about BuildIQ

Smarter quotes for NZ tradies and homeowners

BuildIQ is a lightweight tool that uses AI and Quantity Surveyor logic to make accurate, transparent cost estimates - from blueprint to bottom line.

Our Mission

BuildIQ bridges the gap between tradespeople and clients. Using OCR, AI, and real-world QS data, we turn rough sketches and architectural plans into fast, fair, and professional estimates.

Whether you're quoting a deck or budgeting a reno, BuildIQ ensures you're pricing with confidence - no surprises, no guesswork.
