Australian Construction Estimating Solutions

Buildersmates International supports clients working across UK and international construction markets.

Our BOQs, take-offs and cost schedules can be structured to suit the client, tender and country requirements, including UK NRM-style measurement, Australian and New Zealand measurement approaches, North American CSI / MasterFormat structures, and locally adapted formats for Thailand and Southeast Asia.

We also maintain and develop country-wide, regional and client-specific construction cost data because every contractor, consultant and developer has different labour rates, material costs, preliminaries, overheads and margins.

Where a project requires a specific standard, method of measurement, work breakdown structure or tender format, we agree this at Stage One before measurement begins.

• UK — NRM2-ready BOQs
• Australia — ANZSMM-aware costing
• USA — CSI / MasterFormat structure
• Thailand — Localised cost schedules

All our client Libraries account Regional labour, materials, preliminaries & margins as well as repeat client specific pricing.

For our clients in the UK, Australia, Thailand (South East Asia) and the USA:

Buildersmates can structure UK BOQs and measured work schedules with reference to RICS New Rules of Measurement, including NRM2 for detailed building works, subject to the client’s scope, tender requirements and agreed format.

For Australian and New Zealand projects, Buildersmates can adapt BOQs, cost plans and take-offs to local market expectations using ANZSMM-style measurement principles, AIQS cost management guidance and client-specific labour, material, preliminaries, overhead and margin data.

For US and North American projects, Buildersmates can structure cost information around CSI MasterFormat, Uniformat or client-specific work breakdown structures, with cost management principles aligned to recognised project-controls practice.

For Thailand-based projects, Buildersmates can provide BOQs, take-offs and cost schedules using an agreed international structure, adapted to Thai project documentation, local authority requirements, Thai Baht cost data, local labour and material rates, and input from our Thai project consultants.
