What we do
Your Own In-House Estimator
Welcome to Cost Estimator, we decided to build our unique estimating software solution to help builders like you work better and have better control over your quoting, especially if you outsource the estimating side of things.
Having tried lots of estimating systems over the years we found that none of them solved the problem:
If you estimate yourself it takes up valuable time, better spent elsewhere but if you outsource the estimating you lose complete oversight of what has/hasn’t been included.
Our aim is to solve that problem:
Cost Estimator is fully collaborative.
- Upload your plans to us and we’ll price it up for you. Access our software to tweak labour and material rates to suit your business.
- Price a job for yourself.
- Or Start pricing a job and hand it over to us to complete for you, if you find you’re needed elsewhere.
Have all the benefits of having an in house estimator without the need to add another person to the payroll.
We hope you find this useful and feel free to book a short demonstration where we can show you around the software and help get you setup pricing your first job or simply upload your plans for us to estimate and we’ll get you booked in.
