Built Specifically for Builders

QuoteSmith understands the building trade inside and out

Quote Every Type of Building Work

Extensions, loft conversions, garage conversions, new builds, renovations, structural alterations, underpinning, groundworks — QuoteSmith handles them all. The AI generates accurate scopes of work covering strip-out, foundations, brickwork, steelwork, roofing, first and second fix, and finishing trades.

Industry-Standard Building Terms

The AI knows building terminology — practical completion, retention periods, provisional sums, prime cost sums, variations, and CDM responsibilities. Your proposals include professional terms and conditions that protect you and reassure your clients. No more generic templates that miss critical clauses.

Itemised Costings with VAT

Break down your quotes into clear line items — groundworks, structural steelwork, brickwork, roofing, windows, plastering, electrics, plumbing. Each item shows quantity, rate, and amount. VAT is calculated automatically at 20%, with clear subtotals on every proposal.

Your Branding, Every Proposal

Upload your builder's logo, set your brand colours, and add your company details including company registration number, VAT number, and public liability insurance details. Every PDF looks like it came from a large construction firm — even if you're a sole trader or small building company.

Quote on Site, Win on the Spot

Generate a professional builder's proposal from your phone or tablet while you're still on site. No more going home, spending the evening at a desk, and sending it days later. Strike while the iron is hot and impress clients with your speed and professionalism.

Payment Schedules Built In

For larger building projects, break your quote into payment stages — deposit, foundations complete, first floor, roof on, first fix, second fix, and practical completion. The AI generates a clear payment schedule so clients know exactly what to expect and when.

What Builders Say

Real feedback from builders using QuoteSmith every day

★★★★★

"I run a small building firm and we were losing jobs because our quotes looked unprofessional — just a price list in an email. Now every proposal has our logo, a proper scope of work, payment stages, and T&Cs. Won a 60k extension job last week and the client said our proposal stood out from the other three builders who quoted."

"Used to spend every Sunday evening writing up quotes from the week's site visits. Now I do them on the drive home from site — takes 5 minutes each. I'm quoting three times as many jobs and my win rate has gone up because clients get the proposal the same day. Absolute game changer."

★★★★★

"The AI actually understands building work. It mentions things like building control sign-off, structural engineer's calcs, and skip hire in the scope — stuff I used to forget to include. Saves me hours every week and the proposals look like they cost me thousands to design. Worth every penny."
