Two Ways to Work. One Platform That Supports Both

At Metre2, we know that no two construction teams work exactly the same. That’s why our tools are designed to be as adaptable as the projects they serve.

When it comes to estimating and pre-construction workflows, businesses often face a choice: stick with a traditional all-in-one platform or embrace a more modular, task-specific toolset. The good news? With Metre2, you don’t have to pick a side — we support both.

The Traditional Approach: All-in-One, All-in-Control

Many estimators and commercial teams prefer the depth and structure that traditional software platforms provide. These systems bring everything under one roof — estimates, procurement, reporting, subcontractor management, and more — all within a centralised environment.

This approach offers:

  • A consistent user experience across all functions
  • Unified reporting and shared data sets
  • Established workflows with minimal disruption
  • Peace of mind from using a single, proven system
For many businesses, this setup is familiar, comprehensive, and effective — especially where continuity and central oversight are priorities.

The Modular Approach: Micro-Apps, Built for Flexibility

While traditional platforms remain valuable, modern teams are increasingly looking for tools that are lighter, faster, and easier to adopt. That’s why we’ve created a growing ecosystem of focused micro-apps — each one purpose-built to solve a specific pre-construction task with clarity and precision.

With our modular approach, you can:

  • Pick and choose only the tools you need
  • Scale effortlessly as your team or projects grow
  • Work faster with lightweight, task-focused apps
  • Reduce complexity and avoid feature bloat
  • Integrate seamlessly with other Metre2 tools — or use standalone
Need to produce a BOQ? Use Metre2 BOQ. Comparing subcontractor quotes? Open Metre2 Quote Comparison. Viewing IFC files for takeoff? Launch Metre2 BIM Explorer. Each app works independently or as part of a unified toolkit.

Why We Believe in Choice

At Metre2, we don’t believe in forcing a workflow. We believe in supporting it. Whether you rely on a traditional all-in-one system or want to try a new way of working with micro-apps, we’re here to provide the tools that fit — not fight — your process. Some teams use our apps to complement existing systems.

Others are moving away from traditional systems altogether and embracing the speed, simplicity, and control that comes with building their own customised stack of apps.

You decide how much you need, when you need it.
