What It Is

estiMedes targets construction estimating use cases and offers two types of services: outsourced Construction Estimates and Quantity Surveyor work handled by its team, and Estimeno 2.0, its construction estimating software. The website highlights that it has estimated 1027 projects, has 157 long-term clients, and is supported by 7 cost estimators for day-to-day delivery. Its positioning is geared more toward building contractors, renovation companies, and engineering teams that need fast quotes.

Core Features and Product Capabilities

Based on the available content, its estimate files include fairly complete project quotation information: materials can be calculated according to the length of specific work activities, and parameters such as employee hourly rates and project complexity can be adjusted. Each estimate also includes a project report covering margin, profit, expected project duration, and a breakdown of total labor, materials, and equipment. Estimeno 2.0 focuses on a “Quantity Only” method and claims it can create professional estimates in around 15 minutes. It supports generating estimates on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops, and allows users to turn individual estimating elements on or off.

Pricing and Service Model

Estimeno 2.0 does not disclose subscription pricing, plan tiers, free trial, or free version information. The QS outsourcing pricing is clearer: Yellow QS provides full-time coverage at 8 hours/day, Monday to Friday, for €800+VAT/week; Blue QS provides 4 hours/day for €400+VAT/week; Green QS provides 2 hours/day for €200+VAT/week. Its key selling point is that hiring a QS long term can save at least 50% compared with paying per individual estimate.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a clearly defined vertical focus, built around construction estimating, profit calculation, and labor/material/equipment breakdowns, which fits well with contractor bidding and project quotation workflows. It also offers human outsourcing, which has practical value for companies handling a high volume of quote requests. The downside is that, as a SaaS/enterprise software product, the website does not explain key areas such as third-party integrations, team permissions, audit trails, security and compliance, APIs, data import/export, or payment methods, making it difficult to judge the product’s maturity.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is better suited to UK or European contractors working on construction, renovation, extension, and refurbishment projects, as well as small and mid-sized teams without an in-house QS. Chinese users involved in overseas construction projects may want to monitor it, but should confirm its pricing methodology, language support, tax handling, payment options, and access stability. Based on the current text, it is not possible to determine direct accessibility from mainland China, so users should test network access before starting a trial. Local alternatives may include Glodon, Pinming, Luban, and other cost estimation or construction management tools.
