Build Clean

## Take estimating into your own hands

We all know what happens when you rely on the builder to calculate measurements right? That work order was for 300 sqr meters. Then why is there actually 350?

With the time it’s likely taking you to get those quotes out the door, no wonder it’s tempting to take the builders word for it. The accuracy of these measurements affects your margins, and what’s the point of doing a job if you’re not making money?!

Alternatively, you have the opportunity to employ a professional estimator to do your plasterboard calculations for you, as Groundplan is a cloud-based software and can be used anywhere. At any stage you can login and watch the estimate taking shape, while you get some of that well-deserved down time.

## Measure square meterage or linear lengths

Often, a wall is not just a wall. You can subtract window dimensions for the area that does not need to be plastered. You can add ceilings and walls, subtract windows and doors to calculate square meterage, and then there’s your beading…

So, you’ll need to make some measurements based on linear lengths.

Sorry, but there’s no more need for that trusty plan wheel. Set your scale inside Groundplan and use the mouse to quantify your lengths.

That’s it! Your done.

## Impress your clients

Put your best foot forward – don’t quote cheap, quote with accuracy and impress those clients with the best estimating software available for quoting your next plastering job.

The list of features that bring your estimate to life are countless:
