Construction Estimating Across Australia

Every estimate structured two ways: by trade for tendering and by element for early budgets

Australian estimating works in two languages. Detailed tenders and bills of quantities follow the trade sections of the ASMM / ANZSMM, while early cost plans and budgets follow the NPWC / AIQS elements. A good estimate speaks both.

Prime Estimation prepares every estimate in metric, structured to the trade sections or the elements you need, and delivers it in 24 to 48 hours from digital drawings, so one set of quantities serves your tender, your budget and your cost control.
