Connected Estimator
What It Is
Connected Estimator is a construction cost estimating platform configured specifically to your business. We take everything that makes your estimating yours — your trades, your rates, your templates, your margins, your pricing logic — and build it into a dedicated engine on our platform. It combines architectural plans, scope documents, and Yembo scan data with your custom logic banks and continuously updated WA market rates to produce accurate, multi-tier estimates on demand. Delivered as a platform: a one-off configuration project builds your engine; a simple monthly platform fee keeps it running, supported, and calibrated.
How It Works
Upload plans, scope of works, or Yembo inspection data. The AI engine parses the inputs, identifies required trades, applies dependency logic (what needs to happen before what), and calculates quantities. Each line item is priced from your own rate bank — seeded with current WA market data and calibrated to what you actually charge — with trade-specific minimum callout thresholds, bundling logic for same-trade work, and allowances for local market conditions. The output is a professional estimate package — Word summary document plus detailed Excel breakdown — ready for client presentation, tender submission, or internal budgeting.
Key Capabilities
What Gets Delivered
A branded estimate package containing an executive summary, trade-by-trade cost breakdown, scope assumptions, exclusions, and a detailed Excel model. For renovation projects, a 4-tier range report lets clients compare options across budget levels. Every deliverable is formatted for professional use — whether it's going to a homeowner, an insurer, a builder, or a government agency.
Who It's For
Why it matters: Traditional quantity surveying is slow, expensive, and often relies on outdated rate books — and generic estimating software makes you fit its model. Connected Estimator is configured to yours. Professional output in hours instead of weeks, calibrated to what WA contractors are actually charging today, priced as a platform rather than a per-job service. It makes professional-grade estimating a capability you own, not a cost you queue for.
