What contractors say

Built for the trades. Trusted by contractors.

"I used to spend half a Sunday writing up quotes. Now I'm done in 10 minutes and they look more professional than anything I could have put together myself."

Dale Hutchinson

General Builder, Manchester

"Won a £47k kitchen extension job off the back of the first proposal I sent through BuildScribe. The client actually said the proposal was what made the difference."

Ryan Okafor

Main Contractor, Birmingham

"The VAT toggle and payment milestone sections alone saved me an hour per quote. It just knows how construction jobs are structured."

Craig Tennant

Electrical Contractor, Leeds

Why BuildScribe AI

The other tools weren't built for you

Proposify and PandaDoc are great - if you're a SaaS company with a sales team. If you're a UK contractor, they're expensive, overcomplicated, and completely ignorant of how construction work is actually quoted.

Proposify

Built for sales teams closing SaaS deals, not contractors pricing up a shopfit or a loft conversion. There's no concept of trades, no labour rate fields, no VAT toggle, no provisional sums, no retention. The itemised pricing tables it does have are designed for software licensing, not construction scopes. You'll spend more time fighting the template than writing the quote. Starts at $49/mo USD with nothing UK-specific.

BuildScribe AI

Every input field, every default value, every AI prompt is built for UK construction and fit-out work. Trades, units, VAT, payment milestones, retention, exclusions - it's all there, pre-configured, ready to go. You fill in the numbers; we handle the rest.

PandaDoc

A powerful enterprise document platform - if you need Salesforce integrations, e-signature workflows, and a drag-and-drop canvas editor. Most contractors use maybe 5% of what it offers and pay for all of it. Setting it up takes hours. The interface is cluttered. And when it comes to the bits that actually matter for construction - itemised costs per trade, VAT calculations, staged payment schedules, provisional sums - there's nothing. You'd have to build all of that from scratch, every time.

BuildScribe AI

No setup, no configuration, no learning curve. Open a new proposal, enter your scope line by line, and BuildScribe AI calculates the totals, applies VAT, and writes the executive summary and scope narrative for you. A professional PDF is ready in under a minute.

Word / Excel

The reality for most contractors is a Word doc copied from the last job, reformatted by hand, with figures that may or may not have been updated correctly. The maths is manual, the formatting breaks every time you add a row, the branding is inconsistent, and the end result looks like it was knocked together in 20 minutes - because it was. Clients who are comparing three quotes will notice. The one that looks professional wins more often than not.

BuildScribe AI

Consistent, properly branded output on every single proposal. Totals calculated automatically. VAT applied or excluded with one toggle. Staged payments, retention, exclusions, and T&Cs all structured correctly. And an AI-written narrative that ties it all together in language that sounds like your company, not a generic template.
