What is the purpose of setting up a Company Profile on EstimateOne?

Creating a Company Profile on EstimateOne helps you connect with the right builders and suppliers, find suitable projects, and showcase your business effectively. A complete profile, including About Us and Project History sections helps to set you apart from the competition. If you have your profile set to visible, you will be discoverable to builders looking for new subcontractors, and to suppliers matched by trade, on the projects that matter to you.

What information is pre-filled in my Company Profile, and can I edit it?

Some information may be pre-filled based on your registration, but you can edit and complete your profile as needed.

How do I add or edit Trades in my profile?

To add or edit Trades, click on Edit in the Trades section, and use the dropdown menu to select relevant trade categories. You can also remove added trades by clicking the 'x' next to them and then click Save to confirm your selections. If you don't see an exact match for your trade, select the closest one and highlight your specialisation in your About Us section. 

What's the significance of selecting Trades in my profile?

Selecting Trades helps builders filter subcontractors in the directory, making it easier to connect with the right businesses. Suppliers and Subbies are matched by trades for the Supplier Connect feature

How do I upload my company logo to my profile?

To upload a company logo, click Upload Logo and select a file from your computer. Note that only company Administrators can upload logos. To check who the Admins are on your team, click on the Team tab. Admins will be noted under the Account Access column.

How can I add or change my ABN (Australian Business Number) in my profile?

Click Edit next to the ABN field to add or change your ABN. Ensure that it's valid and in the correct format before saving. An incorrect ABN will generate an error message and won't save.

How do I specify the size of projects my business typically works on and the size of my team?

Click Edit next to the Employees section. Select the smallest and largest contract size you usually work on.

💡
Note that this is the average value of a contract relevant to your trade, and not the total project value, it gives builders a guide to projects that may be right fit for your business.

Specify your team size by using the dropdown menu under Workforce Size and click Save.

What should I do in the 'Categories' section of my profile?

In the Categories section, select the types of projects you are interested in or have experience with. You can choose as many as you like here. 

How can I update my location information in my profile?

Your location is based on your Head Office details, which you can update by clicking Edit against the head office address. You can also add additional office locations. We only show your State as your location.

How do I nominate the key contact for my business in my profile?

Click Edit in the Contact section and choose a team member from the dropdown menu. You can only nominate one main contact for your business, so consider this when nominating your company contact. We'll display their name, and their contact email address.

What should I include in the 'About Us' section of my profile?

In the About Us section, add a short company bio to introduce your business to builders and suppliers. Share information about your company's identity, services, and any specialised trades. We recommend keeping this to a couple of paragraphs, so that builders and suppliers can quickly assess if you're a good connection. 

How can I add historical projects to the 'Project History' section?

To add historical projects, click Add, search for the project by name, and select it from the dropdown menu. Enter the contract value, builder or client details, completion month, and a brief project description. You can have up to 20 projects in this section, and can also include long term projects that may already be underway, as you can nominate a future completion date. 

Can I add a project that's not in the dropdown menu?

Yes, if the project isn't in the dropdown menu, click Create New and provide the project details. You may need to scroll to the bottom of the short list to find the Create New option, depending on how many results appear. 

How do I control who can view my Company Profile?

To control your profile visibility, go to Profile settings. You can set preferences for Watchlist visibility and Subcontractor Directory visibility to determine who can see your profile.

How does a builder find my profile, and what do they see?

Builders find your profile by selecting a trade from the Network page, and all profiles with that criteria are displayed and ordered by distance from the builder’s office.

When they select a profile, they will see your profile in the following format. They then have the option to add you to their address book and issue invitations and correspondence.
