M-00/BUILT FORAUSTRALIA

Tier 2 and 3 builders

Commercial, education, health and multi-residential tenders priced from drawings that are still moving, with an addendum in the last week.

Civil contractors

Council and state road, drainage and bridge tenders priced against the client's schedule of rates, often to a tight close.

Concrete, formwork and reo

Concrete volumes, formwork areas and reinforcement tonnage by bar size and mesh type, ready for your rates.

Masonry and trade subcontractors

Brick and block counts by type and level, with lintels, ties and openings, so labour can be priced directly.

M-01/DRAWING REVIEWSAMPLE

The tender drawings checked before you price, and the queries ready before the clarification deadline.

YOU SEND

The tender package: drawings, drawing register, specification and geotechnical report, with the date tender RFIs close.

YOU GET

A tender clarification pack: a numbered tender RFI log in your format, the gaps and conflicts behind each query, the assumptions and exclusions to state in your tender, and key quantities.

  • 01Query logEvery question numbered and written ready to send, referenced to the sheet, revision and clause, in your query schedule format.
  • 02Gaps and conflictsSheets checked against each other, the drawing register and the specification: missing details, clashing dimensions, unstated grades, and notes that conflict with the specification, AS 3600 and the Australian Standards the project names.
  • 03Assumptions and exclusionsWhere the drawings leave scope open, the basis to state in your tender, so the risk is priced or written down. Where the tender does not allow qualified bids, we turn them into queries instead.
  • 04Key quantitiesConcrete by element, reinforcement allowance by element, excavation and disposal, taken off the drawings so you can sense-check the scope before the full take-off.

AI use in writing

Every deliverable states what AI did and who checked it.

Never used for training

Your drawings are used for your job only. They are never used to train AI models.

Before you send the drawings

Get your first review free

One package from a tender you're pricing now, such as substructure or drainage, up to 40 sheets: the query log, gaps and conflicts, assumptions and exclusions, and key quantities, within 3 working days of the complete package arriving, with a short call to go through them. Or send a tender you've already returned, and we'll check it blind so you can compare our quantities and queries with your own.

AI does the counting: reading each sheet, taking off the quantities, cross-checking the drawings and marking anything it can't settle. A senior engineer in the discipline resolves every marked item, checks the result and signs it off. Each deliverable states what AI did and who checked it.

The one your tender asks for: the AIQS Australian Standard Method of Measurement for building work, or the client's own schedule of rates or bill of quantities for civil work, item for item. Send the layout and we'll fill it.

We're in India: 4.5 to 5.5 hours behind Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane depending on daylight saving, and 2.5 hours behind Perth. A package sent in your morning is worked on the same day, and replies on RFIs and addenda come back in your working hours.

Not yet. Our work is a check and a take-off for your estimators to use, and your team keeps responsibility for the price you submit. Our terms set out our liability, and we'll send them with the fee quote.

A fixed fee per package, quoted within one working day of receiving the documents. Teams with a steady flow of tenders can take a monthly allowance instead. We don't charge by the hour.

Under NDA, signed before anything is sent. Your drawings are used for your job only and are never used to train AI models. Check your tender's confidentiality terms first: if sharing needs the client's consent, tell us and we'll give you a short description of our handling to send them.
