Construction Estimating Services

Cormac was indeed very helpful - providing a detailed construction price range so we knew where to begin by way of commencing our budgeting process. Not many QSs provide such goodwill. Highly recommended

Cormac and team did a very thorough job on a tight timeframe. Very happy with the work.

I recently engaged Cormac to assist with estimating a large residential construction project and was genuinely impressed. His work was thorough and detailed — every line item was considered, nothing was glossed over, and the output gave me real confidence going into the quoting stage. He was also generous with his time, happy to walk through his methodology and answer questions without rushing. That kind of transparency is rare and genuinely useful when you're trying to understand the numbers, not just receive them. I'd recommend Cormac without hesitation to anyone needing accurate, professional estimating on significant volumes of construction work.

Cormac’s advice stood out to me for being clear, honest, and refreshingly transparent, exactly what I was looking for as a person in need of his excellent building knowledge. He took the time to help me understand my options with the situation I was in. This level of care and clarity gave me genuine confidence in the decisions I was making. What I appreciated most was Cormac’s willingness to provide me advice quickly. It made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth, well-managed, and ultimately very reassuring. I would %100 recommend giving him a call!

Matrix gave me some excellent advice regarding a development I was considering on a difficult site. Will use again in the future.

Cormac from Matrix Estimating has delivered a high-level estimate that demonstrates both depth and breadth of understanding. While preliminary in nature, the estimate appears to comprehensively cover the full scope of works, giving us a strong foundation for early-stage planning and decision-making. Cormac’s extensive construction knowledge is clearly evident in the way he approaches costings—his ability to translate technical detail into practical, well-structured estimates is a real asset. The breakdowns are clear and logical, with a level of detail that instils confidence in the numbers, even at this early stage. Communication has been seamless throughout. Cormac is responsive, approachable, and easy to engage with via one-on-one Teams meetings. He takes the time to explain his rationale and is open to feedback, which makes the process collaborative and efficient. Upon completion of the project, I am looking forward to comparing actuals V estimate. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a knowledgeable, professional, and easy-to-work-with estimator who brings clarity and confidence to the early stages of a project.

Highly recommend.

Their advice was clear, honest, and transparent—exactly what I needed as a client. They took the time to explain the details thoroughly, which gave me confidence in the decisions I was making. I really appreciated their professionalism and straightforward communication throughout the process.

I was very pleased with the estimate that Cormac Gray put together for our new build. This will allow me to have confidence in knowing what the final cost of the new house will be and hence arrange finance. Cheers Barry Gilbertson

We highly recommend Matrix Estimating for anyone needing clarity and confidence around building costs. We engaged Matrix Estimating after receiving a builder’s proposal that lacked a clear cost breakdown, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and unable to make a confident decision about proceeding with our build. Cormac completely changed that by delivering a new, detailed, and categorised estimate that brought structure and transparency to the project. He took the time to walk us through the cost breakdown and clearly explained the underlying methodology, including the assumptions and benchmarks used. This enabled us to make informed budget decisions with a solid understanding of where each cost originated. From the outset, Cormac was professional, responsive, and delivered exactly what we needed. His report met our brief perfectly - easy to interpret, methodically structured, and underpinned by industry-standard metrics and evidence-based logic. Thanks to Matrix Estimating, we’re now in a much stronger position to engage with our builder on a definitive, realistic budget. Cormac listened, supported us through the process, and delivered a service that reflects both technical expertise and practical insight.

Great job by Cormac and his team. Very responsive and helpful. Made the quoting process very simple

I have used Matrix Estimating twice now, and my experience has been fantastic. The staff members I encountered were professional and punctual. The presentation was floorless. I will definitely use them a third time.

I needed to find a quantum estimator to provide a cost report for residential property construction on a self built property 20 years ago for CGT purposes. I actually did not know that this is what I needed, but Google led me to the amazing human that is Cormac at Matrix Estimating. He patiently listened to my request and drew out the information required to prepare such a document. The amazing part is that he prepared a detailed report for me to use as a guide (at no charge) and referred me on to an ATO accredited estimator. He then followed up to make sure that I had been successful in getting a report. Cormac you truly are one of a kind and I appreciate your generosity and professional advice. I have no hesitation in recommending your services to others and wish you well in your endeavours to achieve ATO accreditation as well.

Really thorough, genuinely had time for me and an all round great guy. Highly recommend!

Matrix Estimating has been quoting Cavanagh Corp's projects for the past year and half, and we have had a great success rate on winning projects both Commercial and Residential, I feel that with the highly detailed quotes and drawing markups it really gave us an edge over our competitors to win the projects, and we have had great feedback from our clients of how professional our quotations look, I would highly recommend Matrix Estimating.

Matrix Estimating helped us price our home renovation works recently. They were able to provide us with a detailed estimate on each trade after assessing our drawings. The service was professional and the staff were experienced and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Matrix Estimating and would definitely use Cormac and his team again.

Matrix Estimating commenced quoting jobs for my company in May 2019. I found using Matrix Estimating has helped me win more business. Having Matrix Estimating take on the quoting for jobs has given me more time to focus on other aspects of my business. Professional, efficient and high quality work. I would recommend their services to any builder or subcontractor who does not have time to do the estimating themselves.

Matrix estimating has quoted quite a few jobs for us now and we have won 90 percent of the jobs ! Highly recommend if ur looking for someone to quote jobs and you havnt got the time ! 5 stars all the way
