A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before you get building.
Will Eve be free to use?
Yes. The estimator is designed to be free for DIY users and home-project builders. Retailer memberships, relevant supplier brand placements and project sponsorships support the business.
Can Eve calculate from a photograph?
You can use a photo or a dimensioned plan as a starting point. You still need to confirm the real measurements. Eve does not assume dimensions from the pixels in an ordinary photograph.
Is an estimate a final quote?
No. Eve provides approximate material quantities for planning. A retailer confirms product specifications, stock, prices and delivery. Structural work needs appropriate professional advice.
How do nearby store enquiries work?
With the customer's permission, an enquiry can be shared with up to three suitable member retailers serving their area. Each store handles its own quote, follow-up and sale. Membership provides an opportunity, not guaranteed orders.
What is the difference between supplier membership and sponsorship?
Supplier brand membership gives ongoing brand naming on relevant tools or product entries in estimates. Sponsorship is a separate featured project, demonstration or seasonal content opportunity.
Does registering make my business a paying member?
No. This form registers your interest. Eve will review your details and confirm the package, service area, availability and terms before activating a membership. There is no payment at registration.
