Talk through the job. The quote writes itself.
This is a real example using the starting rate card for a builder. Your own prices replace these the moment you edit them.
“Single-storey extension, eighteen square metres, knock-through with a steel, two skips”
becomes a priced, itemised quote in seconds.
Price by the square metre
Set your rate per m² for extensions and brickwork, per metre for foundations and per day for labour. Every line is worked out to the penny.
Plans in, scope out
Upload the drawings and QuoteEdge drafts a scope of work with quantities, priced at your rates, for you to check before anything is sent.
Stage payments that protect your cash
Bigger jobs carry a payment schedule on the quote, so the customer agrees how and when you are paid before work starts.
Labour and subbies costed the same way
Keep your own day rates and subcontractor rates beside your materials, so every job is costed on the same basis.
The builder rate card we start you with.
Typical UK starting prices for a builder, in the units you price in. They are a starting point, not a recommendation. Change any of them, add your own, and set separate trade and agent prices.

Deposits, then the balance
The deposit invoice is raised on acceptance. The final invoice deducts it, to the penny.

Can I quote an extension from drawings?
Yes. Upload the plans as a PDF or photo and QuoteEdge drafts the scope and quantities from them. You check every line before it is sent, and the prices always come from your own rate card.
Does it handle stage payments?
Yes. Larger staged projects get a payment schedule printed on the quote. If you take a deposit, it is invoiced the moment the customer accepts, and the final invoice deducts it.
Can builders and homeowners pay different prices?
Yes. Every rate can have a homeowner price, a trade price and a letting agent price. QuoteEdge picks the right one from the customer type.
