Two ways in. One set of your prices.

Whether you measure it yourself or get sent the plans, the numbers run through your own packages and your own prices.

ON SITE
Measure it. Price it. Send it.
Walk the job, type the sizes as you go, and the quote is ready before you're back in the ute.
  • ✓Your trade rules work out the materials
  • ✓Site questions catch what costs money: access, slope, scaffold
  • ✓Your client gets a professional quote, not a scribbled total
FROM PLANS
Upload the plans. Check the numbers. Send the quote.
Tick the scopes you quote and the Plan Reader goes through the whole plan set for just those parts. You check the numbers on the drawing and quote.
  • ✓Every number shown on the drawing, with the page it came from
  • ✓Nothing guessed: if a size isn't written, it tells you
  • ✓Made for proper construction plans, decks to full houses

THE PLAN READER COMING SOON

Takeoffs from plans you can actually check.

Upload the full plan set as one PDF and tick the scopes you quote: the deck, the cladding, the plastering, whatever your trade. The Plan Reader reads every sheet for just those parts and shows you exactly where every measurement came from. You stay in charge: accept it, fix it, or measure it by hand.

See it on your plans
  • ✓Only the scopes you quoteTick deck, cladding or plastering, and it reads the floor plans, elevations, sections and schedules for just those parts.
  • ✓Every number traced to the drawingSee the dimension line it used and the page it came from.
  • ✓It never guessesIf a size isn't written on the plan, it says so and asks you.
  • ✓Existing work left outExisting decks, patios and sheds aren't counted in your quote.
  • ✓Nothing falls off the quoteSteel beams and other items your packages don't cover are flagged until you price them.
  • ✓Straight with you about the planConcept plan or poorly drawn? It tells you what it can't read, so you measure those parts by hand.

How Estimatey compares

Talk-to-it quoting apps guess from what you tell them. Big builder software does everything, at a price, with weeks of setup. Estimatey does the estimating, properly, for the trades.

General comparison by type of software, not any one product. Estimatey and the Plan Reader are coming soon.

FROM SOLO TO BUSINESS

Price it properly. Win the job.
Know you're not losing money.

Knowing how to price is the hardest part of going out on your own. Estimatey gives you the confidence to quote right from your first job, and grows with you when you take on a crew.

Don't pay big builder prices just to quote properly. We estimate you'll pay a lot less.

  • ✓Top up any time if you need more
  • ✓Quotes go straight into Xero as invoices

Simple on top. Smart underneath.

Your prices, not ours
No preset prices. Enter what you pay, per metre, per length or per box, and Estimatey works out how much you need and what it costs.
It shows the working out
Tap any line to see how it was worked out. If something changes, it tells you the quote is out of date.
The mentor in your pocket
Quick site questions for the things that cost money, so the job you quote is the job you build.
A quote your client says yes to
What's included and one total. They accept online, and it becomes an official quote and invoice.

Set up in minutes.

Your trade's items are already listed. Tick what you use and type what you pay. Prices change? Update once.
