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.

Ryan — Builder
★★★★★

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.

Doug — Blackwell Construction
★★★★★

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.

Sean — Builder
★★★★★

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. Cuts out a lot of the back and forth.

Adam — Builder
★★★★★

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.

Michael — Builder
★★★★★

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

Does Estimating Online support Australian Construction cost structures?? +
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.
How accurate and customizable are cost estimation templates?? +
We provide a comprehensive eight-level cost database that gives builders complete control and visibility over their pricing, breaking costs down from high-level project allowances to detailed components such as materials, labour, plant, and subcontractors. This structured approach allows users to drill into every cost element, making it easy to adjust pricing based on market changes, supplier rates, or project-specific needs while maintaining full transparency and accuracy. By enabling seamless movement from conceptual estimates to detailed takeoffs, the system ensures consistency, flexibility, and confidence in every stage of the build
Does Estimating Online integrate with Builders Project Management Sytems? +
Our estimates are designed for seamless integration into your existing workflow, with immediate export available in formats compatible with leading construction and project management platforms such as Jackapp, Buildern, Wunderbuild, Buildertrend, and Buildxact. This ensures that once your estimate is complete, it can be quickly transferred into your preferred system without the need for manual re-entry, reducing errors and saving valuable time. By supporting widely used platforms, our system enables smooth collaboration between estimating, project management, and on-site teams, allowing builders to move efficiently from pricing and planning through to execution while maintaining consistency and data integrity across every stage of the project lifecycle.
Can I set different margins for different cost centers? +
While the system includes preset margin guides based on cost ranges to provide a reliable starting point, it also offers a fully adjustable margin feature for each individual estimate, giving builders the flexibility to fine-tune profitability on a project-by-project basis. This means you can easily adapt your margins to reflect factors such as project complexity, risk level, client expectations, or current market conditions, rather than being locked into a fixed structure. By combining intelligent default recommendations with the ability to customise margins at any stage, the system ensures both consistency in pricing strategy and the freedom to make strategic decisions that align with your business goals.
What is the support like? +
We provide comprehensive, ongoing support to ensure you get the most out of the system, with unlimited assistance available during standard business hours from 8 am to 5 pm. Beyond this, our team is often accessible for after-hours support until 10 pm, giving you added flexibility when working to tight deadlines or outside typical schedules. To further enhance your experience, you can book video screen-share sessions for hands-on guidance, troubleshooting, or personalised walkthroughs, as well as access unlimited training sessions tailored to your needs. This combination of responsive support and continuous learning ensures you always have the help and expertise required to work efficiently and confidently.
How does Estimating Online manage subcontractor quotes?? +
We’ve enhanced the bill of quantities with a powerful new feature that allows you to reset all existing costings to $0, providing a clean slate for streamlined estimates. Once the costings are reset, you can easily add a single line item that represents the full construction quote, simplifying your estimate for high-level budgeting or client presentations. To maintain clarity and prevent accidental changes, we recommend locking the heading after completing this step, ensuring that your consolidated figure remains secure and clearly distinguished from other items. This feature is ideal for scenarios where a comprehensive, all-in-one quote is needed, while still preserving the ability to drill back into detailed line items if required.
