A second set of eyes
Another estimator goes through each estimate, looking at the quantities, formulas and totals. When their numbers differ noticeably from the first, we recheck the whole thing.
Why We Exist
Rushed Numbers Cost Good Builders Their Profit
For most builders, money is lost in the estimate and not in the building. A late-night takeoff done to meet a deadline, a national average used instead of a local price, or an exclusion nobody recorded can each cost you the job or the profit.
We started Prime Estimation to solve this. Builders can use us as their own estimating department when they need one, with experienced estimators, professional takeoff software and current cost data, and without paying for salaries, licences or overheads.
- Measured, not guessed. Quantities are taken directly from your drawings and sorted into ASMM / ANZSMM trade sections.
- Priced where you build. Material and labour prices are set for the project postcode each time.
- Written down. Every estimate includes a page of assumptions and exclusions, which helps you explain your price when the scope is reviewed.
