FAQ

1. How does your service work?

We prepare BOQ and estimates for complete construction projects in residential, commercial, industrial for builders and contractors who don’t have the time or resources to hire a full-time estimator.

2. What information do you give me?

We send a fully detailed BOQ and cost plan with rates included and every trade broken up into individual components, we also measure and price preliminaries and include site management, insurances, site amenities and profit margins.

Although we put on our ‘builders hat’ when pricing tenders we strongly encourage you to review the cost plan prior to submission.

3. If I want to edit the information, can I?

Yes, with every tender we send the excel spreadsheets so you can adjust individual rates or quantities should you wish.

4. Do you price all jobs yourself or is your team overseas?

We price all tenders in-house by ourselves and rarely use external contractors to price, on the odd occasion we do it would be a highly experienced specialist with suitable experience and based in Australia.

5. How do you determine your fee to estimate?

We review the plans, the size, the complexity, the amount of drawings are some factors which determine our fee.
