How it works

From job description to professional PDF in under 2 minutes. Here's what makes BuildScope different.

AI quote engine

Describe the job in plain English and BuildScope's AI generates a full, itemised quote with materials, labour, overheads, and your profit margin — all priced for your region using real UK trade prices.

Voice-to-quote

On site and don't want to type? Just talk. Describe the job using your phone's microphone and BuildScope converts your voice into a fully priced quote. Perfect for quoting straight from the van.

Full manual control

The AI gives you a solid starting point, but you're always in control. Edit any line item, adjust quantities, change prices, add or remove items. Fine-tune every quote to match exactly what the job needs.

Save as templates

Do similar jobs regularly? Save any quote as a template and reuse it for future projects. Duplicate past quotes in one click, adjust the details, and send. No more starting from scratch every time.

Frequently asked questions

Does it calculate paint quantities?
