01Tool index
A tool for each moment of decision.
Arranged by where you are: before asking for quotes, while comparing them, during construction, and if the project stalls.
01
Before you ask for a quote
Sort out your files and summarise your project, then send it for review if you wish.
A few short questions that produce a tidy summary of your project and a list of files to prepare.
Runs in your browser
A six-step form to send your project details and files for review.

02
When comparing quotes
Read what each quote covers line by line before you look at the total.
A worksheet that shows what each quote leaves unmentioned or vague. Clarity before price.
Runs in your browser
Compare labor-only with with-materials, item by item: what Constrak includes and what the owner supplies.
On the Structural shell page
Compare vague wording for finishing items with precise fields that can be checked.

During construction
Know what gets checked and decided at each stage, and who is responsible.
Build stages
NewEight stages from ground to key, and what the owner checks and decides at each one.
Runs in your browser
Mandatory checkpoints before pouring, during execution and before handover, with a sample checklist.
On the Quality page
Five stages, each with its inputs, decision, documented output and clear responsibility.
On the Process page
04
If the project has stalled
Read the condition from separate angles before any decision to continue.
Five separate questions to read a project's condition: visible completion, paid completion, defects, documents and what remains.

02How they're built
Tools for understanding, not for selling.
01
Your data stays with you
The tools in this section run inside your browser and send what you enter nowhere. A draft is saved on your device only if you choose.
02
Scope before price
The tools show no prices or durations and never suggest a fair price. Their aim is that what you compare is clear and written down.
03
No substitute for an engineer
General, illustrative guidance. Requirements differ by project and authority, and are confirmed with the licensed engineering office.
