BUILD A BETTER TENDER PROCESS
All-inclusive estimating platform featuring an up-to-date price database with thousands of prebuilt recipes.
Our Rapid Pro Estimation provides complete project data, enabling you to meet with your client, review budgets room by room, and adjust specifications and costings in real time.
Homeowners deserve the right to obtain three quotations for their build project. Builders have a responsibility to respond within a reasonable timeframe, providing value and transparent costings in a single quotation.
The Rapid Pro Report by Estimating Online streamlines this process, saving both builders and homeowners time and money. While some builders charge for this estimation, it remains optional. Builders can use the tools provided to complete the estimation themselves. Alternatively, Estimating Online can perform the estimation on your behalf for a fee.
How you deliver the Qualifying Building Estimation is at your discretion. Builders can print the PDF, which includes all your branding and your business information, or bring an iPad or Laptop to the client meeting, hide all builder visible fees, and adjust the estimation in real time in front of the client.
At this stage, trades and suppliers should not be asked to quote the project until the client has approved the qualifying building estimation.
Your client has approved the Qualifying Building Estimate, whats next.
A traditional estimation is now completed to establish a single cost allowance for your client’s build. At this stage, contacting trades and suppliers for project quotations is optional.
Once your Qualifying Building Estimation is approved by the client, it’s time to prepare a detailed Bill of Quantities, outlining budgets for all fixtures, fittings, materials, and labour.
At this stage, contacting trades and suppliers for quotations is optional. Completing the Elemental Estimation allows you to control trade and supplier budgets before any further tender progression.
Our Elemental Estimation is the recommended tool to confirm all costings. Builders gain access to a comprehensive cost database and prebuilt recipes from Estimating Online for fast, accurate, and automated estimation. Alternatively, an experienced estimator can complete the data entry on your behalf.
Delivery of the estimation is at your discretion. Builders can print the PDF with all branding and business information or bring an iPad or laptop to the client meeting, hide all builder-visible fees, and adjust the estimation in real time in front of the client.
Managing the final construction cost, before submission to your Client.
At this final stage of tendering, it is essential to confirm trade and supplier budgets.
At the final stage of the tender process, builders must confirm budgets initiated in Step 2 with trades and suppliers. While it is not necessary to obtain quotations from every trade or supplier, it is essential to confirm budgets with your major trades and suppliers.
“Our preferred method of tendering may not suit every builder, as the process is highly individual. Each builder must develop their own internal system, working with Estimating Online enhances both accuracy and speed throughout the tender process.”

How it works
INSTANT COST UPDATES IN REAL TIME.
Rapid Pro Estimation, Save time & offers value to your clients
Never miss an item found in the plans with automatic pre-populated prompts to ensure accurate estimating.
Too many builders & home owners are wasting too much money on estimating, only to discover that the projected build cost exceeded the client’s original budget. In our experience, at least 80% of architect or designer led projects end up in this situation. A Rapid Pro Estimation makes estimating affordable to establish a suitable build budget.

Elemental Estimation, Gives price control back to Builders.
Traditionally, estimators controlled quantities and cost management. With automation and modern estimating tools, builders regain that control.
A novice user of Elemental Estimate is expected to take 69–90 minutes to set up a Bill of Quantities. From that point, builders gain full control over estimating, reclaiming power from trades and suppliers.
