Cordell Estimator Features

The software streamlines estimation through automated cost calculations that factor in labor, materials, and timelines. This reduces manual input, ensures greater accuracy, and accelerates the quoting process for construction professionals handling diverse project scopes.

See How It Works

Cordell Estimator draws from over 50 years of Australian market research to provide real-time pricing data. This helps users generate region-specific estimates that reflect material availability, labor rates, and regulatory compliance, minimizing underquoting risks.

See How It Works

Users can access a library of prebuilt estimating “recipes” to structure quotes faster. These templates standardize pricing across jobs, reduce setup time, and improve consistency—especially helpful for firms managing repeat project types or multiple estimators.

See How It Works

Built-in collaboration features allow teams to work together on estimates in real time. This enhances transparency, reduces duplication of effort, and keeps everyone aligned from scoping to submission, especially in larger teams or cross-functional workflows.

See How It Works

Cordell Estimator features tools for cost benchmarking and data-driven reporting, enabling users to compare project estimates against historical data. This supports better decision-making during feasibility studies and allows teams to maintain profitability thresholds more confidently.

Super happy with this product

Pros

I'm totally happy with the product and the on call training AND it's been a really good experience. I like that I can connect it with my accounting package or I can just use the job cost analysis. Both options make it really handy for keeping things organized.

Cons

The only downside is the pricing which feels a bit too high for us small builders. I really think they should do something to reward the regular subscribers.

Solid product and Good support

Pros

I am new to it but I honestly think the integration with PlanSwift works really well for takeoffs. I'd definitely recommend checking out the Cordell TAB 1.1 because it's been really helpful for me.

Cons

If I had to point out something, it would be that moving items in bulk on the estimate could be a lot easier. It'd be nice if there was a simple way to shift things up and down without so much effort.
