PlansToQuote — New Home Builder Designed

Drag in the architectural set. Walk out with a costed build, a phase plan, and a progress-claim schedule.

The problem

New-home builders waste 1–2 weeks per quote on manual takeoffs.

Estimating spreadsheets are stale by the time they hit the customer. Variations bleed margin during build because the cost plan and the construction schedule aren't joined. The architect's set keeps drifting, the takeoff has to be redone, and by the time the quote lands the customer has gone with whoever was faster. PlansToQuote — New Home Builder collapses the takeoff-to-quote-to-contract loop into a single workflow that holds together from slab to handover.

How it works

Architectural set in. Costed build out.

PDF / DWG plan upload → AI takeoff (slab area, perimeter, openings, fixture count, roof area).
Plan annotation viewer with measure tool — overrides AI when the architect draws creatively.
Auto-populated cost plan from line-item library + supplier catalogues (Bunnings Trade, ITI Frame & Truss, Stratco).
Phase plan: slab → frame → lockup → fix → PC → handover (NCC + AS 2870 aware).
Progress-claim engine — milestone invoices via Stripe, synced to Xero.
Variation register with customer-portal sign-off (photo + price + signature trail).
HIA / Master Builders contract template with auto-populated schedules.
Trade-pack auto-issue to subbies via the Trade Portal — sparky pack, plumber pack, framer pack.

Who it's for

New-home builders running 2–20 builds a year.

Volume builders quoting 22-square specs and one-offs, custom-home builders managing the architect's drift, and small builder/developers who want one record from feasibility through certificate of occupancy. Especially valuable for HIA members on standard contracts who currently re-key the schedule into three different tools.
