How it works

Three steps. No software to learn.

You keep building. We do the measuring.

STEP 01

Send the drawings

Email or WhatsApp us the plans and elevations as PDFs or photos, with any spec you have. Rough sketches with dimensions work too.

STEP 02

We measure & price

We take off every wall — cavity, solid, blockwork, gables — deduct openings, apply proper waste factors, and price to current merchant rates or your own.

STEP 03

Takeoff back in 24 hrs

You get a clear materials schedule, labour estimate and total, as a PDF and Excel sheet — ready to drop straight into your quote or merchant order.

Why us

We're from the brick trade

Most estimating services cover every trade shallowly. We do one thing properly: brick and block. That means correct coursing, realistic waste on facing bricks, sensible gang outputs — numbers a bricklayer would sign off, not a spreadsheet guess.

Typical estimating firms charge £250+ and take days. Because we specialise, we're faster and cheaper — and if we've missed something, revisions are free until you're happy.

FAQ

Common questions

What do you need from me?

Plans and elevations as PDF or clear photos, plus anything you know about the spec (brick type, cavity width, mortar mix). If dimensions are missing we'll flag our assumptions rather than guess silently.

Whose prices do you use?

Current typical merchant rates by default, or send us your own rates and we'll price to those — most regulars do, so the totals match what they actually pay.

How accurate is it?

Quantities are measured digitally from your drawings using standard UK sizes and stated waste factors, with every assumption written down. If the drawings change, revisions on the same job are free.

Do you cover my area?

Yes — it's a remote service, so we cover the whole of the UK. Everything happens over email or WhatsApp.

Do you do other trades?

Not yet, on purpose. We specialise in brick and blockwork so the numbers are right. Other trades may follow.

How do I pay?

Invoice with the completed takeoff — bank transfer. No payment up front for your first job; we'd rather earn the trust.
