The donkey work, handed over.
Nothing goes to your customer until you say so. Jahesh does the grind; you make the calls.
Estimates from your plans
Upload the plans for a house, a renovation or a granny flat. Jahesh measures them, an estimator checks every figure, and you get a priced estimate you can open in Excel and send to your trades.
- Priced from your own rates first
- Four files, each with your logo and ABN
- Every quantity marked on the plans so you can check it
Quotes while you’re still on site
Say what the job is, out loud if you like. Jahesh drafts the lines and prices them from your own rates, with a list of what to check before you send.
- Speak it or type it
- Anything it can’t price is flagged, never guessed
- Your customer accepts online from a link
Replies drafted, never sent without you
Paste in a customer’s email or text. Jahesh writes the reply you’d write and asks for what you need to quote. You read it, change it, and send it.
- Never promises a price or a start date
- Your own enquiry page for your website or socials
- Everything in one inbox
A receptionist that takes the message
Jahesh picks up when you can’t. It says it’s an AI, takes the name, number, address and the job, and the message is in your inbox when you’re off the tools.
- Never gives a price or books a time
- Sends anyone in danger to 000
- Try it on a test call today; your own number is next
Invoices without the paperwork
When a customer accepts a quote, the deposit invoice is one tap. Progress claims and the final balance follow the same way, and Jahesh tells you which ones are overdue.
- Deposit guidance for your state
- GST worked out, your ABN and bank details on it
- See what’s owed and what’s late at a glance

A phone app
Everything above, built for a thumb and a ute.
Card payments and Xero
Customers pay from the invoice, and your books keep themselves.

Hand over the donkey work.
We’re opening Jahesh to a small group of Australian builders and trades first. Leave your email and we’ll be in touch.
Questions
Straight answers to the things builders ask us first.
Is Jahesh a quantity surveyor?
No. Jahesh is not a registered or licensed quantity surveying practice. It measures your plans with software, an estimator checks the result, and you check it again before you rely on it for a contract price.
Where do the prices come from?
Your own rates first. Load them once and every estimate and quote is priced your way. Where you have no rate, an estimate uses a rate Jahesh’s estimator has verified. If there is no rate at all, the item is flagged, never guessed.
Does Jahesh send things to my customers?
No. Jahesh drafts; you decide. Quotes, invoices and replies only go out when you share the link or press send in your own email or messages.
What plans can I upload?
One PDF of up to 60 pages for a house, a renovation or extension, or a granny flat. Commercial work and other file types are not supported yet.
Can I change the numbers?
Yes. The bill of quantities is an ordinary Excel file with working formulas, the marked-up plans show where each quantity came from, and every line on a quote or invoice is yours to edit.
Who sees my plans and prices?
You, and the Jahesh estimator who checks your estimate. Other builders can’t see your plans, your rates, your quotes or your customers.
