Two professional estimating solutions designed to fit different builder needs — from quick cost guides to comprehensive tender-ready reports.
Rapid Pro Estimation
A construction estimate designed for builders who wish to provide homeowners with a construction cost guide. Builders receive an estimate prepared using our proven estimating methodologies, while also having the flexibility to apply their own pricing and estimating strategies within the estimate.
This estimate provides overall construction costs, including trade and supplier totals; however, detailed Bill of Quantities (BOQ), individual trade and supplier breakdowns, and specific construction rates are not displayed.
Elemental Estimate
A comprehensive construction estimate that provides builders with full visibility into the estimating strategies and methodologies used to arrive at the final construction price. This estimate integrates seamlessly with leading construction management platforms, including Jack App, Buildertrend, Wunderbuild, Buildxact, Buildern, and many others.
Builders also have the flexibility to apply and customise their own estimating methodologies, creating a powerful and highly tailored estimating experience unlike anything previously available in the industry. Designed to support client engagement, this estimate enables builders to sit down with homeowners face-to-face, clearly present cost-saving opportunities, compare construction strategies, and build confidence throughout the decision-making process.
This detailed estimate includes individual construction costings, full trade and supplier totals, comprehensive cost breakdowns, and transparent pricing visibility across all aspects of the project.
Accurate, reliable construction estimates.
The result is a professional estimating platform that provides clarity, consistency, and confidence when preparing and presenting construction pricing to your clients.
Review & Analysis
We carefully review your construction plans and project documentation to prepare accurate and reliable construction estimates.
Scope & Elements
Our team analyses the scope of works, identifies all required building elements, and applies industry-based construction rates to develop a comprehensive estimate that supports informed pricing decisions.
Pricing Confidence
Our responsibility is to ensure that all relevant items are captured within the estimate, helping you submit your final construction price with confidence. A clear, structured cost breakdown reduces the risk of omissions and improves pricing accuracy through tendering and quoting.
Trade & Supplier Mapping
We map out the work required for each trade and supplier involved in the project. Your estimate includes a detailed line-by-line breakdown of materials, labour, subcontractor requirements, and trade inclusions.
Gain complete visibility over your construction costs.
Builders who work with Blulevel Estimating gain more than just a final construction price—they gain a detailed understanding of every cost involved in their project.
Our estimating process is designed to provide complete transparency across trades, materials, labour, and supplier costs, allowing builders to make informed decisions with confidence. Rather than relying on assumptions or broad allowances, our estimates provide a structured breakdown of the work required to complete the project.
Each estimate is prepared by carefully reviewing your plans and project documentation to identify all relevant construction elements. We then allocate costs across the various trades and supplier categories, creating a comprehensive estimate that helps you understand exactly where your project budget is being spent.
Detailed Trade Breakdowns
Your estimate will include detailed trade allocations, helping you understand the scope and cost associated with each stage of construction, including:
- Site works
- Concrete and foundations
- Framing and carpentry
- Roofing
- Brickwork and cladding
- Windows and glazing
- Electrical services
- Plumbing services
- Internal finishes
- Painting
- Landscaping
- And all other relevant construction trades
This allows you to engage trades with greater confidence and provides a clear framework for obtaining subcontractor pricing.
Supplier and Material Visibility
Our estimates provide detailed information on the materials and supplier requirements associated with your project. This gives builders greater control over procurement decisions and helps identify opportunities to compare supplier pricing, manage budgets, and maximise project profitability.
Price Projects with Confidence
A well-prepared estimate reduces uncertainty and provides a stronger foundation for quoting and tendering. By understanding the quantities, trade requirements, and associated costs, builders can confidently present construction pricing to homeowners and clients knowing that the project has been thoroughly reviewed.
A Better Way to Estimate
Our goal is to provide builders with the information they need to make informed business decisions. Through accurate estimating, detailed cost breakdowns, and clear reporting, we help builders save time, reduce risk, improve pricing accuracy, and gain greater confidence in every project they undertake.
More than an estimate – a complete digital estimating platform.
When you purchase an estimate through Blulevel Estimating, you're not simply receiving a spreadsheet with a final construction price. You gain access to a powerful digital estimating platform designed to give builders greater control, flexibility, and visibility over their project costs.
Once your estimate has been completed, it is delivered through our web-based estimating application, allowing you to interact with and manage your estimate in ways that traditional spreadsheets simply cannot provide.
- Adjust markups and margins
- Add project-specific contingencies
- Review detailed trade and supplier breakdowns
- Modify construction pricing scenarios
- Analyse project costs with greater accuracy
- Prepare estimates that reflect their own business requirements
Built for Modern Builders
For years, construction estimates have been delivered as static spreadsheets that can be difficult to manage, update, and customise. Our digital platform transforms the estimating process by providing builders with a dynamic environment where construction costs can be reviewed, adjusted, and managed with ease.
Greater Control Over Construction Pricing
One of the biggest challenges with traditional spreadsheets is maintaining profitability when changes occur throughout the quoting process. For example, if a homeowner decides to supply a product themselves, removing that item from a spreadsheet often removes both the cost and the associated margin. This can unintentionally reduce profitability and affect the overall project outcome. Our digital estimating platform has been designed to provide greater control over these situations, helping builders manage changes while maintaining visibility over margins, markups, and project profitability.
Estimate Like a Professional Estimator
The goal of our platform is simple: to give builders the same level of control and flexibility that professional estimators use when preparing and managing construction estimates. Rather than being locked into a fixed document, you can work with your estimate in a live digital environment that allows you to review costs, make adjustments, and tailor pricing to suit your business and project requirements.
A Smarter Way to Manage Estimates
Through a single estimate purchase and a free Blulevel Estimating account, builders gain access to a modern estimating experience that combines professional estimating services with powerful digital tools. The result is greater confidence, improved pricing accuracy, enhanced control over profitability, and a more efficient way to prepare construction quotes for clients.
