Why you need Elephate
You estimate complex projects
Reading specifications, determining quantities, looking up prices — for complex projects this easily takes dozens of hours per quote.
Your revenue depends on winning quotes
The more quotes you send out, the greater your chance of winning. But manual estimating limits the number of projects you can take on — and that costs you revenue.
Your back-office needs pressure relief
Estimators, project managers and admin spend too much time on repetitive work. Those hours are better spent on clients, handling specifics and winning projects — that's where your real margin lives.
From specification to estimate
Elephate reads your documents, understands how you estimate and prepares the budget.
So you have more time for the rest.
Smarter estimation with AI
Elephate analyses your specifications, matches articles from your catalogue and generates a complete estimate. No more manual lookups — the AI does the heavy lifting.
Upload
Upload your specifications, drawings and project notes. The platform automatically recognises the building, spaces and installation requirements.

Yes. All data is stored encrypted and never shared with third parties. We are working towards ISO 27001 certification and work with security professionals. Your project data stays yours.
No. Elephate works alongside your existing systems. You export the estimate to Excel and import it into your ERP as you normally would. No integration, no retraining, just start.
No. Those tools are generic. Elephate is purpose-built for estimation in the installation industry: it understands specifications, recognises STABU codes, calculates quantities and matches articles from your own catalogue. A chatbot cannot do that.
Installation projects from small to large. Think residential, commercial, healthcare, education. Currently we cover mechanical installations, but we're working towards the full STABU categorisation.
After the demo you can start right away. Set up your company configuration — preferred articles, markup percentages, suppliers — and upload your first specification. Your first estimate is ready within an hour.
Not yet. Currently we prepare the initial estimate based on specifications, company configurations, national standards and industry norms. We get this question a lot, so it's definitely on our radar.
