For UK building contractors and the estimators who price for them
Your structural and architectural drawings, priced in minutes.
Upload the architect's and engineer's pack. Quantise reads it, lists every structural and shell material it finds, matches each line to a real merchant product at trade rates, and hands you an editable Bill of Materials and Quote under your own letterhead.
PDF or CAD drawing packs. Steel, timber, masonry, foundations, roof and the fixings between them. Your rates always win over ours.

Who it is built for
The jobs you price yourself, in the evening, after the day on site.
Small and medium contractors
Extensions, loft conversions, structural alterations and small new builds. The firms where the principal, or one working estimator, prices every job personally.
In-house and freelance estimators
An estimator pricing for several builders runs more packs than any one of them. Quantise carries between client firms, with each quote under the right name.
Single-merchant honest
Without a buying-group deal, one merchant's trade price is a fair price. That is the price we start from, and the one you replace with your own.
How it works
Four steps from a drawing pack to a quote you can send.
Upload the pack
Drop in the structural and architectural drawings, as PDF or CAD. A scan check tells you what the pack contains and what is missing, before anything runs and before anything is charged.

CheckBefore anything bills
The drawings are read
A frontier vision model reads the pack the way an estimator does: beams, columns, padstones, joists, lintels, blockwork, foundations, roof. Each line carries its drawing reference, and anything the read is unsure of is flagged for your eye rather than hidden.

Every line is priced
Each line resolves to a real catalogue product at trade rates. Put in your own rates, product by product or as a spreadsheet, and they are used first on every job from then on. Add margin by section, add or remove lines, and the totals follow.

Out the door, and on to buying
Export the quote as a PDF or Excel file under your own letterhead, with the columns you choose. Then raise purchase orders by supplier straight from the quote, and the Order Book shows what has been bought against each product and what is still to order.

Honest by design
A faithful slice of the job, and it says so.
Every quote states its scope
The quote is the structural and shell materials that can be read off the drawings, at merchant rates. It supports your estimating. It never pretends to be the contract sum.
No Bill of Materials, no charge
A read either completes or it does not bill. There is no partial result, and nothing runs without you pressing the button.
Your drawings are not kept
Drawings are deleted once they have been read. What stays is your output: the lines, the prices and the documents you made. Hosted in the EEA.
What is inside
One account, the whole run from drawings to delivery.

Pricing and the pilot
A subscription and a price per scan. Never a token.
Quantise is in a working pilot with UK contractors on real jobs. The prices are being set against those jobs, so they are not published yet. The shape is settled:
Platform subscription
Monthly or annual. Every module, the editable grids, your price management, and your portfolio of jobs kept for you.
Per scan
One scan is one read of one uploaded pack. The architect's and engineer's drawings for a job count as one. Everything after the read, including re-pricing, edits and exports, is free.
Pilot accounts run on real jobs with us watching the read line by line. If you price small works and want an earlier evening, ask for a place.
