Frequently Asked Questions
What does a building estimator do?
A building estimator measures the plans, lists what the project needs, and prices it, so a builder or trade can quote, tender or budget.
Can you estimate from PDF plans?
Yes. Send PDF or CAD plans and we will do the takeoff from them.
Can you price just one trade?
Yes. Many clients send plans for one trade, such as concrete, roofing or plumbing.
How much does an estimate cost?
It depends on the size and detail of the project. We quote after we see your plans, and the quote is free. See how our estimating prices work.
How long does an estimate take?
Most residential estimates take 1 to 3 business days. Larger or more complex projects take longer, and we confirm the timeframe in your quote before work starts.
Do you work outside Queensland?
Yes. Our office is in Palmview, Queensland, and we work with clients in every state and territory by email and phone.
