User Testimonials


Pete Bevington - Sales Manager: Letts Construction

Alan McQuarters introduced me to the Buildaprice software back in February 2013. It was at this early point I was sold on its value. Anyone can cost accurately the materials in a job given enough time. Like most I did not have a lot of time to cost a job and was happy to outsource this work for a small fee. The key added value for me was the software’s ability to determine how many construction hours are going to be required on a job. This happened quickly and with little input from me. This information could then be used by our project managers to create construction plans and order materials.

Over the past few months, I have seen the software evolve to add “Notice to tenderers” functionality and a vast number of useful templates of “stuff that we all forget about but will need”. I am genuinely excited about additional improvements over the coming months.

Buildaprice is now an integral part of our business model. It has given us more cost certainty on the labour variable we all seek to manage. It allowed us to centralize all our costing activities. But more importantly, it allows us to get out of the office to build and sell buildings with confidence knowing our costing’s are right every time.


Jeremy Cox – Owner and Operation: JDC Builders Limited

I have been using builda price now for 12 months. It has improved my estimation process 100% What I love is the amount of detail I can provide to a prospective client. It provides a complete itemised breakdown of the materials and labour provided for a building project. It also includes preliminary and general costs. Items I was not even aware I should have been charging out.

Builda price is easy to use. And saves a lot of time. The ongoing support and training Alan and his team provide are amazing. I would highly recommend Build price to all Members of Certified Builders Association who want an efficient accurate pricing tool.


Scott Crook – Owner and Operator: Construction One

I am now using Builda Price and have just run a million dollar alteration through the system. I spent little more than two hours with Alan, followed up with a few phone calls, I believe I now have the system mastered. The software is simple to use and a breeze to make adjustments to quantities if you feel it’s needed. The training is easy, even if you are a bit slow on the computer uptake. Alan offers great support, only a phone call away.

I would highly recommend Builda Price to anyone who would like to reduce the time spent quoting jobs and more so, reduce the risk of under quoting labour especially when pricing alterations.


Shane Taylor – Owner and Operator: Shane Taylor Construction

I have been using Alan’s Buildaprice Programme for the last 2 years and found it to be a valuable asset to my Company. It has allowed us to do a more accurate costing on our labour content on the job, which up until using the programme, was very much guess work.

I have found the programme simple and easy to use and a good tool to give a printout to my workers onsite as a progress chart expected of them. The programme has saved me from under pricing work and therefore making no money. It also helped me to get jobs by presenting my labour to the client in a transparent way, that is fair and reasonable.

I think this programme is a valuable tool to my Company as there is no future in under pricing jobs and with the market the way it is, we cannot get away with allowing too much labour.

The programme allows me to do a more accurate costing of our labour and allows us to follow progress throughout the job.
