Coverage
The takeoff that wins the tender — and survives the pour.
Formwork is where concrete projects make or lose their margin. Every cycle, every prop, every specified finish has a cost that standard estimating software rounds away. HYKSOS reads the drawings like a foreman — and builds a quantity model the site team actually recognises.

A process built for tender week.
Most engagements run four to ten days end-to-end. Rush tenders can be delivered in 48–72 hours when drawings are in hand.
- 01
Brief & drawings
Send drawings, specs and any existing schedules. We confirm scope, timeline, and commercial sensitivity — often within the same day.
- 02
Quantification
We perform a measured takeoff directly from your drawings. Every quantity is traceable back to a marked-up PDF or model — no black-box numbers.
- 03
Pricing & labour model
Rates are applied from your own pricing book where provided, or from our reference rates. Labour hours and cycle times are modelled against your crew.
- 04
Review & handover
A working session with your estimator or PM to walk through assumptions, sensitivities and scope gaps. You leave with a tender-ready pack.
What our clients say.
"HYKSOS delivers takeoffs we can actually rely on. Their formwork estimates are detailed, defensible, and they turn them around fast. We have used them on projects from $2M to $50M and the accuracy is consistently within 2-3%. That is the difference between winning on margin and losing on scope."
Charbel Dib
CYD FORMGROUP
"As a Tier 2 builder, we need estimates we can hand to clients without rework. HYKSOS includes everything — labour, materials, plant, methodology — in one pack. Their engineering sign-off on formwork systems saves us weeks of coordination with consultants."
Lawrence Sahyoun
FASTFORM AUSTRALASIA
"We have engaged HYKSOS for full construction estimates on mixed-use and residential projects. What sets them apart is they understand the trade — they ask the right questions upfront, flag risks early, and their numbers hold up through tender and construction. That is rare."
