Estimating Software Implementation Melbourne
We help you select, set up and integrate construction estimating software into your business. Practical support from someone who uses these tools every day.
CostX Implementation
CostX is the platform we use every day across all our estimating and QS work. We know it inside out. We help with initial setup and configuration, building project templates that match your workflow, creating and populating rate libraries with current Melbourne market rates, setting up measurement standards and dimension groups, configuring Excel export templates to match your business reporting format, and training your team to use the platform effectively. If you have already purchased CostX but are not getting the most out of it, we can audit your current setup and recommend improvements.
Software Selection
If you have not yet chosen a platform, we provide independent advice on which estimating software suits your business based on the type of work you do, the size of your team and your budget. We are not resellers for any software vendor so our recommendation is based on what works, not what earns us a commission. We have hands-on experience with CostX, Buildsoft Cubit, Bluebeam and Excel-based estimating systems and can advise on the strengths and limitations of each for different business types.
Who This Is For
Builders moving from spreadsheet-based estimating to dedicated software and wanting to get the setup right from the start.
Estimating teams that have software installed but are not using it to its full capability.
Businesses upgrading from one platform to another and needing data migration and workflow reconfiguration support.
Next Steps
Get in touch and tell us what software you are using or considering, what your current workflow looks like and what you want to improve.
We will recommend the right level of support and provide a fixed-fee proposal. This service can be combined with our CostX training for a complete package covering both implementation and skills development.
