EstiMate news 2026: Manchester address and BIM World

EstiMate's business and postal address is now the Piccadilly Business Centre, Unit C, Aldo Enterprise Park, Blackett Street, Manchester M12 6AE. Support stays on email at support@esti-mate.app and pricing is unchanged. Earlier, in September, EstiMate announced its stand at BIM World Copenhagen. Both announcements are below, newest first.

28 October 2026: a Manchester address

EstiMate has always been a Manchester and Cheshire story. It was built by a builder who was tired of being the software, tested on real jobs across Greater Manchester, and priced for the trades who work here. From this week it has a Manchester address to match.

The address

Post and official correspondence for EstiMate now go to the Piccadilly Business Centre, a few minutes from Manchester Piccadilly station. Mark anything you send for our attention so it reaches the right desk:

• FAO EstiMate App
• Piccadilly Business Centre
• Unit C, Aldo Enterprise Park
• Blackett Street
• Manchester M12 6AE

That is the address you will find in the footer of every page on this site, on the about page and on the enquiry page. It is also the address in our public company record, so if you need it for a supplier form, an invoice or a contract, it is the one to use.

Why Manchester

Most of the builders, joiners, electricians and plumbers using EstiMate are in the North West, and most of the tenders and planning applications TenderPilot surfaces for them are posted by councils, housing associations and NHS trusts across Greater Manchester and Cheshire.

Being based in the city the work comes from is not a branding exercise. It is where the founder still prices and runs jobs, and where the product gets its reality checks.

It also puts EstiMate next to the people we want to work with: the regional contractors who need job costing that matches their accountant, the small firms who want a quote the client can accept and pay online, and the sole traders who just want the invoicing and CIS done properly.

What is not changing

• Support is still email first. Write to support@esti-mate.app and a person who knows the app replies. That is faster than post and it is how we keep the free plan free.
• Sales, partnerships and press go to hello@esti-mate.app.
• Pricing is unchanged. The free plan still covers your first three jobs a month, and membership still starts at £15.99.
• The product is still built and supported from the North West by the same small team.

If you are a Manchester builder

If you price work within an hour of the city, two things are worth a look. TenderPilot shows you the live public-sector tenders and the local planning applications near your postcode, scored for fit, with alerts when something new lands. And the free calculators give you a quick sanity check on a quote before you commit to it.

If you would rather talk than read, use the enquiry page and tell us what you are pricing. We are in Manchester. We will understand the job.

10 September 2026: a stand at BIM World Copenhagen

Two years ago, EstiMate was a spreadsheet a joiner built at ten o'clock at night.

The quoting software on the market was designed for quantity surveyor departments and cost consultants — not for the person standing in a customer's kitchen with a tape measure and a van outside. So the job that should have taken ten minutes to price took the whole evening, and the work often went to whoever answered first, not whoever priced it best.

This September, that spreadsheet is on a stand at BIM World Copenhagen.

The Event

BIM World Copenhagen 2026 takes place on 16–17 September at K.B. Hallen, Copenhagen — two days that bring more than 2,500 people from across the Nordic and European built environment together: developers, asset owners, architects, engineers, contractors, and the technology companies trying to make their lives easier. Digital twins, AI, automation and data-driven decisions across the whole building lifecycle.

It is the room where European construction software gets evaluated at scale. And EstiMate has been invited to show what a quoting tool looks like when it is built by someone who has actually carried the materials up the ladder.

What We're Bringing

One message: the fastest accurate quote wins the job.

We will be demonstrating the thing EstiMate does that nothing else on the market does as simply — photograph a room, tap the job type, and hand the customer a properly priced, professionally branded PDF before you have pulled off the drive. Not three days later on a spreadsheet. The same day, from the van.

We will also be talking about the parts of quoting nobody enjoys but everyone loses money on: the variation that never got written down, the structural surprise under the floor, the retention that comes out twelve months late. EstiMate is built around those moments, because a builder lost money on every one of them before he wrote the software.

Come and Find Us

If you are building in construction tech, running a trades business, or specifying software for a contractor — and you can get to K.B. Hallen on 16 or 17 September — come and find the EstiMate stand. Bring your worst quoting horror story; we have almost certainly heard worse.

And if you cannot make Copenhagen, you can try the thing itself right now. PRO90 gives 35% off EstiMate Pro for three months — esti-mate.app.

Built by a builder. Designed for every builder. See you in Copenhagen.
