Perth's Local Concrete Estimating Service
We price residential slabs, exposed-aggregate driveways, footpaths and footings every week. Not off a rate card from the east coast - off the WA supply rates, local subcontractor prices, and council requirements we work with every day.
Send us your plans and we will check the scale, query any discrepancies, and get a colour-coded markup with a priced spreadsheet back to you - usually within 24 hours on residential jobs.
How It Works
A straightforward six-step process. Most residential jobs are turned around within 24 hours of sending plans. Commercial and tender work takes longer - we will confirm the timeline before we start.
- 01
Send Your Plans
Email us your drawings, council-approved plans, or even a sketch. Any format works - PDF, DWG, or photos of hand-drawn plans.
- 02
We Check Scale and Query Discrepancies
Before we touch a number, we verify the plan scale, check for conflicting dimensions, and ask any questions that could affect the price. No guessing.
- 03
Colour-Coded Markup and Legend
We mark up your plans with a colour-coded takeoff by trade and element. Every line is referenced in the accompanying legend so you can follow every figure.
- 04
Priced Spreadsheet or Bill of Quantities
A clean spreadsheet with quantities, units, real WA rates and totals by trade. Format it the way your subbies expect - or we use a standard BoQ if you prefer.
- 05
Draft for Review
We send the draft first. You review, ask questions, or flag anything we may have missed. Most residential clients need one round of clarification at most.
- 06
Final Estimate Delivered
Confirmed estimate issued with a clear scope of works. Use it to price your tender, lock in subbies, or present to your client with confidence.
Concrete Volume Calculator
Need a rough concrete volume for a slab, footing or driveway? Our free calculator gives you a starting figure in seconds. For a priced estimate with real WA rates, send us your plans.
Why Perth Builders Choose a Local Estimator
The national takeoff platforms and offshore estimating services look cheap until you realise their WA rates are six months out of date, their turnaround is a week, and there is nobody to call when something does not add up.
Perth's local construction and concrete estimating service, with detailed takeoffs and estimates for concreters and builders who would rather be on the tools than pricing jobs at night.
WA Supply Rates, Not East Coast Rates
We price against the suppliers, hire companies and subbies Perth builders actually use. A rate card built on Sydney or Melbourne figures is useless here.
24-Hour Turnaround on Most Residential Jobs
Plans in by 5pm, estimate back the following morning on most residential work. No multi-week queues, no offshore delays.
Honest Go or No-Go Advice
If a job does not look worth chasing at the numbers, we will say so. Better to know before you spend two days on a tender you cannot win.
$1M Professional Indemnity Insurance
Our estimates are backed by professional indemnity insurance. You have recourse if a number is demonstrably wrong - not just a handshake.

Common Questions
Straight answers to the questions we get asked most.
Construction estimating is the process of working out the quantities of materials and labour required to complete a building project, then pricing those quantities using current market rates. A good estimate breaks the job into trades, applies realistic WA supply and labour rates, and produces a document your subbies and suppliers can quote against.
Your first estimate is free. After that, pricing depends on the scope - a simple residential slab takeoff costs less than a full commercial tender estimate. We quote a fixed fee upfront before we start, so there are no surprises when the estimate lands.
Most residential jobs come back within 24 hours of us receiving your plans. Commercial and tender work takes longer depending on the number of trades involved. We will confirm the turnaround time before we start - and we stick to it.
Both. We work with concreters, bricklayers, plasterers, tilers, painters and earthmovers as well as residential and commercial head contractors. If you are pricing work and need quantities fast, we can help.
