Three steps from site visit to signed quote

No spreadsheets, no guesswork. Pick the job type, answer a few site questions, and get a defensible range backed by current NZ trade rates.

01
🏗️
Pick the job & answer site questions

02
📊
Get a line-item breakdown

The Breakdown tab shows every trade division with quantities, unit rates, and totals. Adjust items to match the actual scope, add your margin, and toggle GST.

03
📄
Export a branded PDF quote

Generate a clean PDF showing your company name, the itemised scope, total cost, and a summary your client can actually read. Ready to email or print on site.

Never forget to price something important

Estimating from memory on site means it's easy to miss a cost — scaffolding, disposal, consented drawings, an awkward access point. MyBuilder Pro prompts you through the scope questions and common cost items for the job type you've picked, before it produces a range, so the things that are easy to forget on site aren't left out of the number you give your client.

26 job types, ready to go

Every common renovation and new-build job type a NZ builder is likely to quote — from a single room to a full sleep out or pool.

Common questions

Who is this for?

Any NZ builder who quotes renovation and construction work. It's not a homeowner tool — access requires a subscription and login. There's a separate free homeowner estimator built especially for homeowners that supports your quotation without giving away breakdown details and gives a broader cost range.

How accurate are the rates?

They're Auckland-calibrated, trade-level rates (excluding builder margin — you add your own). They're built from the same cost framework we use on commercial projects and updated quarterly against live supplier data and Stats NZ indices. They won't replace a detailed QS estimate on a large project, but for quoting everyday renovation and fit-out work they're reliable enough to stand behind.

Can I use it for projects outside Auckland?

The rates are Auckland-calibrated. Regional adjustments (e.g. Wellington, Christchurch) are on the roadmap. For now, use your own regional factor as a top-level adjustment.

What's included in the quarterly rate updates?

All 26 job types are reviewed and repriced each quarter using current supplier pricing (PlaceMakers, Carters, ITM, Bunnings), Stats NZ construction indices, and MBIE benchmarks. Updates are automatic — you don't need to do anything.

How do I cancel?

Cancel from your account dashboard or email us before your next billing date. No lock-in, no cancellation fee, no hoops to jump through. Cancel before day 31 and you pay nothing.

Is there an Australian version?

Not yet. MyBuilder Pro is NZ-focused right now. An Australian edition is planned — get in touch if you're interested.

Stop guessing. Quote confidently and successfully.
