Quantity surveyor & estimating services for Melbourne builders

Fixed-fee Bills of Quantities, trade breakdowns and pre-tender estimates for builders in Melbourne and across Victoria. Five business days, delivered by email.

Working with Melbourne builders

Structmate prepares Bills of Quantities and trade breakdowns for Melbourne builders, delivered remotely from Sydney. Distance makes no difference to the fee or the five-day turnaround — the entire process runs by email either way.

What matters when measuring VIC projects

Melbourne's volume townhouse and multi-dwelling market rewards measurement discipline more than almost any other segment in Australia. Where a project involves six or twelve substantially similar units, the difference between measuring it well once and measuring it badly compounds across every dwelling. Repetition is also the single biggest lever on fee, so this kind of work often comes in at the lower end of the range. Victorian builders working under domestic building contracts also tend to need clean, defensible quantities for progress claims, which is where a properly itemised bill earns its cost after the tender is won.

Areas covered

Melbourne CBD and inner suburbs, Wyndham, Casey, Whittlesea, Hume, Melton, Mornington Peninsula, Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo. If your project sits outside these areas, it makes no difference — the work is remote and the fee is the same.

Questions from Melbourne builders

Do you work with builders in Melbourne?

Yes. Structmate works with builders across Melbourne and Victoria. Delivery is fully remote by email, so the fee and the five business day turnaround are identical to any other part of Australia.

Do I pay more because I'm not in Sydney?

No. Because there are no site visits and no travel, location has no effect on the fee. A job in Melbourne is quoted from the same rate card as a job around the corner from us.

How do I send drawings from Melbourne?

By email, or a Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive link if the files are large. Nothing needs to be posted or delivered physically.
