Turn drawings into a priced quote in minutes.
For contractors and subcontractors. Quoting is where you start on BuildFlow: upload the client's drawings, describe the job in plain English, and send a branded PDF the same day. Win the work and it becomes a contract you run in the same place.
First 2 AI-assisted quotes free. No card. Manual quoting free forever.
Watch a quote come together
From drawings to a sent, tracked quote, recorded on a real account. No mock-ups.
From drawings to a sent quote in four steps
Upload and describe
Upload the client's drawings or plans and describe the job in your own words. No templates to fight with.
AI drafts your BoQ
Quote Builder reads the drawings and drafts an unpriced bill of quantities, organised by section, in minutes instead of an evening.
Price it your way
Add your rates, overheads and contingency. Pull live material prices from UK builders' merchants and apply your trade discount.
Send and track
Send a branded PDF with a shareable link. See when it's viewed, answer questions in one thread, and mark it won.
Everything you need to quote, nothing you don't
AI bill of quantities
Drawings in, structured BoQ out. Sections, quantities and units drafted for you to check and price.
Live merchant material pricing
AI searches UK builders' merchants for current ex-VAT prices, then applies your trade discount.
Branded PDF quotes
A professional, consistent quote with your details on it. Sent by email with a shareable link.
One thread per quote
Client questions and your answers live on the quote, not scattered across texts and voicemail.
Status tracking
Know when a quote is viewed, commented on, accepted or declined. Chase at the right moment.
Works with BuildFlow projects
Quote a developer who runs BuildFlow and it lands straight in their dashboard, ready to become a contract.
Quoting is just the start
When you work for a developer or PM who runs BuildFlow, the whole job runs through the same login, and every bit of it is free for you, on the web and on your phone.
Applications for payment
Submit valuations against the agreed bill of quantities and see exactly what got certified, line by line, with reasons for any revision.
Payment visibility
What's certified, what's outstanding, what retention is held and when it releases. No more chasing by phone on a Friday.
Documents & drawings
Every current drawing and document shared with you in one place. New revisions supersede old ones so you never build off a stale drawing.
Project messages
One thread per project with your PM. Instructions and decisions in writing, where you can find them later.
Working on a BuildFlow project is free for contractors, forever. You only ever pay for AI quotes on your own jobs.
Your quotes flow straight into your dashboard.
Quoting is where you start on BuildFlow, not a thing off to the side. Every quote you send lives in your contractor dashboard, and when you win the work it becomes a contract you run in the same place: applications for payment, certified valuations, retention and CIS, all without re-typing a thing. Quote any client you like. When the client runs BuildFlow too, your quote lands in their dashboard, ready to become a contract on both sides.
Simple pricing
No subscription. Pay per AI quote, only when you use it.

Questions contractors ask
Do I need to be invited by a project manager?+
No. Sign up yourself in two minutes and start quoting. A PM invite is only needed if you're joining a live BuildFlow project, and if that happens later, it's the same login.
What's free and what's paid?+
Building and sending quotes manually is free forever, with no limits. AI-assisted quotes (drawing take-offs with merchant material pricing included) come with 2 free uses, then £12 per AI quote: pay as you go, no subscription. No card needed to start.
Do my clients need BuildFlow?+
No. Every quote goes out as a branded PDF with a shareable web link that anyone can open. If your client does use BuildFlow, the quote also appears in their dashboard automatically.
Is Quote Builder separate from BuildFlow?+
No. It's where contractors start on BuildFlow. You quote from the same account you'd use to run a won job, so your quotes, contracts, applications and payments all sit in one dashboard. Quote any client you like, whether or not they use BuildFlow.
I already work on a BuildFlow project. Does this cost me anything?+
No. Working on a BuildFlow project (submitting valuations, uploading documents, messaging your PM) is free forever, whether or not you use Quote Builder.
