Audience

Australian residential and small-commercial builders, typically teams of 3 to 15, and the estimators, quantity surveyors and trades who price work for them.

About SmarteBuild

SmarteBuild is Australian estimating and construction management software for residential and small-commercial builders, and the estimators and trades who price for them.

Price the job, run the job, and get paid for the job, in one system. Take off quantities from PDF drawings, build a bill of quantities, and cost it against your own price lists. Purchase orders come off that same bill of quantities, supplier invoices match back to them, and committed cost shows against budget while you can still act on it. Progress claims and variations run off the contract the estimate created.

One price covers the whole company: unlimited users, storage and projects. Estimator A$189 a month, Builder A$379, both including GST. Free 30-day trial, no card, no lock-in.

Developed with 100+ Australian builders and QUT teams. Made and supported in Brisbane.

Building Works
There is nothing like it on the market. It’s time to digitally transform your business. You might call it Practical BIM.

If you’re a builder, developer or designer this is just what you’ve been waiting for. BuildingWorks is a low cost subscription-based, fully integrated CAD and estimating software platform. Made for residential new build homes, extensions, conversions and property refurbishment. As you draft building plans the software simultaneously estimates the costs of the project. Its library of intelligent practical BIM products is packed with real materials and objects and rich manufacturer product data. Nothing else on the market shows you the immediate impact of your design and specification decisions on project cost and energy performance. And there’s a QS module for a full Bill of Quantities.

Asta Estimate
Asta Estimate
Asta Estimate is construction cost estimating solution that helps professionals prepare fast, accurate cost estimates and quantity take-offs to support bids and cost planning across projects of any size. It enables users to perform fast and accurate quantity take-offs from 2D drawings via interface with tools like Bluebeam, directly from BIM models, or through automated population of project data, helping speed up estimate creation. It lets users build custom or industry-standard cost libraries with detailed labor, plant, material, and supplier price items, and supports easy cost planning directly from these libraries. Integration with project planning tools such as Asta Powerproject means fully resourced estimates can be exported into schedules to align cost data with project timelines. Asta Estimate also includes modular add-ons like BIM 5D for more advanced estimating workflows and, in supported regions, climate modules for cost and environmental impact reporting.

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.

    "Totally amazed!"

    Posted 2023-02-08

    Pros: The interface is customer orientated. The software features are well-designed and appropriate for my needs.
    The amount of information you can get from the software and the reports it generates are phenomenal.

    Cons: I would've appreciated a Take-off module. Also, sometimes it's hard to find where the features are.

    Overall: This software was extremely easy to set up. I have been using another "well-known" Estimating Software but SmarteBuild has pleasantly surprised me. A couple of times I contacted their "Customer Support" I was quickly assisted and it's always a pleasure to deal with them.
