SmarteBuild vs Probuild Comparison: Everything You Need to Know Before Choosing

SmarteBuild is Australian estimating and construction management software for residential and small-commercial builders, and for the estimators, quantity surveyors and trades who price work for them. Price the job, run the job, and get paid for the job, in one system. Take off quantities from PDF drawings, build a bill of quantities, and cost it against your own price lists. Send tender packages to your trades and compare the quotes. Purchase orders come off the same bill of quantities, supplier invoices match back to them, and committed cost shows against budget while you can still act on it. Progress claims and variations run off the contract the estimate created. Built for Australian practice: progress claims by contract stage, PC and PS allowances, GST and margin on the item, and call-ups for subcontracted trades. It also covers the programme, site diary, timesheets, checklists and safety, defects, colour selection, documents, messages and a client portal, with Xero integration. One price covers the whole company: unlimited users, storage and projects. Estimator is A$189 a month and Builder A$379, both including GST, with annual billing at ten months for twelve. The free 30-day trial opens every module, needs no credit card, and there is no lock-in contract. Developed with more than 100 Australian builders and teams from the Queensland University of Technology. Made and supported in Brisbane.
