A long-standing estimating and job-costing platform used by Australian residential builders for decades. We implement, train and support Databuild — and migrate teams from it to costed.app when the time comes.
Repeatable house designs, supplier price lists, structured BOQs.
You've been using it for years and want to keep it running smoothly.
Or you're considering moving to a modern cloud platform like costed.app.
Detailed BOQ creation with structured cost centres and supplier price lookup.
Track actual costs against estimates throughout the build lifecycle.
Generate POs from BOQ line items with automatic supplier price application.
Stage-based claims with retention handling.
Track variation orders and their financial impact across the job.
Standard suite of profitability, margin and cash-flow reports.
Database setup, template build, supplier import, integration with your accounting system.
Remote sessions for estimators and admin. Recorded for new starters.
If you're ready for the cloud, we can move your data and templates across with minimal disruption.
Many of our Databuild customers run zzTakeoff alongside it for fast PDF takeoffs that flow into Databuild's estimating workflow.
We don't just install Databuild — we set it up around your supplier list, your cost centres, your job templates and your reporting needs. So you're productive on day one, not month three.
Whether you're rolling it out, training your team, or planning a migration — we've done it all before.
