Measure
We use Bluebeam software is used to measure quantities and dimensions on digital construction drawings. It allows users to accurately measure lengths, areas, and counts by calibrating the scale of the drawing, enabling precise estimation and cost analysis for construction projects.
Cost

When we apply construction costs, we are analysing project requirements, materials, labour, and other resources to determine the total cost of a construction project. It often includes factors such as market rates, historical data, and project-specific variables to provide accurate budgeting and financial planning for the project.

Review
We meticulously review every estimate before sending it out, ensuring accuracy and completeness. This careful scrutiny is essential to maintain our commitment to providing reliable and transparent cost estimates.

About Us

Rick - Estimator & Managing Director.

Rick has over 17 years experience in the building and construction industry, including extensive scheduling and estimating experience in residential and commercial construction.

 

He started his career in 2004 with one of Australia’s leading Home Builders. As a team member he was given the opportunity to develop his management skills particularly in areas of estimating and scheduling.

 

In 2012, Rick started Blulevel Estimating which was an estimating company providing brick counts for Builders which rapidly grew into providing bill of quantities for Builders.

 

Since 2017, Rick focuses on providing a complete building estimation for Builders across Australia. The experience and knowledge gained since starting Blulevel Estimating has been rewarding, from receiving phone calls and emails advising successful tender from our estimation, through to estimating more than $3.02b in construction costs over the last 4 years.

If you are unsure about which estimation is suited for you, please feel free to give us a call.

Our phone systems are always on during standard working hours, but just like you from time to time we do work outside the standard business hours.
We have experience working on projects over $1.5m and it is quite common for a Builder to engage with us because we are estimating experts and have industry knowledge.
The purpose of the estimations is to set trade & supplier budgets from start to finish which then establishes a final construction cost. Our Estimation covers costs from Development fees, Shire fees through to all aspects of construction and finalising with construction margin added to the construction cost forming a client price.
Blulevel Estimating is not a registered quantity surveyor, some organisations do require a registered quantity surveyor, please refer to the AIQS for more information.
At the bottom of each estimation we provide a percentage guide based on construction cost value. This margin rate can be adjusted by the Builder at any given time.
You want to be able to communicate with your client the total construction cost value. By presenting the Client Cost Report you can show the total sum cost for each cost centre. All costs displayed in this cost report are construction cost + builders margin + overheads.
If you have a query with your estimation, we encourage you to comment inside the estimation and return for the estimator to review.

We upload all construction plans to an on-screen take off program called Bluebeams where we measure all the project quantities. Upon completion of the scheduling, the project is passed to our estimator for completion of the costings. The estimator’s responsibility is to upload completed bill of quantities, assess the project complexity, apply suitable construction rates and finalise the construction estimation. It is the builders responsibility to share all construction plans to ensure your estimation is completed to the best of our ability.
