01The platform

One platform from the first estimate to the final invoice.

Most builders run calculations in spreadsheets and projects in five other tools. Calcrete keeps them together, so the numbers you win with are the numbers you build with.

Calculation

Price any job in hours, not days

Takeoff, assemblies, live material prices and markups in one sheet that your whole estimating team shares.

Explore calculation

Project management

Run every project from one live plan

The winning calculation becomes your budget, schedule and task list, and every change flows straight back into the numbers.

02Why Calcrete

Built the way builders actually work.

Every feature started in a real tender room or on a real site. Not a generic project tool dressed up in a hard hat.

Book a demoSee how it works
  • 01

    Precise takeoffs

    Measure areas, lengths and counts straight on PDF drawings. Quantities flow into the calculation automatically.

  • 02

    Reusable assemblies

    Build a wall, slab or roof once with its labour, materials and equipment, then reuse it on every job.

  • 03

    Live material prices

    Connect supplier price lists so every estimate uses today's prices, not last quarter's.

  • 04

    Margin control

    Set markups per trade, add risk and contingency, and see your margin before the tender leaves the office.

  • 05

    Schedules from the bid

    Turn the winning calculation into a budget and a schedule in one click. Nothing gets typed in twice.

  • 06

    Site app for crews

    Daily logs, photos, hours and checklists from the field, synced the moment there is signal.

  • 07

    Change orders that add up

    Price changes with the same assemblies, get them signed, and watch the budget update itself.

  • 08

    Reports leaders trust

    Budget versus actual, cash flow and margin for every project, updated as the work happens.

03Calculation

04Project management

Your bid becomes the budget. Your budget runs the site.

When a tender is won, Calcrete turns the calculation into a schedule, a budget and a list of tasks. Everyone works from the same numbers, from the office to the scaffold.

Win more of the right work

Compare tender versions, reuse real costs from finished projects, and hand a ready budget to the site team the day you win.

  • Tender versions side by side
  • Real costs from finished jobs
  • A ready budget the day you win

05How it works

From tender to handover in one connected flow.

Every step hands its numbers to the next, so nothing gets retyped and nothing gets lost between the office and the site.

  1. Step 01

    Take off

    Upload drawings and measure quantities, or import a bill of quantities from Excel.

  2. Step 02

    Calculate

    Price every line with your own assemblies, supplier prices and markups.

  3. Step 03

    Tender

    Send a branded quote and keep every version until the client signs.

  4. Step 04

    Build

    The calculation becomes the budget, the schedule and the task list automatically.

  5. Step 05

    Close out

    The final account and real costs feed straight back into your next calculation.

Every finished project makes your next estimate sharper.

Customer story

Tender turnaround cut from nine days to three.

Nordvik's estimators used to rebuild every calculation from old spreadsheets. With shared assemblies and live supplier prices, they now bid on more projects with the same team, and hand a finished budget to the site the day the contract is signed.

  • Our estimators used to spend half the week chasing prices. Now they spend it winning work.

    Sofia BrandtEstimating Manager, Strata Civil

  • Change orders used to turn into a fight at the final account. Now they're priced and signed the same week, and the budget just updates.

  • I can see the margin on every project before my first coffee is finished. That alone paid for Calcrete in the first month.

10FAQ

Questions builders ask us.

Cannot find your answer? Book a demo and ask us directly.

Calcrete is a construction platform that combines calculation (estimating, takeoff and tendering) with project management (schedules, budgets, change orders and site logs). The calculation you win with becomes the budget you build with.

General contractors, builders, specialist trades and developers. Teams from three people to several hundred use it, on everything from single-family homes to large commercial projects.

No. Calcrete imports from Excel and PDF drawings and connects to accounting, payroll and file storage, so you can start with one project and grow from there.

Most teams send their first tender from Calcrete within two weeks. We import your price lists and set up your first assemblies together with you.
