What you get

No more guessing. Everything is accounted for.

This is a working estimating system, not a price list. Every job is priced the same way from the same builds: your wholesaler’s costs, install time on every line, your rate and your margin. The pipe, the fixings and the labour are in the price every time, so you know you’re making money on the job.

01

The builds

190+ assemblies, each priced as one line: the unit, the pipe, the cable, the fixings and the labour to put it in.

02

Your wholesaler's pricing

Where your software already holds your wholesaler's price for an item, the builds use it. Everything else carries a real trade cost you can edit.

03

Your software

Set up by us in your job management and take off software. There is nothing for you to import or map.

04

One way of pricing

Every job is priced from the same builds, so whoever does the quote gets the same number and nothing is left out.

Questions

Before you buy.

What's a prebuild?+

An assembly priced as one line: the unit, the pipe, the cable, the fixings and the labour to put it in. You take off a split system, not twelve separate parts.

Will the prices match my supplier?+

Where your software already holds your wholesaler's price for an item, we set the build up on that price. Anything it doesn't hold carries a current supplier price, and every cost is editable.

How does the labour work?+

Every item carries install time in minutes. You set your own hourly rate and margin, and the sell price works itself out.

Which software does it work with?+

Any job management or take off software that imports a price list. Give us your software login straight after checkout and we load it for you within 2 business days.

We do electrical as well. Is there a price for both?+

Yes. Both kits together are $2,700 inc GST, which is $300 less than buying them separately.

I already have the electrical kit. What do I pay?+

$900 inc GST. Sign in to your account and the owner's price is there.

Are chillers, AHUs and VRF units priced?+

They're in the builds as line items with the labour to install them, but the cost is left for you to enter, because big plant is quoted per job. The same goes for anything else priced per project, like fabricated duct and the power to large plant.

Does the price include GST?+

Yes. $1,200 includes GST. One payment, no subscription.

Something else?+

Email niall@theestimatingcollective.com and you'll get an answer from Niall, not a ticket number.
