Drawing pack analysis Upload drawings, PDFs, specifications and scope documents
First-pass takeoff Materials, labour, plant, assumptions and quantities structured for review
Builder-controlled pricing Adjust rates, margin, contingency and exclusions before anything goes to the client

Your best opportunities often arrive as a folder of drawings, specifications, PDFs and scope notes. Quotify turns that pack into a first-pass takeoff and editable cost plan, so you can make a pricing decision without waiting days for a QS.

Built for UK builders pricing £100k to £750k residential and light commercial projects from drawings, specifications and document packs.

Margin and contingency controls Review points for your preferred margin, contingency and pricing logic.
Fixed-price risk checks Risks worth checking before you commit to the final quote.
Editable spreadsheet structure A first-pass format you can review, adjust and price from.

Get the first-pass takeoff without handing the job away

When a project pack lands, you either spend hours pulling it apart yourself or send it to a QS and wait. Quotify gives you a structured first pass from the drawings and specs, so you can apply your judgement sooner.

The lean-team trade-off

The first pass is the bottleneck. You either wait for a QS, lose hours doing the takeoff yourself, or price from incomplete information while the risk still sits with you.

Where project quotes lose time, control and margin

QS delay Lost time

The job waits before you can decide

You send the pack away, pay for the first pass, then wait before you can make a pricing decision.

Rework Control drag

The first pass still needs rebuilding

The takeoff comes back part-useful, but you still need to check, correct and rebuild it around your numbers.

Fixed-price risk Margin risk

The wrong price lands on you

If you price it light, the loss is yours. If you price it heavy, you may lose the job.

Generic assumptions Weak fit

External logic rarely matches yours

External takeoffs rarely match your labour rates, plant, suppliers, margin or contingency logic.

A takeoff system built around how experienced builders price work

Upload the project pack, get a structured first-pass takeoff, then review quantities, labour, materials, plant, margin and contingency before turning it into your final quote.

After the project pack lands
First-pass

Turn drawings, specifications and supporting documents into a review-ready cost plan before the job stalls.

Move sooner

Move before the job goes cold

Get a workable first pass back before the opportunity sits for days.

Fewer blind spots

Price with fewer blind spots

Separate labour, materials and plant, then check the assumptions before you commit to a fixed price.

Builder control

Keep control of the numbers

AI gives you the first pass. You decide the rates, margin, contingency and final quote.

Turn takeoff from a bottleneck into a pricing advantage

Builders do not need another generic quoting tool. They need a faster way to read the drawings, structure the takeoff, check the assumptions, and price the job using their own rates and judgement.

01 Project pack

Upload the full project pack

Add drawings, specifications, PDFs, scope notes and supporting documents in one place.

02 First pass

Get a first-pass takeoff

Materials, labour, plant, quantities, assumptions and missing items are structured for review.

03 Builder review

Review it like a builder

Adjust the numbers using your rates, suppliers, margin, contingency and experience.

04 Controlled speed

Quote faster without losing control

Move from document pack to workable cost plan without waiting days for an external QS.

05 Reusable pricing

Teach the system how you price

Your corrections, previous quotes and pricing rules help Quotify improve the next takeoff.

Use Quotify before, instead of, or alongside your QS

Many builders already have a QS they trust. Quotify gives you a faster first pass before you commit time and money to external pricing, or helps you check and prepare the pack before it goes out.

Current QS route Quotify route
Send the pack away Upload the pack directly
Wait for turnaround Get a structured first pass faster
Pay per job Build a reusable pricing workflow
Output still needs rework Corrections improve future takeoffs
Generic assumptions Learns your rates, margin and contingency
Control sits outside the business You keep control of final pricing

AI does the first pass. You stay in control.

What Quotify is and is not

AI does the first pass. You keep final control.

Quotify is not a magic button that sends final prices to your client. It helps read the pack, structure the takeoff, surface assumptions and prepare a workable cost plan for review.

You stay responsible for the final numbers, margins, contingencies, exclusions and client quote.

Built around your pricing

Learns how your business prices work

Quotify can be trained around your previous quotes, cost structure and preferred assumptions, so each review gets closer to the way you already price jobs.

  • Labour rates
  • Material markups
  • Plant handling
  • Margin rules
  • Contingency ranges
  • Common exclusions
  • Previous quotes
  • Pricing corrections
  • Won/lost quote notes

Built from real building project packs

Quotify is built around real builder workflows where drawings, specifications, PDFs and scope documents need to become a fixed-price quote.

Project types it is being built around

Extensions Refurbishments New builds Conversions Light commercial projects Fixed-price work

What the first pass can structure

  • Quantities, materials and labour split out for review
  • Plant, prelims, exclusions and assumptions made visible
  • Risk flags for fixed-price decisions before the quote goes out
  • Exportable structure for spreadsheet review and pricing logic

Before and after Quotify for a building firm

The pricing still needs your judgement. Quotify gives you a faster first pass, so the takeoff is easier to review, correct and turn into a quote.

Before

Waiting on the first pass

The project cannot move until someone turns the drawing pack into a workable first pass.

  • Drawing packs and specs get sent to a QS
  • You pay before knowing whether you will win the job
  • The output comes back useful, but not finished
  • You still need to check quantities, rates, labour, plant and assumptions
  • The quote can sit for days before it is ready
  • If the final price is wrong, the risk still sits with you
After

One AI-assisted takeoff flow

Quotify gives you a structured first pass that keeps the final pricing decision inside the business.

  • Upload drawings, specs, PDFs and scope notes
  • Quotify creates a first-pass takeoff and cost plan
  • Labour, materials and plant are separated
  • Margin and contingency can be reviewed before sending
  • You correct the assumptions and keep control
  • The system learns from your pricing decisions over time
