Limited Access to Regional Areas: Several reviewers have mentioned their dissatisfaction with the platform's restricted access, particularly in Northern Victoria. They feel that expanding coverage to include these areas would make the platform more useful for a wider range of users.

State-based Subscription Model: Users have suggested that the subscription should be based on regions rather than just states. This change would provide users with more localized pricing and features, making it easier for them to access the resources they need within their specific region.

As a Specification Manager and Technical Advisor I find EstimateOne excellent in sourcing new projects targeted for specification as well as accessing specifications and plans for particular projects I have been specified on as well as ones I would like to be specified on. Building great relationships with estimators from construction companies tendering on commercial projects is another bonus with EstimateOne. Overall a highly recommended tool for those in the Industry wanting to make good leeway.
  • Document access to projects on tender.
  • Easy access to tenders and all commercial projects and their status.
  • Good communication details with estimators.
  • Relevant Project Contacts as part of the standard membership not an add-on.
  • Access to all documentation as part of the requirement for tenderers to upload.
Sourcing much needed information and/or documents on a specific project is made easy with EstimateOne.
  • Specification information.
  • Access to plans and specifications.
  • Building strong work relationships with estimators.

We use EstimateOne as an opportunity to tender for doors, tabletops, toilet partitions and any other project looking for FSC or bamboo ply material that we supply. EstimateOne has a terrific search filter (speci-finder) that we can use to target a range of products sought after in commercial projects, that we can match with and therefore submit a quotation for. It can be very difficult to get in front of architects to show them our range. EstimateOne is a worthy way of substantiating what we offer against other business as usual, and monopolized offerings out there.
  • Speci-finder
  • daily updates
  • names, email addresses of the contact involved with the actual project
If you are looking for new opportunities to get in front of builders and architects (indirectly) then I think EstimateOne may be a solution, if you believe in your product and am willing to work on larger projects. If your product is niche or in short supply, you may struggle.
  • Opportunities to submit quotations for new work
  • Contact details of estimators at building companies
  • That we may be recognized as a genuine supplier of quality FSC material and products

  • We are hoping for a positive impact and positive ROI since Covid-19 has effectively stopped our personal engagement opportunities with builders and architects
I think EstimateOne may have a broader database (not sure); but certainly I feel it is very thorough in the searchability for suitable projects

Source potential work to quote by our contractor. I mainly look for building and plumbing work. The portal is easy to navigate with a variety of jobs. It took a little time to work out how to source info such as plans, but now find it very easy to obtain the information.
  • variety of jobs
  • excellent information of each job
  • able to contact the businesses involved in the projects directly
  • want to find a way to focus on jobs in my area only
Once you become familiarised with the portal, it is very easy to navigate. I have found the businesses I have contacted through the portal very helpful.
  • variety of jobs
  • portal easy to navigate
  • other businesses helpful

I use multiple tender sites for accessing tender information on upcoming projects. I find EstimateOne to be the most user-friendly, while delivering the most leads for our company.
  • Good general converage of available tenders
  • We often receive invites from larger builders offering us work through EstimateOne
  • I find the most leads of all the tender site I follow, through EstimateOne
  • I would like a filter [criterion] that was more specific for our field of work, however, there is no other tender site that does any better, so I'm happy with EstimateOne.
Generally, EstimateOne has good coverage of most areas that offer tenders, that I can see. Our company is quite specific in its tender requirements, yet I don't generally get an exact match for our field of work, the search function, and the ability to follow tender releases by the day [they] were released, allows me to pick up from my last search quickly and easily.
  • Good coverage of available projects for tender
  • Easily searchable listings
  • Invites to tender from larger builders

We are using Estimate One to assess potential projects to build our business which is primarily rural, commercial, and industrial repairs and maintenance.
  • Project possibilities
  • Contacts and direct access to builders
  • Could do regional areas rather than state-based, we are based in Northern Victoria and we find it useless to have to pay for NSW access. We are not interested in anything more than 150 km north of the Murray River on the NSW side.
  • Subscription could also be regional based, rather than just state based.
We hardly get feedback quotes from builders. EstimateOne should include a secret area on the site where we could match prices without disclosing to the person or company we are giving the quote to. For example electrician for jobs no #102656 quotes 1. $125,000 2. 135,000 3, $129,000; Plumbers jobs for 1.$69,000 2. $79,000 3.$ 89,000. It would be useful to see how competitive the relevant quotes for various trades are being submitted without disclosing identites.
  • Access to builders
  • Project availability

  • Very costly to submit quotes
  • ROI for doing so many quotes is too expensive
  • These overheads cut into business profitability
Estimate 1 is the best we can find.
