Modern GBQGrace Estimation Method

For builders

Priced scopes from homeowners who already know their budget

Every invitation arrives as a complete priced scope — quantities, materials, the drawings the homeowner chose to share — so you are quoting against something real instead of a phone call and a hunch. You preview for free and pay only when you open a full scope.

Already have an account? Log in. Or read the builder guide first — no account needed.

Why builders use it

Leads that are worth your evening

A scope, not a chat

Quantities, materials chosen line by line, the drawings the owner shared, and the number they already expect. You spend your time pricing, not extracting a brief.

Compared on substance

Responses are compared blind. Six written fields — programme, qualifications, exclusions, alternatives and more — mean you are judged on how you would build it, not on a single figure.

Preview before you pay

Every invitation shows the project, the locality and a summary for free. A lead is charged only when you open the full priced scope — and once opened, it stays open to you.

Run your own projects too

Price your own jobs with the same engine, keep every version, and add your estimator to the project with a role.

How it works

What you actually do

  1. 1

    Get verified

    Register your business and our staff verify it. Until then you can set up your profile, but nothing you do reaches the marketplace.

  2. 2

    Receive invitations

    Your workspace lists what needs a response and by when. You see the project, the site locality and the approved scope line by line.

  3. 3

    Respond on your terms

    Accept, propose a revision, request a discussion, or decline. Six written fields cover programme, qualifications, exclusions and alternatives — so you are not reduced to a single number.

  4. 4

    Win the work

    Responses are compared blind. If you are selected you acknowledge, the owner's details are shared, and the project opens to you. Contracting is between you and the owner.

Plans

Which plan fits

Every plan sees the same invitations and responds the same way; the plans differ only in how many full scopes you can open a month. Prices in Australian dollars, GST included.

A lead is one full priced scope opened for the first time. Reopening it later is free. Unused leads do not carry over.

Questions

What builders ask

What does verification involve?

Our staff check the business you register — name, ABN, licence details — before it can appear in the directory or receive invitations. It is a real check and it happens once.

How do homeowners find me?

Verified builders appear in the directory homeowners invite from. You can also be invited directly to a project you already know about.

What happens if I decline after being selected?

Your rating loses half a point, and the owner is free to select the next response. It is the one rule that protects owners from a wasted round.

Do I pay when I win?

No. No commission, no payment through the platform. You pay for the plan, nothing else.

Can my estimator use my account?

Better: add them as a member of your organisation, and to each project with a role. Everyone works under their own login on the same numbers.

Worth knowing first

The honest limits

Better to read these now than to discover them after signing up.
