Estimating software for builders

Quote, measure and manage building work from one Mac app.

TradeQuote Pro combines estimating, drawing takeoff, project workflow, variations, invoices, risk assessments and method statements into one practical system, with a free iPhone companion app for site use and built-in help when you need guidance. It also helps you work from your real daily charge-out rate, so your quotes are built around the margin you need instead of guesswork.

The product

One connected workflow for quoting and project paperwork.

The main purpose of TradeQuote Pro is simple: help builders turn enquiries, drawings and job details into professional quotes, invoices and project records without jumping between separate tools, while keeping labour pricing tied to the charge-out rate the business actually needs.

Estimate

Build task-based prices with labour, materials, markup, VAT/tax wording and clear totals.

Measure

Import drawings, measure from plans and use takeoff values inside the job workflow.

Manage

Keep customers, projects, tasks, variations, milestones, payments and records together.

Protect margin

Use your actual daily charge-out rate so quotes are less likely to drift below the profit margin your business needs.

Built around real building work

Clearer quoting. Better project control.

TradeQuote Pro gives builders a clear route from first enquiry to final paperwork. The site highlights the practical tools that matter most: takeoff, quoting, invoices, variations, sustainability notes, project records and health & safety documents.

From measurement to quotation

Show builders that they can measure, calculate and quote from the same workflow rather than patching together different software.

Health & safety is part of the main product story

Risk assessments and method statements are treated like headline features, not just a hidden extra.
