Take-off and estimating software for UK small works
Turn structural and architectural drawings into priced quotes, in minutes.
Upload your architect's and engineer's packs. Quantiser, the engine inside Quantise, scans the drawings, lists every structural and shell material, and matches each one to a real merchant product at trade rates. The result is a fully editable Bill of Materials and Quote, ready to send under your own letterhead.
Works with PDF or CAD. Covers steel, timber, masonry, foundations, roofing and fixings. Your own rates always override ours.

Who it is built for
Win your evenings back. Price jobs faster, without sacrificing accuracy.
Small and medium contractors
Extensions, loft conversions, structural alterations and small new builds. Built for the builder or estimator who personally prices every job.
Freelance and in-house estimators
Manage a high volume of drawing packs without the long evenings. Every pack gets the same careful scan, and every quote goes out under the company name set on the account.
Transparent merchant pricing
We start you off with a fair, standard trade price. If you have better rates with your local merchant, plug them in and Quantise uses yours instead.
How it works
Six steps from a drawing pack to the quote and the orders.
Quantiser scans the drawings the way an estimator reads them. It identifies beams, columns, padstones, joists, lintels, blockwork, foundations and roofing. Every item carries its drawing reference, and anything ambiguous is clearly flagged for your review.
Every scanned line comes back priced in the units the merchant sells, with a total for each section and for the job. Edit any line, add margins section by section, add labour and plant, and the totals follow.
Prices start at standard trade rates from a real catalogue. Put in your own rates, product by product or as a spreadsheet, and they are used first on every job from then on. Pack sizes round your orders to whole packs.
Generate professional PDF or Excel quotes under your company letterhead, with the columns you choose, or email them from your own mail app with the PDF attached. The Bill of Materials and every purchase order export the same way.
When you win the job, raise purchase orders by supplier straight from the quote, in the units the merchant sells. The live Order Book then shows exactly what has been ordered against each product, what is still to order, and which order it went on.

Honest by design
Transparent pricing and secure processing.
Clear scope
Our quotes cover the structural and shell materials visible on the drawings. A powerful estimating aid, not a guaranteed final contract sum, and the documents say so clearly.
No result, no fee
You are only charged for successful scans. If a scan fails to produce a Bill of Materials, you do not pay. Nothing runs without your final approval.
Complete privacy
Your intellectual property remains yours. Drawings are deleted as soon as the scan has finished. We securely host only the final outputs, in the EEA: your material lines, your prices and your documents.
What is inside
Everything you need in one account, from drawings to delivery.
Each one has its own page under Features, with the screens and how to use them.
Your jobs on one timeline, drawn from each quote's sections in build order, with a line for today and the weeks where the trades you have cannot cover the work you have won.
Your jobs in numbers: quoted and won by month, spend by merchant, the mark-up you achieved, every figure computed from your own account's lines.
Pricing and the pilot
Simple pricing. No confusing token systems.
A monthly plan that starts you with a bundle of scans; after that you pay per scan, at a lower price the higher your tier, and only for scans that succeed. A scan is one drawing pack. Quantise is in an active pilot with UK contractors, using real jobs to fine-tune the system and the pricing. If you price small works, request a place in the pilot today.
