Move from drawings to a fixed-price project quote with fewer blind spots
Quotify turns drawings, specs and site notes into a first-pass takeoff, cost plan and risk review, so you can price larger projects with more confidence before committing to the client.
Send a real project pack • No commitment • Built for fixed-price project work
Quotify helps owner-led builders turn drawings, specs and scope notes into a fixed-price project quote they can review, adjust and present with confidence.
Owner-led UK builders and small contractors pricing extensions, refurbishments, conversions and light commercial projects from incomplete or evolving project packs.
Fixed-price quote review
What Quotify gives you back before you commit
A controlled first pass that separates scope, costs, assumptions and risks before anything becomes a client-facing fixed price.

Cost-plus to fixed-price
Still pricing from cost-plus, gut feel or rough Excel?
Many builders know their projects well, but still struggle to turn drawings, scope notes and early plans into a confident fixed-price number. Quotify gives you a structured first pass, with labour, materials, plant, assumptions, risks, margin and contingency separated for review.
The fixed-price pressure
As the job size grows, rough allowances and buried assumptions become margin risk.
Where larger fixed-price quotes get exposed
The numbers live in your head
You know how the work should be built, but the quote still depends on memory, judgement and a rough spreadsheet.
The drawings are not complete yet
Missing details, evolving specs and unclear scope make it hard to know what needs pricing, qualifying or excluding.
The wrong allowance lands on you
If a provisional area is buried in the total, it is harder to defend later when the real scope appears.
The client needs a clear number
You need a quote that is presentable without exposing your full internal workings or hiding important exclusions.
Builder-led pricing
Built around your rates, margins and way of pricing
Quotify gives you the first pass, but you stay in control. Adjust labour rates, day rates, material assumptions, plant, contingency, margin and exclusions before anything becomes a client-facing quote.
Your rates
your margin
your margin
Start from a structured quote review, then adjust the number using the judgement that already wins your jobs.
Drawings
Specifications
Scope notes
Day rates
Supplier assumptions
Previous quotes
Adjust the pricing basis
Change labour rates, day rates, supplier costs, plant allowances and subcontractor inputs before quoting.
Check margin and contingency
Keep bare cost, contingency, margin, PC sums and provisional allowances separated for review.
Decide what gets presented
Turn the internal breakdown into the right client-facing detail only after you have checked the assumptions.
Per-project use
Use Quotify when a serious project pack lands
Start with a structured first pass for each project, then review, adjust and turn it into a quote using your own judgement.
Start with the project information you have
Add drawings, specifications, PDFs, scope notes, photos and supporting documents in one place.
Get the takeoff and cost plan
Materials, labour, plant, quantities, assumptions and missing items are structured for review.
Review it using your judgement
Adjust the numbers using your rates, suppliers, day rates, margin, contingency and experience.
Separate what still needs checking
Keep risks, exclusions, PC sums and provisional areas visible before the number goes to the client.
Present the right level of detail
Move from internal review to a client-ready quote summary only when the number is under control.
Controlled quote review
From incomplete pack to controlled quote
Most project packs are not perfect when they arrive. Drawings change, specs evolve, surveys are missing, and PC sums hide in the detail.
Quotify helps you turn what you have into a structured quote review, so you can see what is priced, what is assumed, what still needs checking, and what should be qualified before the client sees the number.
| Without Quotify | With Quotify |
|---|---|
| Scope spread across drawings, notes and emails | Scope structured into work packages |
| Labour, materials and plant blended together | Costs separated for review |
| PC sums buried in the total | Provisional areas clearly flagged |
| Margin added late or inconsistently | Margin and contingency visible |
| Client gets a number before risks are clear | Quote reviewed before commitment |
Control
A structured first pass, not a final answer
Quotify helps you price better. It does not replace your judgement.
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 fixed-price quote review.
You stay responsible for the final number, margin, contingency, exclusions and client presentation.
Keep the important levers separate
The first pass is useful because the moving parts are visible. You can change the assumptions before the quote becomes a commercial commitment.
- Labour rates
- Day rates
- Material markups
- Plant handling
- Margin rules
- Contingency ranges
- Common exclusions
- PC sums
- Provisional areas
Client presentation and risk
Choose what the client sees, and what you still need to check
Quotify keeps the internal quote review, assumptions and client-facing detail separated, so you can present clearly without hiding risk from yourself.
Choose the right level of detail for the client
- High-level client summary
- Category-level quote with assumptions
- Full internal breakdown for review
- Risks, exclusions and PC sums clearly separated
- Editable structure before anything is sent
Spot the questions before they become variations
- Electrical and plumbing survey points
- Structural information still required
- Drainage and access assumptions
- PC sums and provisional areas
- Missing drawings or incomplete details
- Margin and contingency checks before quoting
Before & After
Before and after for a fixed-price project quote
The pricing still needs your judgement. Quotify makes the takeoff, cost plan and risk review easier to check before you commit to the client.
Before
Pricing from incomplete information
The project moves toward a fixed price while drawings, assumptions and scope questions are still unsettled.
- Drawings, specs, emails and site notes sit across separate places
- Rough Excel, day rates or gut feel carry too much of the pricing logic
- Labour, materials, plant, margin and contingency get blended together
- PC sums, provisional areas and exclusions are easy to bury
- The client sees a number before every assumption has been checked
- If the final price is wrong, the risk still sits with you
After
One controlled fixed-price quote 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, cost plan and risk review
- Labour, materials, plant, assumptions and allowances are separated
- Margin, contingency, PC sums and exclusions can be checked before sending
- You correct the assumptions and keep control of the final number
- You choose the client summary, category quote or full internal breakdown
