Professional quantity surveying and construction estimating services designed to help builders and subcontractors plan with confidence and win more tenders.
My Estimator provides professional construction estimating and quantity surveying services for builders and trade contractors. With years of hands-on industry experience, we understand the real challenges contractors face when pricing projects and preparing tenders.
We use CostX software, one of the most advanced estimating tools in the construction industry, providing clear and transparent quantity takeoffs and cost reporting.
Our dedicated offshore team in Sri Lanka has supported our operations for over 12 years, allowing us to deliver efficient and scalable estimating services.
Unlike many estimating consultants, our founder has extensive experience working directly with building contractors, providing practical insight into real project costs.
Reliable estimating services tailored for builders, subcontractors and construction professionals.
Subcontract trade estimates are prepared for subcontractors who need accurate, practical pricing support for live quotes and tenders.
We bring strong experience in pricing rendering, ceramic tiles and stone, concrete, and carpentry, giving us a solid understanding of the scope, sequencing and cost drivers involved in these trades.

We measured and priced the project, then vetted subcontractor quotes to ensure coverage and value for money. Our ability to untangle and quantify messy refurbishment work is a strong fit for education projects, where staged works, existing conditions and constant changes are the norm.
On this 12‑storey mixed‑use tower with retail at ground and apartments above, My Estimator prepared full builders’ quantities for a mid‑tier apartment builder. The measure was structured around typical subcontract packages, so the builder could go to market and compare quotes on a clear like‑for‑like basis.
The builder approached us with a house renovation they wanted to price, and we carried out a full measure and pricing exercise. They then issued unrated copies of our trade breakdowns to their subcontractors and suppliers, and used a My Estimator–provided Excel spreadsheet to adjust their offer to the client and fine‑tune margins.
My Estimator provided full builders’ quantities to Evolution Rail for the major civil and structural packages. We measured and priced over 10,000 m³ of concrete, 25,000 m² of slabs and close to a thousand tonnes of reinforcing and structural steel. This gave the team a solid basis for pricing, checking coverage in quotes and managing risk on this large, rail‑linked industrial site.
For the Wallan STP Upgrade, My Estimator measured and priced for Reeves Envico and Cockram (Now Icon), the major concrete building elements and associated civil pipework. This included detailed quantities for tanks, channels, pump stations and equipment foundations, as well as extensive in‑ground pipework, pits and structures serving the treatment process. Our take‑off was structured to follow client provided complex breakdowns.
We have also prepared detailed landscape packages for small landscape subcontractors, including paving, concrete edges, walls, steps and planting areas. This lets smaller firms access the same level of structured measurement and costing that bigger contractors expect, without needing an in‑house estimator.
From 2014 to 2026, My Estimator provided exclusive estimating services to Bishop Master Finishes, helping them grow from a four-person rendering team in Melbourne to a national business operating across Australia. Over this time, we built a strong understanding of high-end decorative renders and polished plaster, and the commercial realities of delivering these finishes on a wide range of projects.
We have extensive experience measuring ceramic tiling works and capturing the detail subcontractors need for accurate pricing and ordering. We summarise floor and wall areas onto a clear one‑page overview, with supporting breakdowns by room, apartment or level where required. We also itemise skirting and feature bands, apply clearly identifiable waste factors, and include edge trims, sealants and waterstops, so tilers receive quantities structured in the same way they price and install the work.
We have measured and priced multi‑storey towers for concrete and formwork subcontractors in both Sydney and Melbourne. Our ability to summarise a project into clear overall quantities, then break those down level by level, is highly sought after by contractors who need reliable numbers to plan labour, formwork systems and pours.
On Hansen Yuncken’s Hedberg project, we used the main contract as the baseline, then carried out a detailed construction set review to test the final drawings against that deal. The project team could then focus on running the project. The level of documentation changes on this project was extensive, so we systematically compared each new construction issue back to the tender set and logged every departure.
We prepared reports on many projects to help clients negotiate the cost of rectification works with their insurers. These reports clearly set out the scope of damage, the necessary repair methodology, and a realistic cost of works, giving clients a solid technical and cost basis to challenge under-valued assessments and support fair settlements.
As part of many home owners’ finance packages, there is a requirement to provide an independent quantity surveyor’s report and inspections for progress claims. We have provided this service on numerous domestic projects, however our inspection reports are currently limited to properties located in the south‑east of Melbourne.

Estimates are built from detailed quantities, realistic allowances and current market inputs so you can submit sharper quotes without losing sight of margin. Each estimate is clearly structured to show how the price has been built up, making it easier to review quantities, rates and assumptions before lodging your submission
Our estimates are prepared using detailed quantities, industry-standard estimating methods, and current pricing inputs to provide a practical and reliable basis for decision-making. Final accuracy will always depend on the quality of the drawings, the completeness of the documentation, and how much the project scope changes after the estimate is prepared.
Turnaround times vary depending on project size, trade complexity, and the level of detail required, but we will confirm timing with you before starting. Where deadlines are critical, we can discuss priority timeframes and the most efficient way to stage or structure the work.
We typically work with builders, subcontractors, and property owners across residential and commercial projects with quantities, estimating, and spreadsheet solutions backed by local industry knowledge.
