What is EstimateOne?
EstimateOne is an online platform designed to help you find and follow projects where you are specified, or equivalent products are specified, and connects you to hundreds of Australian commercial builders.
Who can I connect with on EstimateOne?
EstimateOne helps you connect directly with builders so that you can view their projects. Building rapport with Builders will go a long way to grow your business.
Our Supplier Connect feature is a powerful tool to specified suppliers on EstimateOne that match your trades, shortcutting your pricing collection process.
How do I make the most of EstimateOne?
Getting EstimateOne ready
Before starting anything else, we need to make sure you've provided all the right information to EstimateOne to make it work for you. You can do that by setting up your Company Profile.
Next, you should add all your team members, so everyone is working together.
If you have multiple offices, you can manage numerous offices via EstimateOne. You may prefer to create separate accounts for national teams.
Finding Work (AKA Lead Generation)
You can quickly find projects of interest on the Tender Noticeboard. Our Speci-Finder feature makes this even easier, with automated alerts for projects mentioning your brands or keywords.
To make sure a project is right for you, you can confirm your specification by viewing and searching documents.
If you're invited to a project or have requested documentation, you'll need to manage your Invites & Requests in EstimateOne.
Managing Projects
Once you've found a project, you can monitor projects and use the watchlist, it’s visible to your team to help you keep track of projects that matter.
