Stop faffing around with manual takeoffs! TimberTec’s AI software is built for Aussie tradies, making timber estimation a piece of p..s.

If you’re a builder or chippy here in Oz, you know timber estimation can be a real pain in the a..e.

And don’t even start on the hours lost to manual takeoffs—there’s a better way, mate.

Meet TimberTec - the AI-powered tool that’s taking the hassle out of timber estimation. With TimberTec, you can bin the spreadsheets and give your calculator a break. Just upload your plans, and TimberTec does the hard yakka for you. In minutes, you’ve got a spot-on estimate, letting you crack on with the building work and maybe even knock off a bit earlier. Let’s jump into how TimberTec works and why it’s the best mate a builder could ask for.

Why Manual Estimation is a Dog’s Breakfast

Let’s be honest: estimating timber the old-school way is a nightmare. You’ve gotta pore over plans, measure every nook and cranny, work out your beams, LVLs, and frames, and hope to high heaven you haven’t buggered up the numbers. Spend enough time on it, and you’ll feel like you’re back in high school maths class.

It’s a Bloody Time-Sucker

Doing manual takeoffs is like watching paint dry. Even the most seasoned tradie spends hours on calculations, and for what? So you can second-guess every figure? If the project changes halfway through, it’s back to square one. All that time measuring and calculating could be spent on the tools, where the real action happens.

One Stuff-Up Can Cost You Big

And then there’s the margin for error. Get your figures wrong, and you’ll either end up with a shedload of extra timber you didn’t need or be short when the job’s halfway done. Either way, it’s money down the gurgler and an extra headache you don’t need. Timber estimation is serious business, so why leave it up to chance?
