Price the job. Keep your evenings.
Send us the tender package — straight electrical, home automation, or both on the one job — and get back a complete, priced estimate: takeoff, SKU-level bill of materials, labour and a client-ready quote.
Electrical. Automation. Or the whole package.
Most estimators can't price the automation side. Most integrators can't price the electrical side. We price both — separately or on the same job.
Straight electrical tenders — power, lighting, switchboards, data. Counted systematically, priced from live materials, built up with your rates and margin.
Lighting control, AV, networking, security — priced by people who've actually commissioned these systems. No guessing at what the control gear really costs to install.
The estimate most firms can't produce: electrical and automation priced together, coherently, by one company. If you're tendering the whole package, so are we.
Software counts. Engineers judge.
Manual takeoffs miss things — it's late, the plans are dense, and the highlighter runs dry. Every estimate we produce runs through Cindra, the takeoff-to-quote platform we wrote ourselves, then gets reviewed line-by-line by an engineer who has built this work. Consistency from the software. Judgement from the human.
- Takeoff — every point, fitting and outlet counted systematically from your drawings
- Materials — symbols resolved to real SKUs from a live materials library, switchboard schedules included
- Labour & margin — assembled with your rates and margin, not generic allowances
- Quote — a client-ready document plus the full breakdown, yours to edit
From tender package to defensible number.
The tender package as the builder gave it to you — PDF plans, the spec if there is one, and anything that affects price. No special format needed.
You → us · 10 minutes of your timeA short call to lock in the inclusions: your labour rates, your margin, preferred brands, site conditions, and whether we're pricing electrical, automation or both. Five minutes now saves a rework later.
Together · rates, margin, inclusionsA typical residential estimate is $750. A bigger job — or electrical and automation together — is more, and you'll know the exact figure before we start. Once agreed, it's fixed.
Us → you · within 1 business dayYour drawings go through the Cindra engine — counted, resolved to SKUs, built up with labour — then an engineer checks every line the way someone who's built the job would.
Us · engine + expert reviewA client-ready quote plus the full editable breakdown. Win the job and the same takeoff prices your variations and backs you up when the builder queries a number.
Delivered · days, not weeksWhat you send. What you get back.
PDF plans and electrical drawings, the specification if there is one, and anything that affects price — preferred brands, your labour rates and margin, site conditions. We work from what the builder gave you.
Symbol counts by area, a bill of materials resolved to real SKUs, switchboard schedules, labour build-up, and a client-ready quote — plus the full editable breakdown so the numbers are yours, not a black box.
More than a time saver.
Most contractors cherry-pick tenders because estimating time is scarce — and every tender you skip is a job you've already lost. When estimating is off your desk, you can price everything worth pricing, and when three tenders land in the same week, we scale with you.
A good in-house estimator costs six figures a year, whether the work is flowing or not. From $750 per estimate, you pay only when you're tendering — full-time capability without the full-time overhead.
The quote goes out under your letterhead — your client never knows we exist. And your rates and margins stay confidential: they go into the build-up, not into circulation.
Win the job and the same takeoff prices your variations, orders your materials and backs you up when the builder queries a number. It's not a one-off document — it's the job's cost backbone.
