Track Estimates, Manage Workload, and Bill Accurately — Built for Cost Estimators

Abtrac helps Cost Estimators capture time, organise and track all stages of each estimate, and invoice with confidence, giving you more clarity, control, and profitability in every project.

Abtrac for Cost Estimators

Clarity and control from feasibility costing to final tender submission

As a Cost Estimator, you juggle multiple tenders, tight deadlines, shifting scopes, and constant requests for revisions. Whether you’re preparing feasibility budgets, detailed take-offs, BOQs, or tender analyses, each estimate demands accuracy, speed, and clear documentation.
But managing dozens of project files, versions, emails, and incoming data can become overwhelming. Without the right system, time disappears, scope creep goes unnoticed, and tracking profitability becomes guesswork.

Abtrac gives Cost Estimators clarity and control — helping you track time, manage estimating workflows, handle documentation, and invoice with confidence. It’s designed to support how estimators really work.

How Abtrac Helps Cost Estimators

Capture Estimating Time With Accuracy

Record hours spent on feasibility studies, detailed estimates, BOQs, tender reviews, and client communication. Whether you’re in the office, onsite, or travelling, the Abtrac mobile app ensures every billable and non-billable hour is captured in real time.

Bring Structure to Estimates, Tenders, and Pricing Workflows

Break each estimate into clear phases — preliminary costing, detailed take-offs, value engineering, and final submission. Assign tasks, set deadlines, and track progress across multiple tenders so nothing slips past tight bidding timeframes.

Bill the Way Your Estimating Work Operates

Invoice hourly, per estimate, per project phase, or as part of a wider contract. Abtrac supports multiple charge-out rates based on staff role, stage, or task, making it easy to align your invoicing with how you deliver estimating services.

See Financial Clarity With WIP & Performance Reporting

Monitor time spent per estimate, track tender conversion rates, and understand margins and productivity. Abtrac’s reporting gives Cost Estimators and managers visibility over WIP, estimate profitability, disbursements, and team efficiency.

Plan Ahead With Forecasting & Workload Insights

Use forecasting tools to understand upcoming tenders, workload peaks, billing projections, and capacity. Know when to allocate more estimating hours or bring in additional support so deadlines are met without overloading the team.

Keep Teams Aligned With Shared Documents & Version Control

Store links to BOQs, supplier pricing, scope notes, revisions, and supporting documentation within each project. Abtrac reduces version errors and keeps estimators, engineers, and project teams working from the latest information.

Stay in Control of Budgets, Alerts, and Approvals

Track internal estimating budgets, monitor costs, and receive alerts when time or spend approaches limits. Manage approvals, track changes, and maintain a clear audit trail — ideal for compliance, tender transparency, and client review.

Include Every Expense

Capture all costs that feed into your estimates.
Every disbursement matters when calculating project costs. Track expenses like site inspections, printing BOQs, subcontractor quotes, surveys, and travel. Download job costs from external databases or creditor invoices from your accounting software to ensure all tender-related costs are captured and visible in your estimates.

Integrate with your accounting software

Sync jobs, estimates, invoices, payments, and payroll between Abtrac and your accounting package. Ensure feasibility studies, BOQs, and tender-related billing remain accurate, streamlined, and fully up to date.
