- How Does ProCalc stay up to date with prices?
The ProCalc algorithm is based on Australian builders’ costing methods & materials costs.
To calibrate with the market place, it’s been tested against hundreds of projects that architects and designers have tendered to real competitive builders’ tenders.
We continue to test and calibrate against the market on a monthly basis to ensure ProCalc stays in touch with market trends.
Additionally, we obtain regular market data reports from architects, designers, builders, Australian Bureau of Statistics and Housing Industry Association.
These data are compiled in ProCalc’s monthly Construction Trend Update.

2. My estimate seems a bit high (or low). How can I check it?
In the first instance, please check each of the variables and selections you keyed into the form (which are re-produced) in your ProCalc PDF Report against your design.
If you can’t identify anything that needs changing, please contact richard@procalc.com.au and we’ll do a 1-on-1 zoom call the step through your design.

3. Do I use internal or external measurements?
Both internal and external will work but we suggest external as it’s better to over-estimate at the early stages of design (and avoid unhappy client surprises in the future)
