We encourage every prospective member to book a 60-minute demonstration. During this session we'll walk you through the platform using a real project that you already know the construction cost of, so you can test estimating accuracy on real-world work.
"One builder provided us with a project valued at approximately $2.8M. We completed the estimate in under 30 minutes — remarkably close to the builder's final construction cost."

Real stories from Australian builders
With consistent feedback from members, you're hearing real-time stories from the field.
"We got onto Estimating Online months ago to streamline the process of supplying detailed QBE reports to potential clients. It has saved us so many hours which has allowed us to communicate efficiently with clients."
"I've been using Estimating Online for renovations and extensions at Blackwell Construction. By my third go I felt like I'd been using it for years. What blew me away was how quickly I could generate accurate estimates without sinking hours into it."
"We've been using Estimating Online to speed up our early-stage estimating process, and it's been a really effective way to qualify leads quickly. The platform helps ensure a client's budget is aligned with project scope before too much time is invested."
"Been using Estimating Online for a while now and it's been a game changer in pre-con. It's helped us qualify clients early and make sure everyone's on the same page with budget before diving too deep."
"Estimating Online has completely transformed how we approach early feasibility and client transparency. One of the biggest hurdles in pre-construction is aligning a client's budget with their vision — and this tool makes that step incredibly efficient."
"Great product and it's easy to see why. Rick has access to a huge database of rates and previous projects. This is going to change things for the better. Stoked with the service and product — easy to use and very accurate."
Common questions builders ask
Everything you need to know about memberships, accuracy, integrations and support.
Each construction recipe is developed using practical, real-world experience drawn directly from the Australian building industry. These aren't generic templates — they reflect how projects are actually designed and built on-site, taking into account local standards, materials and structural requirements.
We provide a comprehensive eight-level cost database that gives builders complete control and visibility over pricing, breaking costs from high-level project allowances down to materials, labour, plant and subcontractors. Drill into every cost element and adjust based on market changes, supplier rates or project-specific needs.
Our estimates export in formats compatible with leading platforms including Jackapp, Buildern, Wunderbuild, Buildertrend and Buildxact. This eliminates manual re-entry and lets you move from pricing and planning through to execution with data integrity across every stage.
The system includes preset margin guides based on cost ranges as a reliable starting point, plus a fully adjustable margin feature for each individual estimate. Fine-tune profitability project-by-project based on complexity, risk, client expectations or market conditions.
Unlimited assistance is available during standard business hours (8 am to 5 pm), with after-hours support often available until 10 pm. Book video screen-share sessions for hands-on guidance and access unlimited training sessions tailored to your needs.
The bill of quantities includes a feature that resets all existing costings to $0 so you can add a single line item representing the full construction quote. Ideal for consolidated all-in-one quotes while preserving the ability to drill back into detailed line items if required.
