The size of the project, drawing detail and trades in scope determine the work involved. We confirm one fixed fee and a delivery date before you give the go-ahead.
Is this software I need to learn?
No. Constructline is an estimating service. The team does the work and sends you the files. Your client login is there when you need it.
Where does AI fit in?
AI assists with takeoffs and reading drawings. Experienced estimators set rates and review the scope; Australian engineers check the estimate. People remain responsible for the finished work.
Who does the work?
Our estimators are based in the Philippines. Engineers in Australia lead the team and check every estimate before it goes to you.
How long does an estimate take?
Most jobs are delivered within two working days after your go-ahead. Larger or more complex projects can take longer. Your delivery date is confirmed with your fixed fee.
What if the drawings change?
Send the addendum through. The team reprices the changes and reissues the files at no extra cost. If the overall scope changes, any fee change is agreed before proceeding.
Can you price just one trade?
Yes. Choose a single trade, selected trades or the whole project in the scope builder. Your estimator confirms the final inclusions with you.
What is outside the estimating scope?
Site visits and measures, design or engineering sign-off, bank valuations, depreciation schedules, progress claims and legal or contract advice. Specialist works may be carried as provisional sums.
Are my plans confidential?
Yes. Constructline can sign your NDA or its own, and does not price two competing builders on the same job.
Can you use my own supplier rates?
Yes. Share your preferred supplier or subcontractor rates with the drawings. The team can use those rates and clarify any allowances before finalising the estimate.
What will the files open in?
Your priced bill of quantities and registers are Excel files; marked-up drawings are PDFs. You can review the detail in your existing spreadsheet and PDF workflow.
