you supply. What the documents do not settle is identified, never invented. Missing specialist input is listed as a question or a provisional item. It does not stop a valid order.

Can I price only the drainage?

Yes. Choose the drainage package and say what is excluded. Planting, landscaping and other site work stay outside the price unless you include them.

What can I upload?

Send your civil and site plans, survey and levels, long sections, drainage schedules, typical sections, specifications and any geotechnical report. PDF, IFC, DWG, SketchUp and LandXML files are all accepted.
