SparkyBuddy Estimating
Who it's for
On your own
The builder sends a PDF. Set the scale, tap each fitting, trace the runs, and it prices from your pre-builds straight into the quote. Done at night, not over a weekend.
Plan takeoff
A small crew
Unit blocks, fit-outs and commercial jobs with dozens of sheets. Max reads the legend and counts every sheet, so you check the numbers instead of counting them.
Estimator Pro
A bigger contractor
Read the tender pack, fill in the client's schedule, price the civil, catch what's priced twice and send the proposal. Then track how you went, tender by tender.
Tender Pro
Pick the level you need
Sparky Plus plan and up
Open the PDF plans on the job, set the scale and take it off by hand. It's priced from your own pre-builds and goes straight into the quote.
Included in Sparky Plus, Business, Business Plus and Enterprise.
Max counts the plans for you
Tap Legend and Max reads the plan's legend, then counts every item on every sheet, hands off. You check the counts before anything is added.
On Sparky Plus, Business and Business Plus as an extra. Included in Enterprise.
Price tenders, start to finish
Load the whole tender pack and Max reads it: the scope, quantities, hold points and anything that needs an RFI. Then price it against the client's own schedule and send the proposal.
On Sparky Plus, Business and Business Plus as an extra. Included in Enterprise. Up to 10 tenders a month, Estimator Pro included.
Only tender now and then?
Price a single tender without the monthly plan. The pass covers that job's tender, and Max's takeoff for it.
Pay for one tender at a time, and your first tender is free. Any plan, the free one included.
From plans to proposal
Drop in the PDF plans, spec and addenda. Max reads the pack: the scope, quantities, hold points and anything that needs an RFI.
Watch how it worksTap Legend and Max reads the plan's legend, then counts every item on every sheet, by sheet and by area. You check the counts before they go in.
Watch how it worksCount by hand with a tap, trace cable runs and areas to scale, or let it measure the conduit and trench runs straight off the plan's lines.
Watch how it worksEvery item prices from your own pre-builds and supplier prices. The labour hours show as days, so you can see at a glance if the price sounds like the job.
Watch how it worksRead in their price schedule from the Excel form. Every dollar goes against its item, provisional sums lock at the set amount, and the form adds up to your price.
Watch how it worksYour own crew's rates, or subcontractors' quotes read from their Excel, side by side. Pick one, with its own margin.
Watch how it worksThe fine-print checklist lists the small requirements in the drawing notes and spec. The priced-twice check flags anything the client already carries as a provisional sum.
Watch how it worksOne tap runs every step and shows what's left. Send the proposal and the filled-in schedule, or the Excel breakdown.
Watch how it worksPut in the winning price and see how far off you were. Your win/loss record shows the pattern across every tender.
