Project Dashboard
Tenant-scoped projects and estimating controls.
1. Meztrio Setup
Set the language and country/market first. Meztrio will use these conventions for terminology, currency, units, tax and rate searches.
2. Regional & Measurement Standards
These standards are controlled by the selected country/market and are applied throughout Meztrio.
Unit Converter
Convert a measurement when working with drawings, specifications or supplier information. Conversion does not alter the underlying estimate quantity.

Market and currency are taken from Meztrio Setup above.
Estimate Workspace
Select a project estimate.
Source: Reviewed Quantity Takeoff
This estimate can receive quantities only from a reviewed takeoff belonging to the same project. The estimate is the destination — it is not the source of the takeoff.
Estimate Items
Edit Estimate Item
No item selected.
Resource Build-Up
Select an estimate item.
Build-up is evidence for the item direct cost. It does not automatically set, apply, or approve the estimate rate.

Estimate Workflow & Release
All review, approval, commercial review, issue and controlled-report actions are handled here. You no longer need to move to a separate Workflow screen.

Commercial Review
Enter percentages here when Commercial Review begins.
Contractor / Internal Report
Full contractor-facing report: commercial parameters, approved rates, resource build-ups, direct cost, overhead, contingency, profit, tax, total and release status.
Client Estimate
Client version excludes profit, margin and internal commercial breakdown while preserving the issued selling price and tax.
Project Intelligence
Understand the project before measuring or pricing it. This area is project-level and does not belong to any estimate version.
Upload Project Drawings & Documents
Start the project understanding here. Upload the drawings or project PDFs you want Meztrio to examine. Files are security-scanned before any extracted information can be used.
1. Source Documents
Drawings and project documents belong to the project. Meztrio analyses them here; they are not owned by an estimate.
2. Quantity Takeoff Readiness
3. Estimate Readiness
Next Step
Quantity Takeoff
Measure the project from confirmed source information. The takeoff belongs to the project — not to an estimate.
Quantity Takeoff — Guided Sequence
Choose the source method first. Meztrio will then guide you through the correct path. A drawing is never assumed and an estimate is never the source of a takeoff.
Start by choosing Manual Dimensions or PDF Drawing. Quantities are project-owned; an estimate is only a destination after review.
Step 1 — Choose Measurement Method
Select how Meztrio should obtain the dimensions for this takeoff.
House / Building Dimensions
PDF Drawing Intake
Upload a project drawing PDF. The drawing belongs to the selected project. Meztrio will security-scan it, extract machine-readable drawing text, identify measurement candidates and let you confirm dimensions before they enter the takeoff.
The source drawing is project-owned. It becomes part of the takeoff evidence only after a drawing has been uploaded, security-cleared and selected.
Calculated Quantities
Enter dimensions and calculate a takeoff.
Beams & Structural Slab
Calculate preliminary concrete, reinforcement and formwork quantities for reinforced concrete beams and slabs.
Footing & Column Reinforcement
Preliminary concrete and reinforcement quantities. Final structural design remains subject to professional engineering review.
Bulk Rate Review
Review advisory rate candidates for all unmatched items in the selected estimate without automatically changing or approving rates.
Construction Assemblies
Expand a measured quantity into material, labour and installation components before normal rate matching and approval.
Coordinated House Model
Use one set of building dimensions to drive the connected foundation, wall, slab and roof quantities.
Foundation Takeoff
Enter the preliminary foundation geometry. Meztrio will calculate excavation, footings, foundation wall and filling quantities.
Finishes, Cabinets & Electrical
Add the finish scope after the building geometry is calculated. Electrical quantities are preliminary estimating allowances only.
Assumptions & Engineering Notice
Calculations are transparent estimating aids and are not a substitute for structural design or professional engineering review.
Estimate Specification Review
Step 7 — Final Quantity Review
Confirm that the calculated quantities and their source basis are correct. This is the last step before a takeoff can be sent to an estimate.
Step 8 — Send Reviewed Quantities to an Estimate
The estimate must belong to this same project. Choose the destination only after the takeoff has been reviewed.
Construction Method
Select the construction system for this project before generating the residential takeoff.
Method Assembly Preview
Preview the materials and labour components generated by the selected construction method.
Saved Construction Specifications
Save project-specific construction specifications once. Recalculation will reuse them automatically.
Project construction specifications are managed by Meztrio and reused automatically during recalculation.
Recalculate Residential Estimate
Rebuild the residential takeoff using the specifications saved on the estimate.
Building Model — Room & Dimension Input
Enter the building envelope and individual rooms. Meztrio keeps these dimensions as the coordinated source for the residential takeoff.
Room data is managed as structured takeoff information; technical data is kept out of the normal user interface.
Doors & Windows — Coordinated Openings
Define openings once. Meztrio deducts them from wall quantities and carries the opening schedule forward.
Door and window data is coordinated automatically; technical JSON is kept out of the normal user interface.
Rate Search
Find a candidate rate for the selected estimate item, then return to approval.
Open an estimate and click an item before applying a rate.
Add Private Rate
Add a rate that is available only to your organization. Private rates are never added to the shared benchmark library.
My Private Rates
Rates saved for your organization. These remain private and are available to your authorized users when searching.
