Our Story

Every great solution starts with firsthand experience of the problem.

Build Metric was born from countless late nights and missed weekends – something our founders knew all too well. As an electrical contractor and a builder, they lived the challenge that thousands of construction business owners face: balancing quality project delivery with the endless hours spent on estimating and tender documents.

We’d finish a full day on site, come home to our families, and then spend hours hunched over plans trying to get quotes out,” says Luke, who ran his electrical contracting business for 9 years. “We knew there had to be a better way.

That better way became Build Metric

Partnering with Brett, a builder with 22 years of experience, they set out to create the tool they wished they’d had: a service that would handle the entire estimating process while maintaining the quality and attention to detail that only fellow tradies could understand.

We didn’t want to just build another software package that still required hours of work,” explains Brett. “We wanted to give construction business owners their lives back while helping them grow their businesses. Having been in their shoes, we knew exactly what was needed.

Today, Build Metric serves contractors across the country, transforming after-hours estimation work into a simple upload-and-receive process. Our mission remains clear: give construction business owners back their evenings and weekends while helping them win more work through high-quality, professional quotes.
