Select from 100s of pre-loaded templates
EstimatorXpress gives you a head start
- Simply identify the closest match for your garage, renovation, extension or new build
- There are also countless permutations of roofs, wall finishes, floors and internal fitting out.
- Each template is pre-loaded with data appropriate to the job
- Such as the materials, labour, plant and their associated prices per unit plus wear and tear, wastage…
- All that’s missing are your own dimensions and material preferences
2
Enter your dimensions and choose your material preferences
The software gives you the project cost live as you go
- Everything typically required for a building project has been thought of
- So each wall for instance has already been assigned the bricks, insulation, plasterboard, plaster, nails, paint, the time it will take, etc.
- You enter your dims and tweak your specification and resources, scrolling down the one screen, build phase by build phase
- The software’s calculators get to work as you personalise the job, adding up the costs in real time
- And as you select specific products from the huge library of materials it revises the costs in seconds
- That’s it. A professional estimate in minutes not hours.

- You can easily navigate the individual phases of a job to review and edit as required
- Check on status, overall cost, profit and price to the customer
- Think that’s good? Well there are a load more valuable reports produced as a matter of course to help you manage your business better
- For instance the project’s schedule build program is automatically created based on the information collected by the software
- Then there’s the materials list, labour schedule, cash flow analysis, and so on…
- Once you’re happy it’s time for your quote
