Estimark Reviews 

Written by the company

Most construction firms run five systems that don't talk to each other: a quoting tool, a spreadsheet for costs, a WhatsApp group for the site, an accounts package for invoices, and a lever-arch file for health and safety. The re-typing between them is where the margin quietly goes — and why so many contractors only find out a job lost money months after it finished. Estimark is built on one idea: those are five views of the same job, so they should be one record. One record carries the work from the first estimate through to the final warranty. Price the job, win it, run it, cost it, invoice it, and hand it over — without typing the same figures twice. WHAT IT COVERS Estimating and quotes with a price book. Jobs, programmes and site diaries. Job costing that pulls labour from timesheets, materials from purchase orders and subcontract net of CIS, so you can see a job's margin while there is still time to do something about it. Variations, RFIs and correspondence. Health and safety, RAMS and method statements. CIS deductions, subcontractors and payment applications. Defects, snagging, handover and warranty. It works on site as well as in the office. Native apps for iPhone and Android mean an operative with no signal in a basement can still log hours, take photographs and record what changed. It syncs with Xero and QuickBooks rather than replacing your accountant. WHO IT IS FOR UK contractors and trades firms, typically from three to fifty people. It is aimed squarely at the firm that cannot justify employing a full-time estimator — the owner pricing next week's work at nine o'clock at night. Most software puts estimating in its top tier, where the customers already have an estimator. We think that is backwards. Built in the UK, for UK construction.See more
