What you get

Why builders choose EstiMate

The diary that takes two minutes

Weather, who was on site, deliveries, work carried out, problems and visitors — from the phone at the end of the day, with photos attached. Voice notes are transcribed so the record gets written even when hands are dirty.

  • Weather and workforce
  • Photos and voice notes
  • Problems and delays logged

RFIs, NCRs and quality

Formal questions to the designer, non-conformance reports and quality inspections with photos and sign-offs, each numbered and dated on the job.

  • RFI register with answers
  • Non-conformance reports
  • Inspection checklists

Progress reports clients love

One tap compiles the week or month — diary entries, photos, milestones, snags — into a branded PDF with an AI summary, emailed to the client and the office together.

  • Weekly / monthly
  • Photo timeline
  • AI-written summary

Evidence when it matters

Delays, weather days, late decisions and site conditions are recorded as they happen. If a claim or dispute comes, the diary and photos are the case.

  • Dated, timestamped entries
  • Programme baseline vs live
  • Exportable record

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can my workers fill in the diary?

Yes — share the job with a worker by QR code or link and they can add diary entries, photos, time and expenses for that job from their phone.

Are photos geotagged and dated?

Photos taken through the app carry date and, where allowed, location, and are stored against the job.

Can I send a progress report to the client?

Yes — compile a report for any period with one tap and email it as a branded PDF.

Which plan includes the site diary?

Site records are part of the EstiMate plan and above; progress reports and quality tools are on Pro.
