AI estimating · Services trades · AU

Read the job.
Catch what's missed.

TradeScope reads every drawing, spec, schedule and addendum in your tender pack. It cross-checks them, flags what's missing, prompts the hidden items, and gets it all priced against today's supplier numbers — before the quote goes out.

"We missed twelve grand in brackets on a commercial fitout. The main scope was right, the little stuff got us. Next tender, we built this. Now no quote leaves without a second pass."

02 · How it works

Four stages.
One engine.

Drop a tender pack in. Walk out the other side with a quote your estimator can sign their name to. Every stage is shown — nothing disappears into a black box.

01 · Intake

Drop the tender

Drag the whole pack in, forward it from your inbox, or connect the tender portal. Drawings, specs, schedules, addenda all classified automatically.

02 · Extract

See the scope

The job turns into a structured scope tree — per trade, per system, per circuit, per stack. Every item links back to the page it came from.

03 · Catch

Flag the gaps · Draft the RFIs

Plans cross-checked against schedules, schedules against specs, per-trade against compliance. Missing items, schedule mismatches, hidden prompts, cross-scope items the head contractor expects you to cover — all surfaced, with draft RFIs ready to send before the contract is signed.

04 · Price

Ship the quote

Assemblies priced against today's supplier numbers. Commercial review, inclusions/exclusions, versioned export. Won job flows straight into accounting — no re-keying.

03 · Built for four trades

One engine.
Four trade packs.

Same AI. Same scope-gap brain. Same supplier network. Different language, different compliance, different assembly library — loaded as configuration, not as a different product.

04 · Cross-checked against the rules that matter

Built for
Australia's standards.

Every item on every quote is cross-checked against the actual Australian standards that govern the trade. Not a generic US compliance library rebranded. Not a consultant's summary. The real AS/NZS references, updated when the standards update.

Standards update, TradeScope updates. When AS/NZS 3500 refreshed in 2025, every plumbing quote in the platform picked up the new backflow rules the same week. No manual rule-library maintenance. No compliance lag. The governing-body references flow into every scope-gap check automatically.
05 · ROI calculator

The margin you're
quietly leaking.

Industry benchmarks show 15–25% margin erosion per project affected by a scope gap. This is what that looks like on your book.

Est. monthly margin leak
$18,000/mo

Based on 1.8 won jobs per month at 5% avg scope-gap rate. Equivalent to $216,000 of annual margin disappearing into addendums, fixture mismatches, and compliance items that never made it into the quote.

06 · Live supplier pricing

Today's numbers,
not last quarter's.

Every quote prices against live AU wholesaler pricing. Rexel, MMEM, Bunnings Trade, Lawrence & Hanson. Your own pricebooks on top. Best price gets flagged automatically — the contractor just picks.

One wholesaler integration covers all four trades. When Reece moves, your plumbing, HVAC and fire quotes move with it. No manual pricebook refresh. No stale numbers.

07 · Three more things TradeScope does

Where most tools
quietly stop.

RFIs drafted before contract signing. Scope creep caught before it's yours. Budget ranges benchmarked against jobs priced through the network — so you know what the number should be before you quote it.

RFI generation

Draft RFIs before you sign.

Every scope gap, every ambiguity, every cross-trade item the head contractor expects you to cover — surfaced with a drafted RFI ready to send. You clarify before the contract is signed, not after you're already on the hook.

RFIs drafted · Ready to send
RFI-01 · Cross-scope Head-contractor spec §8.2 assumes sparky covers MSSB Level 2. Drawing set doesn't show it. Confirm or transfer.
RFI-02 · Compliance Emergency luminaires required by AS/NZS 3000 Cl 2.6.3. Not shown on drawings. Confirm inclusion.
RFI-03 · Schedule mismatch Fixture schedule shows 54 troffers, plan shows 48. Which count prices?
Beyond your usual subbies

Expand every tender.

You don't have to rely only on the suppliers you already know. TradeScope opens every tender to the wider supplier network — on-spec items plus alternatives that save money, all scoped against the drawing so nothing gets creep-quoted in after you've won.

Alternatives surfaced · Same spec · Lower cost
NHP panel (on-spec) $4,280
Clipsal equivalent $3,990 -$290
Hager equivalent $3,870 -$410
Direct-import equivalent $3,410 -$870
Benchmark the job

Know the number before you quote.

Ask what a 7-storey mid-tier tower typically prices at. The platform looks across jobs of similar scope, storey count, class and region — de-identified — and gives you a high-to-low budget range so you know what the number should be before you write it down.
