How it worksPricingFAQBook a 20-min call

Price a tender in 30 minutes, not three days.

AI takeoff and tender pricing, built for Australian subcontractors. Forward in the RFQ email and the drawings — tendr prices the job from your own rates and drafts the methodology, ready for your estimator to review and sign off.

Stop chasing tenders. tendr finds them, prices them & drafts the submission.

Every RFQ you can't price is a job you'll never win.

We knock back six out of ten RFQs before we even price them — we just can't get to them.
My estimator's at his desk till 9pm Thursday for a quote due Friday, and we still missed two scope items.
The director's measuring drawings he can't read, because the estimator's flat out.

Thirty to fifty tenders a year. One estimator. Spreadsheets that should have been retired a decade ago.

How it works

Three steps, and a human signs the number.

1

Forward the RFQ.

Send the head contractor's email and the drawings PDF to your tendr inbox. tendr picks up the scope, the quote-due date and the builder from the email.

tendr does the takeoff, prices it, drafts the methodology.

Quantities come straight off the drawings. Pricing uses your own rate library — not a generic database. You get a priced BOQ and a methodology draft in your format.

Your estimator reviews and signs off.

Nothing leaves your business until a human checks the numbers and the methodology. You send the quote to the builder yourself.

Drawings in, quantities out.

It reads the drawings like an estimator.

Piles, walls, cuts, demo zones — tendr finds them on the drawing and counts them. Number, metres, square metres, cubic metres, all sorted.

Priced from your rates, not a database.

tendr prices the takeoff against your own rate library, so the number looks like your number — not a generic guess.

Every quantity points back to the drawing.

Tap any line in the BOQ and jump to the exact mark it was measured from. When a builder questions a figure six months on, you have the answer in seconds.

tendr doesn't size your rebar or run structural calcs. It does the quantities and the first-pass price. Your engineer and your estimator still own the engineering call.

Case study
My estimator used to spend three days on one tender. Now he gets through the week's lot and still has time to chase the ones worth winning. We're quoting more, and we're winning more.

We used to knock back half the RFQs that came in because there was no time to price them. Now we put a number on the lot, and that is the difference between a quiet month and a full book.

Your rates, your data, your sign-off.

Your rates never leave your business.

Your rate library sits in your account. It is never pooled with other firms, never used to train shared models, never shared. Your rates are your margin — they stay yours.

Your data is hosted in Australia.

Drawings, tenders and rates are stored in Australia and encrypted.

A human signs off every tender.

tendr never sends a quote to a builder on its own. The AI does the slow 90%; your estimator owns the number that goes out.

Pricing

Your first tender is free.

Send a real RFQ, we'll price it and draft the full submission — no card, no commitment. See what tendr does on your own job, then we'll talk through a plan that fits your business.

Questions, sorted.

Every tender is reviewed by your estimator before it leaves. tendr flags anything it's unsure about and shows where each quantity came from on the drawing. You're never signing off a black box.

No. Your rates sit in your account. They're never pooled with other firms, never used to train shared models, never shared. Your rates are your margin — they stay yours.

The drawings PDF and the RFQ email. Add your BOQ template, the scope and any addenda if you have them. tendr uses whatever you send.

Demolition, concrete cutting, piling, soil-nail and shoring, civil, structural steel and earthworks. It doesn't size rebar or run structural calcs — your engineer and estimator still own the engineering call.

Guided by our team, usually about two weeks. Most subbies run their first real tender inside that.

Yes. tendr is built for estimators, not to replace them — it clears the slow takeoff so they spend their time on the call that wins the job. And if a director can't read drawings, tendr gets the tender priced — but a human still signs it off.

In Australia, encrypted. Your drawings, tenders and rates stay yours — never sold, never shared, never used to train shared models.

Your first tender is free — send a real RFQ and see the full submission tendr produces. From there we'll talk through a plan that fits your business.

Ready. Set. Quote.

Bring a real set of drawings to a 20-minute call and we'll show you exactly what tendr sends back. You'll talk to an estimator, not a salesperson. Nothing to install.
