Residential quoteshave no standard.

Every builder prices to their own assumptions, so no two quotes cover the same work.

01

Each quote covers different work

One allows for the retaining wall. One leaves it out. One sets aside a rough figure.

02

The numbers cannot be compared

Three formats, three sets of inclusions, and no way to tell which number is complete.

03

What nobody priced becomes a variation

The cheapest quote is usually the one that left the most out. The rest arrives later, at a price nobody competed on.

The fix

One scope of works,priced by every builder.

From your plansto your builder.

Four steps. You do the first one, we do the rest.

01 / 04Upload

Start with your plans.

Your drawings, your reports, whatever your designer gave you. Add a few details about the project and that is your part done. Everything after this is ours.

02 / 04Your scope of works

Your plans become one scope.

We read every drawing, report and specification, and write out every item of work they cover. Every scope item points at the page it came from. You approve it before any builder sees it.

03 / 04The same list, priced

Every builder prices that scope.

Verified builders walk your scope line by line and answer the same questions under signature. Nobody quietly leaves an item out, and nothing turns up later as a variation you never agreed to.

04 / 04The comparison

See what each price actually covers.

We read every tender in full and set out where they differ, item by item: what each one has allowed for, what it has left out, and where the money can still move. Then you choose.

Start your project

Every builderis vetted.

Nobody prices your job anonymously. Every builder is vetted before they see it, and the rules they price under are published before the round opens.

01

Every builder is vetted

We check each builder’s ABN against the Australian Business Register, and their licence against the state register where one connects and by our team where it does not. A builder takes a spot on an open round only once both have passed. Insurances are declared under signature with the tender.

02

Every scope item is referenced

Each line points to the document, page and revision it came from, and anything we cannot trace is removed. The pack cannot be approved while anything is unread, and nothing reaches a builder until you approve it.

03

Every tender is scored the same way

Every tender is read against the same six things: how firm the price is, how much of the scope it covers, how well it is prepared, who the builder is, how they deliver, and how believable the programme is. Each one shows its working, so you can see why one tender sits above another.

The contract is signed directly between you and your builder.

Inflation rose more than the RBA expected, ahead of its 3 November cash rate decision.

Trimmed mean inflation rose 1.0% in the September quarter. Economists say the Reserve Bank's August forecasts implied about 0.8%. The four major banks now forecast a cash rate rise, and the RBA will announce its decision on Tuesday 3 November.
