EstiMate is now the AI Operating System for Construction
EstiMate started life doing one thing brilliantly: quotes that win jobs, sent in minutes. Today it becomes something bigger — the AI Operating System for Construction, built for UK builders and trades.
What just shipped
- Optional extras on quotes — clients tick the upsells they want, the total updates live, and their choices lock in when they accept
- Snagging with drawing pins — drop numbered snags straight onto your drawings, and let AI write up the defect from a photo
- Two-sided snagging — clients and developers report snags from their own project link, and get notified with photo proof when each one is completed
- Progress reports — one tap compiles the week or month into a branded report with an AI summary, emailed to client and office together
- 360° virtual tours — upload 360° photos from any 360 camera and clients walk the finished job like Google Street View
- Legal toolkit — letters before claim with statutory interest calculated automatically, suspension notices, a dispute playbook and a plain-English UK court guide
- Construction Copilot — every morning, the app tells you exactly what needs action: quotes going cold, overdue payments, open snags, renewals due
Why an operating system
An app does a task. An operating system is where the business lives. Win the job, run the job, get paid — quotes, contracts, programme, site records, variations, payments and now the legal backup, all in one place, with an AI that actually knows your business.
Quoting is still the way in — it takes minutes and it wins work. But now the job that follows lives in the same system as the quote that won it.
