How Tender Up Works
STEP 01Upload plans & specs
Drag and drop your PDF drawings and specification. firefindAI runs a full auto-detection. On fire jobs it also reads the fire engineering report and builds an FER checklist — no more reading hundreds of pages.
STEP 02AI Take-off → Costing
FirefindAI's auto-detection converts straight into a completed take-off and flows into your costing page.
STEP 03Review & Send
Your costing is already done — just review and make any changes to suit. Then your quote is generated automatically and you press send.

No consultant drawings? Design it yourself.
On a Design & Construct job there is no consultant layout to read — so Tenderup gives you the drawing board. You place the devices, and what you place becomes the take-off.
- Place devices with your own CAD symbols — the same blocks that go on the drawing.
- Calibrate the drawing to scale, then measure real lengths and areas as you design.
- Every symbol you place is counted — the design IS the take-off, straight into costing.
- Design one typical floor and apply it across the levels it covers.
Tenderup does not auto-design. FirefindAI reads consultant drawings; in Design & Construct you place the devices and stay in control of the design.
Symbol libraries
The symbol libraries are built for every trade — each drawn to the Australian Standard the design is certified against.
- Dry fireAS 1670.1 · AS 1670.4
- Wet fireAS 2118.1 · AS 2419.1
- ElectricalAS/NZS 3000 · AS 2293
- SecurityAS 2201
- Comms / DataAS/NZS 3080 · AS/NZS 3084
- HydraulicAS/NZS 3500 · AS 5601
- MechanicalAS 1668 · AS/NZS 3666
Every placement counts into the take-off — and onto the drawing you hand back.

The tender does not stop at the take-off
Chasing sub-trades and re-typing supplier quotes is where the working week actually goes. Tenderup sends the Request a Quote and reads the quotes back into your costing — both inside the same tender.
Send the sub-trade Request a Quote
Split the job into sub-trade packages and get them out to your sub-contractors without leaving the tender.
- Build the sub-trade packages straight off the take-off — no re-scoping in a separate spreadsheet.
- Drawings, scope and return date go out attached to the Request a Quote.
- See who has been invited, who has opened it and who has come back, inside the tender.
Supplier quotes automatically read into costing
A supplier quote lands, Tenderup reads it and matches it to the lines you have already priced. You review the difference instead of re-keying the quote.
- Any supplier quote is read automatically and matched to your lines.
- Uploaded quotes attach to the tender, ready to price against.
- Apply a supplier price and the tender total updates — nothing gets re-typed.
Any supplier's quote is read automatically and matched to your lines, then attached to the tender.
Where you work: take-off and costing are built for a desktop or laptop screen — that is where the drawings live. Tracking your tenders, Request a Quote responses and quote statuses works on a phone or tablet.
