Quotes Out the Door Before You're Off Site.
You did the survey at 11am. By 4pm you're back in the van with the day's notes, and the quote needs writing up. Sit at the kitchen table tonight, do it Friday, never get round to it — and lose the job. We build AI that takes your survey notes, photos, and pricing rules and produces a draft quote you can send before you've left site.
The promise
Where it hurts
The trades & contractors reality.
For service-business trades, the gap between survey and quote is where revenue dies. Customers want a price quickly; you want time to think about the job properly. Manual quoting takes too long; quick-and-dirty quotes leak margin. AI sits in the middle: structured enough to apply your real pricing rules, fast enough to respond same-day.
What we actually build
Tuned for trades & contractors.
Survey input: photos, voice notes, sketches
Take photos and voice notes on site. The AI extracts what it can see — room dimensions, materials, condition, access constraints — and combines with your voice-noted observations.
Apply your pricing rules
Labour rates per trade, day rates, materials lists with current supplier prices, access surcharges, P&G, margin. Rules live in code where they're auditable, not in someone's head.
Generate quote document
Branded PDF with line items, T&Cs, validity, your reference. Sent to the customer in your voice. Or a phased breakdown for bigger jobs — phase 1 cost, options for phase 2 and 3.
Track and follow up
Quote tracked. Personalised nudges at 7, 14, 30 days. No quote goes cold while you're on the next job.

Questions
Things people in this industry ask us.
01 Will it actually understand site photos?
Modern vision-language models are good at reading site photos — recognising room types, materials, fittings, condition issues. We pair vision extraction with your voice-noted observations to fill in what photos alone can't capture.
02 How does it handle bespoke work?
Standard items priced automatically; bespoke items flagged for you to price manually. Most jobs are 70-85% standard work with a few bespoke parts. You save time on the standard 80% and treat bespoke the way you always have.
03 What if my pricing depends on judgement?
It almost always does. That's why the system generates a draft and you review. The AI does the mechanical work; you do the judgement (margin, access difficulty call, customer mix). Most trades find this lets them quote 2-3x the volume without adding hours.
04 Does it integrate with my existing tool?
Yes — Buildxact, JobNimbus, ServiceTitan, custom spreadsheets. We build to whatever you use today.
05 What about supplier price changes?
Prices synced daily or weekly from supplier feeds (where available) or your own price lists. Stale-price alerts if a price hasn't been updated in too long. Quotes always price against current costs.
