Turn your plans into a builder-grade estimate in minutes.
Drop in architectural, engineering or site plans (PDF or photos). The agent measures the drawings — floor area, walls, roof, openings, wet areas — then prices every trade against an Australian rate book, with labour/material split, margin and GST. Export a PDF you can put in front of a builder or lender.
Figures are indicative, generated from the drawings you supply and published Australian rates. They are not a quote, tender or valuation. Soil class, engineering, council conditions, finishes selections and market conditions will change the outcome. Always confirm with a licensed builder or quantity surveyor before you commit.

Assumptions & risks
Indicative only. Rates are a published Australian residential rate book (ex-GST, supply & install) adjusted for state, location, specification, soil and slope. Provisional sums are AI-suggested allowances and must be confirmed. GenAiMakers is not a builder, quantity surveyor, valuer or credit provider. Plan images are sent to generate the estimate and are not kept as plan files; if you leave an email we store it with the project name and total.
