About Online Measures
and our process
Who are Online Measures?
Online Measures is an online quantity surveying business offering great value and pay-per-use services that give you accurate take off measures for your painting, plastering and steel stud requirements. We’re online because it’s convenient and makes things more affordable. But the service you’re getting is delivered by real experts.
Getting your measure is so easy. We specifically cater for off-the-plan measurements, so most jobs will fit within one of our convenient packages. Then it’s just a matter of uploading plans and specifications with information about the requirement.
Simple processes, detailed outcomes
Each substrate is accurately measured and itemised in a detailed, yet self-explanatory formulated spreadsheet and sent back to you within 5 days. You then add your pricing and it’s automatically totalled for you at the bottom. There’s also the ability to add GST and any required trade or customer discount structure. For projects that are a little more complex and don’t have ready-made package solutions, give us a call to discuss your needs.
How do we make it so affordable? Because it’s very specific. You pay only for the QS services you as a painting or plastering business need, not all the extras. Plus, we’re online, reducing overheads to almost nil — savings we pass on to you.
Helping businesses
You don’t have to be a big player to benefit from our service. Helping small businesses achieve their goals was where it all started for us. In fact, you may not have the need or budget to retain a QS ongoing. Our service offers everything needed without the hefty price.
Our simple system and easy package solutions make it easier for you to accurately price more jobs. It saves time, helps project efficiencies and betters tender opportunities. It also ensures nothing is missed off your quote to the customer, eliminating the risk of costly surprises.
Real people, real experiences
Despite being an online business, there’s a team of qualified quantity surveyors behind the scenes at Online Measures. Experienced in the art of accurate take-off measures and equipped with the latest software, we work to ensure you get the kind of precise measurements that result in profitable jobs.
We’ve worked hands-on in the trade for years and know it inside out. When we started, we could see a need for an affordable and specialised measuring service, which is why we created Online Measures. It’s also why we’re confident that if you try us once, you’ll use us forever.

Why us?
We provide our customers with value
Fully qualified quantity surveyors
A quantity surveyor manages all costs relating to building and civil engineering projects, from the initial calculations to the final figures. They seek to minimise the costs of a project and enhance value for money, while still achieving the required standards and quality. This includes ensuring statutory building regulations are met.
Working as a QS
As a quantity surveyor, you could work for either the client or the contractor, in an office or on site. You will be involved in a project from the start, preparing estimates and costs of the work. When the project is in progress, you’ll keep track of any variations to the contract that may affect costs and create reports to show profitability.
Alternative job titles include construction cost consultant and commercial manager.
