Testimonials

At Keir Constructions, we’ve partnered with Talus Building Solutions for over 15 years, and their estimating services have become an integral part of how we operate.

From the outset, what drew us to Talus was their depth of industry knowledge, their accuracy, and their practical approach to estimating. They don’t just provide numbers—they understand what it takes to build, and that insight adds real value to every project.

Working with Talus has streamlined our pre-construction processes significantly. Their consistency, reliability, and attention to detail allow us to plan with confidence and focus our resources more effectively. Whether it’s a complex tender or a quick turnaround, we know we can rely on Talus to deliver accurate, timely estimates that align with real-world conditions.

To any builder considering Talus for their estimating needs: don’t hesitate. Their professionalism, experience, and commitment to quality make them more than a service provider—they’re a trusted extension of our team.

We were looking for an improved estimating system that worked with Databuild — both for rapid sales estimating and integration into production estimating.

As we moved into medium density construction, we wanted a partner who could support us through this growth phase. Talus took the time to understand our business first, offered an honest and scalable solution, and being based in Queensland was a real advantage in understanding local market conditions, subcontractor rates and supplier trends.

The solution has improved our sales estimating speed and accuracy, allowing us to scale without increasing in-house resources. Talus helped build a Databuild framework that aligns with our construction methodology and continues to support internal training so our team can fully utilise the system.

Talus is a reliable, long-term partner committed to helping builders grow. Their local knowledge and quality estimating have been a real asset to us, and we’ve already recommended them to other builders.

We’ve worked alongside Counterpoint Architecture since 2019, supporting them on a range of projects across North Queensland, particularly in the high-end residential sector.

Led by Zammi Rohan and Mark Kennedy, the Counterpoint team consistently demonstrates a deep commitment to both design excellence and client outcomes. They understand the importance of cost certainty from the earliest stages of a project and actively encourage clients to bring us on board during the early design stages and again prior to tender. This proactive approach gives their clients confidence through every phase, especially in a market where pricing conditions can change quickly.

Their collaborative and transparent way of working makes them a standout in the industry. We value our ongoing partnership with Counterpoint and look forward to continuing to support their projects well into the future.

We were looking for an estimating partner who really understood the design process, and and was easy to deal with. Talus are responsive, and bring a strong understanding of construction in our region. They undersatand our design intent and tailor their estimates accordingly, which is so important for us.

It’s made a big difference. Getting clear, accurate cost advice early gives our clients confidence and helps avoid surprises later. Their reports are detailed but easy to work with, and their timeframes are great. They have helped us streamline our workflow and deliver smoother projects from start to finish.

They’re professional, collaborative, and genuinely add value. Whether it’s a high-end home or something more complex, Talus is a valuable part of the team.
