Built for Tradespeople, Not for Accountants
Most estimating tools were designed for quantity surveyors or project managers. TradesMan Quote was designed for a sole trader with a van, a phone, and a client waiting for a price by Friday.
Built Around How You Actually Work
You don't sit at a desk filling in spreadsheets. You're on site, on your phone, under time pressure. TradesMan Quote is designed for exactly that - film a site walkthrough, narrate what needs doing, and the system does the rest. Or upload site photos and PDF drawings if that's what you have. No forms. No training. No learning curve.
Pricing That Reflects the Real Market
Every pricing record in our database has a verified source. Low, average, and high benchmarks give you the full range before you commit. Nine UK regional multipliers mean a London Inner job is priced differently from a North East one - automatically, without you adjusting anything.
Quotes That Look Professional From Day One
A clean, branded A4 PDF with your company logo, full client details, itemised line items grouped by trade, a valid-until date, and a totals block. Looks like it came from a firm that's been doing this for years. Because the document it produces is exactly that standard.
Your Data Stays Yours
All uploaded files are stored in a private Cloudflare R2 bucket with no public access. Files expire 14 days after your quote is approved. Your PDFs are stored permanently. We do not sell data, share client information, or use your content to improve our systems.
More Than Just a Quote
Once a quote is approved, generate a companion materials list with UK merchant cost estimates and wastage allowances. Then add a Gantt chart execution plan showing task sequence, drying times, and calendar dates. Three deliverables from one site visit.
Specifically Built for UK Trades
Not a generic estimating tool retrofitted for the UK. Every pricing record, every regional multiplier, every associated items rule, and every drying time in the execution plan scheduler is calibrated specifically for UK residential trade work. It knows what a tiler adds after a wet room.
Speak or Write in Any Language
Work in your native tongue. Whether your walkthrough narration is spoken in Polish, your client's WhatsApp specification is in Spanish, or your own site notes are in Romanian, our system automatically translates and maps everything into a professional, itemised English quote. Perfect for multi-national trade teams and contractors.
Instantly Copy & Reuse Past Quotes
Don't start from scratch for similar projects. You can now copy a quote's line items and pricing structure directly to any active job under any selected client. Use your best estimates as templates, saving hours of manual data entry and configuration on repeat work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the TradesMan Quote assistant.
Yes! We offer a single-click Instant Test Drive. Click 'Try Demo' or 'Instant Test Drive' on the home page or pricing page, and you will be instantly logged in to a secure demo session in under 1 second without typing any email or password. You can test-drive the scoping scanner, materials generator, and Gantt charts with a trial limit of 2 quotes.
To keep uploads fast, we limit videos to 50MB (typically up to 3 minutes long). We recommend setting your phone camera to Standard HD (720p) before recording. High-quality 4K videos will exceed 50MB quickly and be rejected. A 720p walkthrough fits easily and provides perfect clarity for our smart scanner.
No, but it is highly recommended! Our intelligent system processes the audio track. If you speak out loud while recording (e.g. 'I need two sockets here' or 'Client wants this wall tiled in herringbone style'), the system transcribes it and logs those verbal directions directly in the scope notes.
Absolutely. The intelligent system produces a complete draft quote, but you retain 100% control. You can edit line item descriptions, modify quantities, swap price points between LOW / AVG / HIGH, add search pricing items from the database, or type in a custom price override.
Our system has over 600 pre-loaded average trade rates across Tiling, Plumbing, Electrical, Decorating, and Bricklaying. These rates serve as a baseline starting point - you can adjust every single line, quantity, and price manually before sending the quote to your client. The system also automatically applies UK regional price multipliers based on the job's location.
When you approve a quote, the smart system reviews your final line items. It strips out labour, applies standard trade wastage margins (+10% tiling, +5% paint), and groups materials into a Purchase Order PDF. It also schedules a single-page Gantt timeline chart based on trade sequencing rules and wait times (e.g., plaster drying before painting).
Yes. Once you approve a quote, the system uploads a branded PDF to Cloudflare R2 and produces a secure link. On mobile viewports, the Quote Editor features a Share button that opens your phone's native Share Sheet, allowing you to send the quote directly via WhatsApp, SMS, or Email.
