About this app

BuildMaster is the estimating toolkit built for South African builders, contractors and homeowners. Price a job, work out your materials and send a professional quote - all from your phone, on site or in the office.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

- Trade calculators: concrete, brickwork & walls, plaster, screed, tiling, paint and roofing. Enter your dimensions and get materials and quantities using standard SA trade conventions, with mix ratios and waste allowances.

- Bills of quantities: turn your measurements into a clear, itemised BoQ you can hand to a client or supplier.

- Quotes & estimates: build estimates with your own material prices, override any line, and present a clean total. Your business details appear on the output.

- Material price list: keep your own up-to-date prices for cement, bricks, sand, paint and more, so every estimate reflects what you actually pay.

- Projects: group estimates, BoQs and calculations by job so nothing gets lost between sites.

- Ask the BuildMaster: a built-in construction expert for quick questions on materials, mixes, methods and SA building practice (NHBRC, SANS, National Building Regulations).

- Construction news: stay current with industry headlines.

- Works across your devices: your data syncs so you can start on site and finish at the office.
