Empowering the estimate.

For sole traders and waterproofers

For the people who would rather be on the tools than behind a screen. WPiQ is our own take-off software: custom-built, used in-house, and being developed for release. It's designed by waterproofers to cut the time it takes to produce accurate measurements and mark-ups.

We mark up your drawings in it, work through every area step by step, and hand back a report you can order from. The quantities come from each supplier's documented coverage rates, with the waste allowance kept separate so you can adjust it to suit the job. It's a second set of eyes on the job before anything is ordered.

  1. Take-offs and drawing mark-ups

    Every area traced at scale on your PDF drawings, and traceable back to the sheet it came from.

  2. System options and calculations

    Options checked against the manufacturer's specification, with coverage and quantities worked out.

  3. Reports and order lists

    Bills of quantities, tradie views and whole-pack order lists, ready for a supplier, a builder or a QS.

Watch a take-off

Six steps. Every part of every area.

WPiQ walks every area through the same six steps, each one measured off the trace before it. Pick an area to watch it taken off.

The floor is the easy part. On a balcony, the walls, the door and the overflow are what get missed, so each one has its own step.

Three tools, then six steps. A curved shower wall, a nib wall and the doorway: the shapes most likely to put a bathroom take-off wrong, each with its own right-click tool.

What comes out

Each tool changes more than the floor.

The curve added floor and shower wall. The nib wall took floor away and gave its faces upturns. The doorway added floor, the upturn round the opening and its water stop. Measured by hand, those are the lines that get missed.

Trace it, curve it, convert it. A curved stair is 6 m² on plan and nearly twice that unfolded. It goes in like a floor, then a right-click turns it into a staircase.

What comes out

The unfolded area, not the plan.

On plan the flight is 6.03 m². Unfolded, with every riser and both side edges, it's 11.16 m². Measured off the plan, a stair like this comes up short by nearly half its membrane. The treads go into the report as horizontal area, and the risers and side edges as vertical.

Then the report

In-depth reports, in your own branding.

The mark-up, the take-offs, the systems and the order list print on their own, or together as one job package with your business name and logo on the front. Changes are kept as numbered versions, so the copy on paper always matches the job.

  1. Your cover page. Your business name, logo and ABN, then the job, its version and what's inside.
  2. Mark-up. Each drawing sheet with the take-off marked in colour, as it was measured, and a key of what's on the page.
  3. Summary of quantities. The whole job on one table: every item, its unit and its total.
  4. Detail by location. Sheet, then area, then item, each tied to the page it came from.
  5. Tradie view. Each area in plain terms: the total area, then floor, walls, bondbreaker and penetrations.
  6. Specification notes. What the installer needs on site: the system, the sequence and the cure times.

Then the system

Built from the manufacturers' own data.

Every system in WPiQ comes from the supplier's own technical data sheets and installation requirements. A compatibility matrix flags what each datasheet rules out and which products shouldn't be used together, and says why. WPiQ doesn't choose the system. You do, with the limits in front of you.

  1. Supplier TDS & install requirements
  2. Compatibility matrix
  3. Limits flagged
  4. Build-up
  5. Whole-pack order
  1. Conditions. The selector reads the area from the take-off: external, tiled, on a concrete slab.
  2. Limits and compatibility. Each system is checked against its supplier's TDS and install requirements for exposure, finish, substrate and UV. One that's ruled out says why.
  3. Option 1. The build-up follows the supplier's installation requirements, primer to protection, with every line in whole packs.
  4. Option 2. A second system beside it to compare, here a two-layer torch-on. Protection and a fillet are offered, never added for you.
  5. Job package. Switch on the options to send. The order list sets them out side by side, option 1 or option 2.
