The problem
You're a tradesman pricing at the kitchen table
You're too busy to tender everything properly and too small to put an estimator on wages. So the takeoff gets done at night, in a hurry, after a full day on site.
Miss a wall, lose the margin
One level left off the takeoff and you've won a job you now pay to finish.
Add extra, lose the tender
Add fat to cover what you might have missed and the builder goes with someone cheaper.
Skip it, lose the work
Every tender you don't have time to price is a job your competitor gets a free run at.
What lands in your inbox
Your numbers next to ours
Most contractors never find out why they lost a tender, or why a job they won made no money. Send us one you lost and our free re-measure puts your takeoff beside a fresh one, so you can see exactly which lines moved.
Measured high and you priced yourself out. Measured low and you won a job that costs you. Either way you’ll know before the next one.

Who's behind 29 Palms
We've sat on the builder's side of the table
29 Palms is owned and run by Tyler and Brandon Barnes. Between us we've spent more than ten years inside a commercial builder, pricing work, delivering large scale projects, administering contracts and reviewing tenders. We know how a head contractor reads your tender and compares your prices between other subcontractors. We know what it takes to have your bid stand out amongst the crowd.
Co-owner · Your first point of call
Tyler Barnes
You'll deal with Tyler from the first call through to the finished estimate. With more than seven years as a construction estimator and senior contract administrator, he knows how jobs get built and where the fine print in a subcontract agreement can catch you out. He takes the commercial headaches off your plate, and gets your variations and monthly progress claims certified without the back-and-forth.
Co-owner · Business operations
Brandon Barnes
Brandon runs everything behind the scenes, from operations to accounts and administration, so Tyler can stay focused on your projects. He brings more than five years of business operations experience across the resources and construction sectors, reviewing tenders and managing contracts, budgets and scheduling. He knows what it takes to keep jobs on time and the paperwork right.
Why outsource to 29 Palms when I can handle it myself?
Hiring internally is expensive, time-consuming, and risky. 29 Palms gives you senior commercial expertise on demand without the overhead.
