Description
CostMate is a specialized estimating software designed for residential builders in New Zealand, particularly targeting solo operators and small teams involved in renovations, such as bathrooms, decks, and extensions.
It calculates labor costs using phase-specific production rates that take into account real-world site conditions like access issues, height variations, existing building constraints, and team size, moving away from a simple square-metre pricing approach. The software automatically applies BRANZ wastage percentages to material amounts, ensuring that estimates are both accurate and compliant with industry standards. Furthermore, every estimate inherently incorporates New Zealand Building Code stipulations related to external moisture, wet areas, energy efficiency, and timber framing, eliminating the need for a separate checklist.
Before an estimate is forwarded to clients, a quote-checking procedure reviews the details and highlights common oversights in residential quotes.
CostMate operates on a robust rules engine rather than a language model, ensuring that every quantity, wastage percentage, and code item is precise and can be traced back to its origin. It is important to note that this software does not function as a quantity surveying tool, project management system, or job scheduling application, making it distinctly tailored to the estimating needs of builders. Additionally, its design emphasizes transparency and reliability, allowing users to have confidence in the accuracy of their estimates.
Description
Shops can accurately estimate quotes, win more jobs, and generate more profit. You can estimate with or without a 3D CAD model. Use industry-validated cost models that have been proven reliable to quickly estimate labor costs and times. Multiple quantities can be simultaneously estimated by simultaneously amortizing setup and other quantity-sensitive costs. A central database allows for real-time updates and fast retrieval and review all estimate data within the organization. Import tools allow mass uploading of manufacturing data, allowing for quick refreshes of quotes with the most recent information. Export tools are easy to use to create custom reports and links to other software such as ERP/MRP. It automatically generates a formal quotation and a series of management reports.
