The AI Operating System
for Construction.
Professional quotes, AI drafting, client approval, contracts, project planning and business analytics — all in one.
Six products. One job record.
Not twenty tools and a spreadsheet. The tender becomes the quote, the quote becomes the contract, the contract becomes the programme, the invoices and the accounts — and the same job hands over at the end.
Watch it work.
Real screens from the real app — no mock-ups. Each film is yours to download for LinkedIn, Instagram or TikTok.
Find the work
TenderPilot — live UK tenders and every council's planning register, searched for you.
Win the quote
AI take-off from the drawings, a branded quote the client accepts online, deposit paid on the spot.
Run the job
Contract, programme, site diary, snagging and variations — every decision logged against the job.
Hand it over
Snags signed off, completion invoice raised, handover pack and warranties in the client's hands.
From the boardroom to the building site.
Whether you're a director overseeing a portfolio, a contracts manager winning tenders, an estimator pricing jobs, or a tradesperson quoting on site — EstiMate gives every level of your business the tools to work faster, look more professional, and win more work.
Find the work
TenderPilot inside EstiMate — the work finds you before anyone else quotes it.
Find Tenders
Live UK public-sector and posted tenders, searchable by keyword, CPV code and location — and refreshing automatically so the list is always current.
Local applications
Every council's planning register, searched live: approved domestic and commercial applications in your patch, scored by value and ready to letter with your logo and QR code.
AI bid writer & Evaluator
Extracts the questions from the tender pack, drafts your responses from your answer library and scores them the way the panel will.
Alerts & map
Deadline alerts for every live bid and a map of the opportunities around you.
Bid pipeline
Qualifying, drafting, in review, submitted, won, lost — pipeline value and win rate on the dashboard.
Answer library & submissions
Reuse your best answers, then produce a branded submission PDF. Post your own tenders free.
Win the work
Quotes that look the part, priced from the drawings and sent in minutes — and they close themselves.
AI take-off & quote writer
Upload drawings and the spec — or describe the job — and the AI drafts a measured scope, materials and labour for review, cited to the sheet.
Material & labour breakdowns
Categorised materials and labour with automatic subtotals, margin and VAT — domestic or commercial itemised modes.
Supplier RFQs & merchant comparison
Send the materials list to merchants and subbies by link, collect their prices, and let the AI pick the cheapest compliant package.
Optional extras clients pick
Add upsells to any quote. Clients tick the extras on the quote link, watch the total update live and accept.
Send by WhatsApp or link
Clients open a no-login page, then Accept, Decline or Request Changes — and pay the deposit by card there and then.
AI Visualiser
Turn a site photo and a description into a visual of the finished result, using the materials actually on the quote.
Drawing revisions & scope gaps
Rev A against Rev B: what changed, quantity deltas, cost impact and a suggested variation. Missing information becomes an RFI.
Customers & CRM
Every client captured automatically from every quote, with the full history of jobs, messages and money per customer.
Run the job
Contracts, programme, site records and variations — the whole build in one place.
Contracts & e-signatures
Generate a full build contract from the quote, send it, client signs online. Both parties get a copy.
Site diary, RFIs & quality
Daily site records with weather and workforce, RFIs, non-conformance reports and quality inspections — dispute-proof documentation.
Snagging with drawing pins
Drop numbered snag pins straight onto your drawings, attach photos, assign trades and track every snag to sign-off.
Programme & planner
Programme of works your client can see, plus a calendar that merges milestones, programme stages and your own events.
Variations without re-signing
Price additional works from site, send for one-tap client approval, and watch the contract total update automatically.
Walk-rounds, voice notes & photos
Record the initial walk-round on the phone, dictate notes, drop photos — it lands on the web job, priced and ready.
Progress reports clients love
One tap compiles the week — diary, photos, milestones, snags — into a branded report with an AI summary, emailed to client and office.
360° virtual tours
Clients walk the job like Street View — with in-tour measuring, a clickable floor plan and side-by-side progress comparison.
