Real job context

Built for turning site notes and rough costs into a quote the client can actually say yes to.

Why trades need it

The quote is only half the job.

A quote only helps if you can still trust the numbers once work starts. QuoteBuild keeps the job, paperwork, materials, labour, and margin tied together.

Quotes still live in spreadsheets

The numbers take too long, formulas break, and the final quote can look messy by the time it reaches the client.

The hard part starts after yes

You win the work, then go back to notes, WhatsApp, and supplier invoices to work out if the margin is slipping.

QuoteBuild keeps the thread intact

Price the job, send the quote, then keep materials and labour spend against the original estimate.

Trade site with ladders, tools, timber, cable reels, and a white van
How it works

From first price to final profit, the job stays clear.

Quote cleanly, follow up quickly, then keep spend tied to the original price while the work is on site.

Step 01

Start the quote

Use photos/drawings as the brief, choose a builder template, or price manually from the trade cost library.

Step 02

Send a clear quote pack

Give the client scope, options, staged payment wording, a schedule of works, revisions, and a clear paper trail.

Step 03

Track the job while it is still live

Log labour and materials from site, then see whether the budget is still behaving before the final invoice.

What it helps with

Less faff before the quote. Fewer surprises after it.

QuoteBuild is built around the day-to-day stuff that eats into evenings: pricing, paperwork, client changes, and knowing where the margin has gone.

Price a job from materials, labour, overhead, and margin without rebuilding the same spreadsheet every time.

Job-first pricing

For real enquiries, not admin for the sake of it

Keep quoted costs and actual spend together so you can see where the job stands before the final invoice.

Margin kept visible

Materials, labour, extras, and changes in one place

Send the client a quote that is clear on scope, options, and payment terms without making the job sound bigger than it is.

Cleaner client quotes

Plain-English paperwork clients can understand

FAQ

Straight answers on trial limits, quote caps, and using it from site.

Why use QuoteBuild instead of a spreadsheet?

QuoteBuild helps you price the job, send a clean quote, then log costs against that original estimate so you can see if the margin still stacks up.

Do I really get unlimited quotes on the paid plan?

Yes. QuoteBuild Pro is flat-rate with no per-quote cap. It is £19/month during launch, then £29/month as the normal monthly price.

Can I use it on my phone while on site?

Yes. QuoteBuild works on a phone, so you can log materials, update job costs, and check margin from the van, site, or office.
