Compare builder quotes: see what each one leaves out

Not sure if your builder's quote is fair? Upload it and we read every line for what it leaves out, then set the total against a modelled range for your area. Free to try.

Why compare builder quotes?

Builders quote differently

One builder includes scaffolding, another does not. One quotes for plastering, another assumes you will hire someone else. Without a side-by-side comparison, you cannot tell which quote is actually cheapest.

Price alone is misleading

The cheapest quote often has the most missing items. When those extras appear mid-build, you pay more than the most expensive quote would have cost. Our tool flags what is missing before you sign.

How it works

Upload your quotes

Drop in your builder quotes as PDFs, photos or documents and we read them in a few minutes.

Compare on the same basis

Each quote is read line by line for what it covers and what it leaves out, and its total is set against a modelled cost range for your region and project type.

Get a clear verdict

See what is missing from each quote, where the total sits against the local range, and what to ask each builder.

What the tool checks

  • The quote total against a modelled cost range for the job and your region
  • Missing trades and scope gaps your builder left out
  • Vague line items that could hide extra costs
  • Building regulations compliance flags

Frequently asked questions

How many builder quotes should I compare?

Get at least three quotes for any significant building work. That is enough to see where they disagree. Our tool puts them on the same basis and sets each total against an independent range, so you can see whether all three sit in the usual band or not.

Is the quote comparison tool free?

Your first project is checked free, and every quote on it is read. £10 per project unlocks the full report: the total against the local range, scope gaps, regulation traps, and the questions to ask before you sign. No subscription.

What file formats can I upload?

PDF, photos (PNG or JPG), and Word or OpenDocument files. Just drop the file in or pick it from your device, there is no need to retype anything.

How accurate is the comparison?

The benchmark is a modelled range built from published UK cost guides, adjusted by region, not a set of real quotes near you. The reading is automated and can be wrong, so always review the results and ask your builder about any flagged item before you act on it.

Can I compare quotes from different builders for the same job?

Yes. Upload multiple quotes and we will highlight the differences in scope, pricing, and what each builder includes or leaves out. This is the most effective way to spot which quote offers the best value.
