"Building Cost": Online Construction Estimator Tool
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
I want to build an online tool that provides instant estimates for building costs across Australia, tailored to regional pricing and project types like new builds, extensions, or second-story additions.
The website will be called 'Building Cost’ and will cover all of Australia.
The app will be a functional tool for my architectural clients, not a ‘pretty’ app for the public.
I will need to request an overall specification, for the projects, that include floor types, roof types, external finishes, sub-floor areas, etc. Allow for multiple types to be selected per project.
Then I intend to use a modular costing system, to cost each room type (bathrooms, kitchens, lounge rooms, bedrooms), position (ground floor, lower ground floor, upper floor) and size. The client will be asked to nominate the rooms in their project.
I will calculate the combined costs for rooms, and add them into the app, rather than have the app calculate them. I want to keep the app simple for now.
I will be charging my clients to use the app before they start putting the data in.
The input data, from my clients, will be mostly check-boxes, and some measurements.
Please use Stripe for payment.
Use a simple email/password for registration.
I will supply pricing as a spreadsheet import
The design style should be a clean, minimal, professional interface. Some color would be nice but I don't envisage any animation, etc.
The cost calculation output will be onscreen as a 'room by room’ breakdown, for review, and then final a 'room by room' and a 'trade by trade' output in downloadable pdf format, when complete.
