How it works

You agree the scope. We deliver the checked takeoff.

No extra hire and nothing to chase. We measure from your drawings, our estimators check every line, and anything the drawings don’t answer comes back to you as a question — not a guess.

Step by step

From your request to a package you can price from.

  1. You

    Request

    Trade, deadline and a short description. No drawings on the website.

  2. Avo

    Scope review

    We read it, ask for the drawings through a secure link and check they are enough for the scope.

  3. Avo, then you

    Written confirmation

    Inclusions, exclusions, deliverable, format, fee and date. You accept, change or decline.

  4. Avo

    Measure and check

    Measured from the drawings, then checked line by line by our estimators. Questions come back to you.

  5. Avo

    Delivery

    The package in the agreed format, ready for your estimate.

On your drawings

What we measure, and what we look for.

The items that quietly cost money when they are missed are the ones we look for first.

Walls by board type

Standard, water-resistant in wet areas (bathrooms, ensuites, WCs, laundries), and fire or acoustic board where the drawings call for it.

Ceilings by level

Ceiling areas per room and level, with heights taken from the sections. Raked or bulkhead ceilings are flagged.

Openings from the schedule

Doors and windows read from the door and window schedule and taken off the walls they sit in. Doors with no size get a stated default and a question.

Voids

A void on the upper floor comes off the ceiling below it, placed from the ceiling plan. If the drawings don’t show where, you get a question.

Linear items

Square set or cornice at the wall-to-ceiling junction, window reveals and door architraves, and skirting paint where it is in scope.

Your preferences

Sheet size (6000 × 1200 or 3600 × 1200), cornice or square set, and painting inclusions, set to how you work.

Responsibilities

Clear on both sides.
