job on it.

Structify reads your drawings, measures the building and prices every trade, then runs your tenders, commitments, variations and claims off that same number. Nothing retyped, nothing guessed.

Your first run is free and needs no card. The full build-up is the paid part.

SH-02The shift

Construction software used to wait for you to type the job in.

Every system before this one starts with an empty project you fill in by hand. Structify starts from your drawings, which already say what you are building.

BeforeYou read the setYou type the job in, and the software manages what you typed.
StructifyStructify reads the setIt measures the building and sets the job up. You make the decisions.
SUPERSEDED
Rev A · The setup workshop

“We'll build your systems for you.”

You get templates, and you still type every job into them yourself.

SUPERSEDED
Rev B · The digital ruler

“Just trace the walls on screen.”

You still measure every wall yourself, just on a screen instead of on paper.

SUPERSEDED
Rev C · The AI wrapper

“AI-powered estimates in seconds.”

Nothing was measured, so you cannot check where the number came from.

SUPERSEDED
Rev D · The job management app

“Run your whole business in one place.”

It tracks the job, but the estimate is still whatever you typed in.

FOR CONSTRUCTION

The current issue: Structify

Sets itself upUpload the plans and the job sets itself up. No workshop, no data entry.
Measures the buildingThe takeoff is done when the upload is. You never trace a wall on screen.
Runs the job on that numberTenders, commitments, variations and claims all answer to that one number.

Most builders run a job across seven systems and copy the numbers between them by hand.

SH-03The baseline

The estimate becomes the baseline for the whole job.

Most software treats the estimate as a document you send once. Here it stays live. Twelve weeks in, every tender, commitment, variation and claim still answers to it.

Measure the building once, properly, and the rest of the job runs on that number. You see the moment anything moves away from it.

SH-04Scope of works

Every kind of build is measured the same way.

One engine measures new homes, duplexes, townhouses, apartments, fit-outs and renos. Hundreds of tenders have already been priced through it.

SH-05Under the hood

Three things that make the estimate right

The hard part is the quantity surveying underneath the AI. Structify does it properly, shows the working, and keeps that number for the rest of the job.

A measurement engine

Room sizes, wall perimeters, window and door schedules, wet areas and cabinetry runs, all worked out as real geometry the way a quantity surveyor does it. Never floor area times a rate.

Every quantity carries its drawing reference

Live Australian rates

Rates follow today's market by suburb and level of finish. Your own rate card is mapped in and used ahead of ours.

Priced with your rates, for your suburb, this month

AI does the reading

It reads 38 sheets in minutes, tells you the landscape drawings never came, and catches the scope a subbie left out. The numbers come from measurement, not from the AI.

Every line says measured or allowance
SH-06Check the numbers

Check every number against your own drawings.

Touch any line and the drawing shows you exactly where that number came from.

SAMPLE EXTRACT · = CHECKED AGAINST THE DRAWING · EVERY REAL ESTIMATE LINE CARRIES ITS SHEET REF

That row sits under every measured trade. A trade that was not measured does not get one, and the line says whether it was an allowance or a rate.

SH-07Where the margin goes

Six places a job loses money,
and how Structify catches each one.

Six moments where a job gets more expensive, each put in front of you while you can still act.

The leakA subbie quote that's light on scope
Where it gets caughtLevelled against your baseline before you award. The one missing the LVL beams reads+15.1%, not cheapest.
The leakAn award above what you allowed
Where it gets caughtThe variance hits the register the moment you award, trade by trade.
The leakA supplier bill above what you signed for
Where it gets caughtYou see the sums first, and approving records the overrun rather than moving the commitment.
The leakAn allowance that cost more than the allowance
Where it gets caughtThe difference goes to the client as its own variation, an under-run as a credit.
The leakA revision that changed the cost
Where it gets caughtWhat changed, what it costs, and which quotes just went out of date.
The leakA variation nobody wrote down
Where it gets caughtBuilt from priced lines, signed by name. Only an approved one moves the contract sum.

Every quote checked against a measured baseline

Most tools compare quotes with each other, which only tells you who was cheapest. Structify compares each one against what the drawings say the work is.

Every later cost on the job is checked against the measured baseline.

SH-08Contract movements

Three things move a contract sum.
Structify records each one as a document.

It moves when you award a package, agree a change, or settle an allowance. Most builders track that across a spreadsheet, an email thread and memory.

SH-13Straight answers

Straight answers to the questions builders ask.

What builders ask before they upload a set.

RFI-01

What do I actually need to upload?

The PDF set your architect already sends. A CC set is ideal, a DA set works.No CAD files, no models.

RFI-02

What do I get before I pay?

Your first job is measured free, no card. You get the price band and one fully worked trade. The full build-up, the exports and the tender packs are the paid part.

RFI-03

How accurate is it?

Every quantity carries the sheet it came from, so you can check it yourself. Where the drawings do not say, the line is an allowance. We do not publish an accuracy percentage, because one number across every job type means nothing.

RFI-04

What happens if it reads something wrong?

It comes back flagged for you to check, not guessed at. Nothing counts until you approve it.

RFI-05

Who can see my rates and my margin?

Nobody. Your rates beat ours wherever you have them, and your client's page is built only from the fields they may see. Your costs, your subbies and your margin are not in it at all.

RFI-06

Can my bookkeeper work with it?

Claims and approved variations export as a CSV they map on import. Nothing leaves until you download it. Xero sync is next.

RFI-07

Am I locked in?

No. It is month to month, and your data exports in one click, any time.

RFI-08

Do my subbies have to sign up or pay?

Neither. You text them a link, they open it on any phone, and everything they send waits for your approval. It is free for them, forever.
