Platform capabilities

Built for the way estimators work

Every quantity starts on a drawing. We keep the link between the measurement, its unit and its source sheet, so the estimate can be checked line by line.

  • AI-Assisted Drawing Intelligence

    Helps identify elements and information on construction drawings, for the estimator to check — never a final answer on its own.

  • Structured quantification

    Quantities carry their units, element references and the drawing they were measured from.

  • Controlled calculation

    Explicit quantities, units and controlled rates, with the calculation inputs kept visible.

  • Human review

    A professional estimator reviews every output before it is issued.

Services

Seven estimating services, one structured method

From the first measured quantity to a tender-ready estimate, each service follows the same drawing-to-review workflow.

  1. Quantity Takeoff

    Quantities measured from drawings and specifications, organised by element with units and drawing references.

    Typical output: Quantity schedule

  2. BOQ Preparation

    Bills of Quantities structured into work sections, with clear item descriptions, units and quantities.

    Typical output: Bill of Quantities

  3. Construction Cost Estimating

    Cost estimates built up from measured quantities and explicit rates, with the calculation inputs kept visible for review.

    Typical output: Cost estimate

  4. Commercial Estimating

    Estimating for commercial building projects, structured by trade and work section.

    Typical output: Trade-structured estimate

  5. Material Takeoff

    Material schedules derived from the drawings, listing each material with its unit and quantity.

    Typical output: Material schedule

  6. Specialist Estimating

    Estimating for specialist trades and packages that need discipline-specific measurement.

    Typical output: Package estimate

  7. Tender Estimating

    Quantities and estimates prepared to support tender submissions, with scope assumptions recorded.

    Typical output: Tender estimate pack

How it works

From drawings to a reviewed estimate

Six stages, in a fixed order. Technology assists the early stages; an estimator is responsible for the result.

  1. 01

    Drawing

    Drawings, specifications and tender documents are received and registered against the project.

  2. 02

    Intelligence

    AI-Assisted Drawing Intelligence highlights elements and information for the estimator to verify.

  3. 03

    Takeoff

    Quantities are measured with units and drawing references.

  4. 04

    BOQ

    Measured items are organised into a structured bill of quantities.

  5. 05

    Estimate

    Explicit, controlled rates are applied to the measured quantities.

  6. 06

    Review

    An estimator reviews the result for context and completeness before issue.

Why Estimators Club

Technology that supports the estimator — not one that replaces them

AI-assisted, not autonomous

Drawing intelligence supports the estimator. It does not replace professional judgement.

Human reviewed

Outputs are reviewed by an estimator for context, scope and completeness.

Structured

Quantities, calculations and estimate structure are organised consistently.

Traceable

Each figure can be followed back to its quantity, unit and source drawing.

Project types

  • Residential
  • Commercial
  • Industrial
  • Healthcare
  • Education
  • Hospitality

Residential, commercial and institutional buildings, measured from the project's own drawings and specifications.
