What we work from

Send What You Have

Most trade estimates start with PDF drawings and a short note of the trades you are pricing. If anything is missing, we will tell you before work begins. Standard estimates are typically delivered within 48 hours; for larger projects we confirm the delivery date after reviewing the scope.

  • 01

    Drawings

    Architectural, structural and services drawings (electrical, plumbing and mechanical) — PDF sets or DWG/DXF CAD files.

  • 02

    Specifications & schedules

    Roofing and cladding systems, finishes, fixture and light fitting schedules — anything that defines quality and scope.

  • 03

    Scope of work

    Which trades or packages you are pricing — or the whole building — and to what level of detail.

  • 04

    Tender documents

    Tender or quote conditions, addenda, pricing schedules and submission requirements.

  • 05

    Your preferences

    Measurement method, units, currency, rates, templates and the deadline you are working to.

  • 06

    Survey & levels

    For civil and earthworks jobs only: survey data, LandXML surfaces, design levels, sections and geotechnical reports.
