Why builders hand it over
You pay for the finished takeoff, not the hours or the software.
Measuring is the part of estimating that eats nights and weekends, and the part where a missed wet area or void quietly takes the margin. We take that whole job off your desk and hand back something you can price from.
Numbers you can stand behind
Every line shows the drawing sheet it came from and any assumption behind it, and our estimators check every line before it reaches you.
The easy-to-miss items, caught
Wet areas, voids, bulkheads, curved walls, openings from the door and window schedule, reveals and architraves — measured, or raised with you as a question. Not guessed.
Agreed before we start
Scope, fee and delivery date in writing before any work. No subscription, nothing to install, no lock-in.
Questions, not surprises
Assumptions and open questions listed with the quantities, ready for your clarifications to the client before the price goes out.
Revisions without starting again
New revision? We show what changed, line by line and room by room — the evidence for a variation.
Your options

| Checked by | Nobody, usually | Depends on the person | Our estimators, every line |
| What you pay for | Your hours | A wage, or hours billed | A fee per package, quoted in writing first |
| Busy weeks | Something else slips | Leave, workload and turnover | Date agreed before we start |

Common questions
Before you send a job.
Who checks the quantities?
Our estimators. Every line is checked against your drawings before the package reaches you, and every line shows the sheet it was measured from and any assumption behind it.
Do I need any software?
No. You send drawings and get a finished package back: a workbook that opens in Excel, plus the assumptions and open questions. Nothing to install, no subscription, no training.
What do you measure today?
Residential plasterboard and painting in Queensland: walls and ceilings by board type (including water-resistant board in wet areas), openings from the door and window schedule, voids, square set or cornice, window reveals and door architraves, and paint areas. Other trades or states: ask us, and we will say before any fee whether we can do it properly.
What drawings do you need?
CAD-exported (vector) PDF plans for each level, sections or elevations that show ceiling heights, and the door and window schedule. A reflected ceiling plan helps where there are bulkheads or voids. Scanned drawings: ask us first.
How much does it cost?
A fee per package, quoted in writing for the confirmed scope before any work starts. No subscription and no lock-in. Founding builders keep their founding price for 12 months.
