Trusted by teams already running our tools
Construction pricing is too specific for off-the-shelf estimating software, so it stays in a workbook that one or two people really understand — and every enquiry waits for them. We build construction estimating software around the rules you already price by. Safer Sphere's fee proposals went from 1½ hours to about 10 minutes.

It is not the time to fill it in. It is everything that follows from only one person being able to.
The person who understands the pricing is also the person doing the work you are pricing. Quotes go out slowly because they go out last, and the ones that go out slowest are the ones you lose.
A workbook grown over years, with rates in three places and a formula somebody patched in 2019. It is almost certainly right. Almost is doing a lot of work in that sentence, on a number you are committing to.
Copy the nearest previous job, change what needs changing, hope nothing left alone mattered. It is the fastest way to price and the easiest way to carry a mistake forward into a job you win.
What did we price that at last time? What is our win rate at these rates? Where did the margin go? The answers are in forty workbooks in a folder, so nobody asks.
Construction quoting software shaped by how you already price — not a product asking you to price its way.
Rate libraries, uplifts, per-stage and per-spec logic and the exceptions that never fit a product — held once, changed once, and applied to every quote from then on. When rates move, they move everywhere.
The priced quote becomes the proposal that goes out — on brand, in your format, with the right scope and terms for the work being quoted. This is the step that used to take an hour and a half.
Once the rules are in software, whoever picks up the enquiry can produce a quote that prices the way your senior estimator would — and the estimator reviews it instead of building it from scratch.
Every quote in one place with what was priced, what was sent, what came back and at what margin — so "what is our win rate on that kind of work" becomes a question with an answer.
Quotes are usually where it starts. The rest of the admin we automate is what people come back for.
Different ends of the sector — a national consultancy and a specialist supplier — and both were quoting out of a workbook.
Safer Sphere — a national construction consultancy. We built their fee estimating, and proposals went from 1½ hours to about 10 minutes.
A specialist supplier working nationwide, where every job is priced differently. We replaced the estimator's workbook with a quoting tool the whole team can use — so the pricing logic stopped living in one file on one machine.
Longer reads on the reporting side of the same problem — the spreadsheets downstream of the quote.
Reporting and CVR are their own job — how we handle dashboards and reporting.
Off-the-shelf estimating tools come with someone else's pricing model, and you fit your rates into it. We do the opposite: we take the way you already price — the stages, the rates, the exceptions, the judgement calls — and build software around that. If a product already fits how you price, buy it. We will tell you so.
Complicated pricing is the reason to do it. Simple pricing is already handled by off-the-shelf tools; it is the per-stage, per-spec, per-mix, depends-on-the-client pricing that stays in a spreadsheet, because no product covers it. If your estimator can explain the rules, we can build them.
Those stay with the estimator. The aim is not to replace their judgement — it is to stop them spending an hour rebuilding a document before they get to use it. The system does the assembly and the arithmetic, and hands over a draft they review and adjust.
No. We connect to the accounting, CRM and project systems you already pay for — Xero, SharePoint and similar — so a quote does not need re-keying once it is won.
A single well-understood quoting workflow is typically weeks rather than quarters, and you see it working on your own rates early. Projects usually run from £3,000 to £6,000 and ongoing retainers from £750 to £1,500 a month — what drives the number is set out on the pricing page.
Show us how you price one. We will tell you what could come out of the spreadsheet, roughly what it would cost, and if it is not worth doing we will say so.