Site Crew app & live notifications
Share the job with your workers by QR code; everyone gets told the moment a client accepts, pays or asks for a change.
Site documents & compliance
The paperwork a site needs before anyone picks up a tool — generated, not typed.
RAMS & trade documents
RAMS, COSHH, toolbox talks, permits to work, site inductions, timesheets and more — generated in minutes, not evenings.
Construction Phase Plan & site pack
The CPP and a complete site document pack for the job, kept up to date as the scope changes.
Progress certificates & subcontracts
JCT/NEC-style interim valuations and back-to-back trade packages drafted from the job.
Legal toolkit & case file
Letters before claim with statutory interest, suspension notices, a dispute playbook and an AI case file built from the job's own records.
Builder's calculators
Concrete, roof pitch, brickwork, plasterboard, insulation, tiling, screed and more — 15 calculators for accurate site quantities.
Branded professional PDFs
Your logo, your QR code, your terms. One click produces a client-ready quote, contract, invoice or certificate.
Get paid & do the accounts
Know where every pound is while the job is still running — and have the year-end done by the time it finishes.
Deposits, milestones & invoices
Deposit on acceptance, stage invoices with card payment, overdue flags and automatic chasing by email and WhatsApp.
Receipts, supplier invoices & fuel
Log every receipt, merchant invoice and fuel fill from the phone — actual costs against the estimate before the margin disappears.
Bank import & reconciliation
Import any bank's statement, match payees with AI, reconcile client payments, wages and costs to the right jobs.
Business, Reports & Accounts
Revenue, win rate, margin and slow payers — then P&L, VAT return, CIS and aged debtors built from the same ledger, ready for year-end.
Cost control & automatic margin
Budget versus spend, purchase orders, retention and variations per job; your default margin applied before VAT.
Equipment & fleet
Tools, plant and vehicles with service, MOT and insurance due dates, fuel logs and mileage against jobs.
Bring your business in
Old quotes, books, bulk invoices and company documents imported with AI — your history in EstiMate on day one.
Hand it over & run the business
Finish properly, keep the client, and let the app handle the back office.
Handover pack
Certificates, documents, the signed-off snag list, the site diary and warranties compiled into one completion pack for the client.
Warranty tracker
Every warranty logged with reminder dates — turn finished jobs into service revenue instead of forgotten paperwork.

Real jobs, real values.
EstiMate was built inside a working contracting company. These are jobs it has delivered, from £110K to £400K, and what each one asked of the software. The app itself is used by builders nationwide, across the United Kingdom.
Questions builders ask
Straight answers.
Is EstiMate free to use?
- Yes. The Free plan is £0 and runs three jobs a month with real quotes, invoices and contracts, no card needed. EstiMate is £15.99 a month and EstiMate Pro, with the AI suite and Copilot, is £39.99 a month. There are no contracts.
How does AI take-off from drawings work?
- Upload your drawings and specification. EstiMate measures the quantities, builds a priced bill with the working shown, marks up the plans so you can check every item, and turns it into a branded quote your client can accept online.
Does EstiMate handle UK VAT, CIS and the reverse charge?
- Yes. Quotes and invoices handle 20%, 5% and 0% VAT and the domestic reverse charge, CIS deductions are applied on subcontractor payments, and the accounts keep a CIS register and a VAT return helper.
Can my clients accept quotes and pay online?
- Yes. Clients open a link with no login, accept or decline, ask for changes, pay a deposit by card and e-sign the build contract. Invoices carry pay-by-card links and are chased automatically when overdue.
Does EstiMate work anywhere in the United Kingdom?
- Yes. EstiMate is used by builders and trades across the United Kingdom, from Manchester and Cheshire to London, Birmingham, Glasgow and Cardiff, on the web and on iPhone. It is built in Manchester by a working contractor.
Who is EstiMate built for?
- Sole traders and small firms: builders, electricians, plumbers and heating engineers, roofers, joiners, plasterers, landscapers and groundworkers, kitchen and bathroom fitters, decorators, and main contractors and fit-out firms.
