AI-Assisted Cost Plans for Residential Builders

Truecost is an AI-assisted estimation tool purpose-built for residential builders, replacing hours of spreadsheet work with detailed cost plans in under an hour — from any level of plan or documentation.

One of the biggest challenges in pre-construction is aligning a client’s budget with their vision. When a prospect walks in with a $350k budget and a $850k wishlist, the conversation is painful without data to back it up. Truecost gives builders that data instantly — turning uploaded drawings into itemised cost breakdowns by room, trade, and allowance, using current Australian supplier rates and labour hours. Not benchmark ranges. Real numbers.

Key features include:

AI-powered cost plans — drag and drop plans into Truecost and receive a detailed estimate in under an hour, with more detail returned the more information is uploaded.

Intelligent QS model — builds out rooms, trades, and allowances using Australian supplier rates, with finishes adjustable between standard, medium, and high.

Variation validation — cross-reference subcontractor quotes and validate scope coverage before signing off on variations.

Intuitive data visualisation — easy-to-read dashboards that can be extracted and shared directly with clients.

Builders using Truecost submit tenders faster, protect their margins, convert more clients, and eliminate $2k–$5k external QS fees for every tender.
