Carefully crafted features

Key features designed to help you work smarter.

Build Structured, Resource-Based Rates

Create clean, consistent rates using labour, materials, plant, subcontract, and other cost components. Rate Builder helps you break work items down properly, ensuring every price you produce is transparent and easy to adjust.

Create and Manage Your Own Rate Library

Store your rates in a searchable, organised library that grows with your workflow. Duplicate, edit, or refine existing rates to build a catalogue of repeatable pricing you can rely on job after job.

Fast Editing and On-The-Fly Adjustments

Quickly change quantities, resource costs, or markup values and see updated totals instantly. Perfect for refining rates, exploring options, or responding to last-minute pricing changes.

Copy, Tweak, and Standardise Rates

Turn a single rate into multiple variations with different specifications or quantities. Copying and modifying items makes it easy to maintain consistent pricing across projects or teams.

Export Ready-to-Use Rates

Export your finished rate items into clean, usable formats for BOQs, estimating systems, spreadsheets, or internal templates. Your work stays structured and ready for whatever system you use next.

Offline, Lightweight, and No Learning Curve

Metre2 Rate Builder works entirely on your device — no accounts, no cloud, no clutter. A simple, focused interface means you can start building rates immediately without setup or configuration.
