ChatQuoteQuoting software for builders
Building quotes drafted while the homeowner is still on your website
The assistant asks about planning, drawings and size, captures the homeowner’s details and drafts an itemised quote and proposal from your own rates.
30-day free trial · No card needed · Set up from your website
An extension enquiry rarely arrives with enough to price. You need the planning status, drawings and a floor area before you can say anything, and the homeowner is already emailing two other firms.
ChatQuote puts an assistant on your website that asks those questions while the homeowner is there, then drafts an itemised quote and a branded proposal from the rates in your past quotes.
Nothing is sent until you approve it. You see the transcript, change the quote by saying what to change, and decide whether the chat gives a ballpark range or leaves prices to you.
The questions it asks before it prices an extension
It learns them from your past quotes and your website, and you can add your own rules in plain English.
Is planning permission in place?
Approved plans mean a firmer scope. Without them, the quote can flag the planning stage as a separate step.
Are there structural drawings?
Steel sizes and foundations come from the engineer. The quote notes whether drawings exist or are still to be commissioned.
What size, in square metres?
Floor area drives labour, materials and waste, and whether it is ground or first floor changes the structure. Your rates turn it into lines.
Which finish level?
A basic finish and a high-spec kitchen are very different jobs. The answer sets the allowances in the quote.
What a building quote looks like
Itemised by stage, with the assumptions a builder would otherwise write in by hand.
Line items by stage

Quoting software for builders: common questions
How do builders quote for an extension?
Usually from a site visit and drawings. ChatQuote gathers the planning status, drawings, size and finish level first, so the draft quote and any visit start from a clear scope.
Can a chatbot give a homeowner a price for building work?
It can give a non-binding ballpark range from your rates if you allow it, or keep prices out of the chat. The itemised quote is drafted for you to check before anything is sent.
Will it quote from my own rates?
Yes. Upload past quotes as PDF, text, Markdown or CSV and it learns your rates, VAT and terms. You can see what it learned and correct it in plain English.
