Everything you need to produce accurate, consistent estimates

Built for speed and reliability, focused on the estimator’s daily workflow.

Bulk client import

Import clients and contacts in one go to get started quickly.

Custom categories

Create your own estimate categories that match your scope.

Bulk product/scope upload

Load products/scope into categories and keep purchase pricing current.

Quick pricing updates

Adjust purchase prices and markups in seconds. Manually override pricing if needed.

Custom letterhead

Upload logo, set company details and generate PDFs on your branded letterhead.

Inline editing

Edit quantities, pricing, markups and notes inline within one table.

The spreadsheet problem

Spreadsheets are flexible, but that flexibility introduces hidden errors that cost time, margin, and confidence.

  • ✕ Broken calculations: formulas are easily overwritten when rows are copied or moved.
  • ✕ Inconsistent data: old rates, mismatched markups, or missing line items.
  • ✕ Version confusion: multiple files across emails, folders, and shared drives.
  • ✕ No safeguards: anyone can change anything, often without visibility or traceability.

How estimator.software reduces risk

Structured where it matters, so your estimates remain accurate, consistent, and controlled.

  • ✔ Protected calculations: totals, markups, and summaries stay intact.
  • ✔ Built-in validation: required fields, quantities, and pricing are checked automatically.
  • ✔ Centralised pricing: products and rates are maintained once and reused everywhere.
  • ✔ Live calculations: totals update instantly as you work.
  • ✔ Revision history: clear tracking of changes and issued submissions.
  • ✔ Consistent output: professional, branded PDFs every time.

How it works

Step 1

Get started with the setup wizard

When you first sign up, the guided setup wizard walks you through the essentials — setting your company details, uploading a logo, and adding your first clients, categories and products.

Step 2

Build and price your estimate

Enter quantities and scope into spreadsheet-style tables. Update purchase pricing, apply markups on materials, or use $/m² rates where helpful. Live totals keep everything in check as you go.

Step 3

Generate your submission

Once the estimate is locked, select your templates for tender letters, terms, and inclusions. Export a polished PDF on your letterhead, ready to send to your client.
