The evolution of a platform trusted by the UK's leading interior designers for more than 20 years.
Æstima is a ground-up rewrite of an estimating and project management system that has quietly powered some of the most prestigious interior design practices in the United Kingdom. Built on modern cloud infrastructure, it brings the same industry-proven workflow - with the speed, security and flexibility demanded by today's studios - to a beautiful new platform.

The whole job, in one place
Estimate, specification, purchase orders and invoices on one spine, so the figures at the bottom of a job are the same figures you quoted at the top.
Cost and client price on the same line. Supplier costs sit beside what the client sees, so margin is never a separate spreadsheet. Group by room, and the totals underneath keep pace as you work: invoiced to date, still outstanding, profit as it stands.
The estimate
The whole book of work on one screen. Every estimate the practice has open, with its client, its stage and its value, and the total at the foot. Filter it, sort it, or step through the found set record by record.
The pieces
The piece, not just the price. Photographs, product codes and supplier detail live on the line. Send a spec sheet to a workshop, or push the item straight into your price list for the next job.Made for work worth looking at. Full-size images on any item, so a conversation about a piece happens in front of the piece rather than a description of it.
Buying
Orders lock when they are issued. Once a purchase order goes to a supplier it is locked. A later supplier quote cannot quietly overwrite a line you have already ordered or invoiced.Every order raised against this job. Each estimate carries its own orders, so you can see what has been placed with whom, what is still open, and what it has cost so far.
The paperwork
Every document, filed against the job. Drawings, spec sheets, supplier quotes, delivery notes and the client sign-off email, in folders you name, on the estimate itself rather than in a shared drive somewhere.
Screens from a demonstration company: the names, projects and figures are invented. The photographs are public-domain works from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Open Access collection.
