From plans to priced in three moves.
Drop in the job.
Plans, subbie quotes, client selections. PDFs, scans, photos, the lot. Builder Agent reads them.
It does the takeoff.
It applies your rate card, carpentry hours, market rates and margin, and builds the cost model, with allowances, PC items and provisional sums included.

You sign offUnder the hood
Smart where it counts. Transparent everywhere.
Reads real documents.
Plans, PDFs, scans and photos of subbie quotes. It pulls the numbers out, no re-keying.
Priced on your rules.
Your rate card, your carpentry rate, your margin, your prelims. It estimates the way you would.
Backed by market rates.
Where you don't have a supplier price yet, it carries transparent allowances benchmarked to current market rates.
Every claim is sourced.
The workbook shows its working: assumptions, sources and QA checks, so you can trust the number and defend it.
Beyond the quote
One agent across the whole business.
Quoting is the way in. Once your rates, documents and processes are loaded, the same agent runs the admin around every quote, job and project. Built around how your business already works.
Plan reading & takeoffs
It reads plans, specs, permits, planning documents, supplier information and subbie rates in full detail. Out the other side: a complete quantity list, ready to send to suppliers or hand to the client. A day or two of manual takeoffs, done before smoko.
Rates, pricing & quote support
Load your rates once, by PDF or straight from your CRM. The agent drafts quotes, estimate packs, pricing comparisons and scope summaries, built around your processes and your numbers. Final approval always stays with you.
Agentic project management
Project updates, subbie comms, client summaries, meeting notes, reminders and approval workflows, drafted and kept moving without the manual follow-up. Runs through your CRM's API, or without a CRM at all.
One workspace per job
Every job gets one central home: plans, documents, scope notes, pricing, comms and updates. With the mobile app, the crew can upload documents and add notes from site or from the office.
Where it goes next
Invoices and purchase orders, margin and profitability reviews, tender and proposal support, SOPs, lead handling, business reporting, instant company knowledge search, and a finance agent for P&L, cash flow forecasting and weekly business updates.
