Features
Everything you need to estimate and quote
Calculate materials accurately
Enter your measurements and calculate the quantities you need for concrete, masonry, plastering, rendering, painting, tiling, flooring, roofing and other construction work.
Use your own materials and prices
Build your own Materials Library around the products you actually buy and use. Assign materials to the trades you work with and keep your prices up to date.
Calculate labour
Use your own labour rates, production rates and crew settings to build realistic labour costs into every estimate.
Build and reuse assemblies
Save commonly used combinations of materials and labour as assemblies, so repeat work can be estimated faster without starting from scratch.
Create professional quotes
Turn your estimate into a clear, itemised quote with your company information, logo, client details, materials, labour and project costs.
Export material schedules
Create clear material lists showing the quantities required for ordering, purchasing or use on site.
Create invoices
Use your project information to create professional invoices with your company branding and client details.
Keep projects organised
Save your estimates, quotes, material schedules and invoices together so you can return to them whenever you need them.

Your system
Built around the way you work
Your materials. Your prices. Your labour. Your assemblies.

BuildCalc grows with the way you work.
