A smarter first step for website enquiries
Give customers a useful ballpark. Get better enquiries back.
BuildPath is a branded project estimator that sits on your building website. A customer answers a few questions, sees a starting price range based on your business settings, then chooses whether to send their details, notes and photos to you.

Ready for a more useful first conversation
How it works
Three steps. One better enquiry.
BuildPath gives a potential customer useful guidance before they are ready to call, then gives you the context needed to decide the right follow-up.
02 · UNDERSTAND
They see a starting ballpark
The customer gets an immediate range based on your setup, clearly labelled as guidance rather than a quote.

You receive a useful enquiry
If they want to continue, their details, scope, photos and the range they saw are sent directly to you.
The customer gets clarity. You get context. Final pricing stays with you.
Value on both sides
Useful for customers. Valuable for builders.
The tool improves the first step without trying to replace the conversation, site visit or proper quote that comes later.
For the customer
Understand the likely budget before calling.
- Get a clear starting range within minutes
- See whether the project may fit their budget
- Add notes and photos so the builder understands the job
- Choose whether to share their details and take the next step
For the builder
Start with a better-informed potential customer.
- Qualify budget fit before spending time going back and forth
- Receive project type, scope, notes and photos upfront
- Know what range the customer has already seen
- Give website visitors a professional next step, even when you are on site
Why the range is useful
A generic calculator guesses. BuildPath uses your settings.
Your rates, margins, job categories and risk rules shape the range, checked against your completed job examples and operating costs.

Illustrative comparison only. Actual ranges depend on each business and project setup.
The point is not to quote online. It is to give the customer a starting range that is useful enough to support a sensible first conversation.
Different jobs need different treatment. Unclear, complex or higher-risk work can be flagged for direct discussion instead of forcing an unreliable number.
Always a ballpark
The customer is told clearly that the range is guidance, not a fixed or binding quote.
Complex work is flagged
Consents, structural work and unclear scope can be routed to a real conversation.
You control final pricing
BuildPath supports the enquiry. Your normal assessment and quoting process still decides the price.
