Where Trade fits your workflow
- Set the project context. Choose the work category, country, area type, size, finish and relevant extras. Separate an extension from a full new build and check that the selected unit matches your measurements.
- Review the planning breakdown. See the modelled labour, materials and preliminaries allocations. Check assumptions and exclusions before using the result in a client conversation.
- Set your markup and share. Adjust markup and client totals, add an optional business logo and export the client PDF. The report gives you something concrete to discuss; it does not turn guide rates into a fixed quotation.
- Keep every job detailed. Every plan saves unlimited top-line estimates. Trade adds full detail, quote checks and PDFs to all of them at once, so you never have to move a Pass between jobs.

Compare quote totals without losing sight of scope
Project Pass (on the project it is assigned to) and Trade (on every project) let you type in the total from each written contractor quote and see whether it sits below, within or above the estimate’s guide range. You enter the totals yourself: Estiquote does not read quote documents, compare specifications line by line, vet contractors or tell you why one contractor costs more. Trade also lets you build a measured scope in Project Studio with your own quantities, rates and sources.
Before comparing totals, check the drawings, inclusions, exclusions, allowances and tax basis yourself. A lower total may simply cover less work. Use the builder quote comparison worksheet to record unanswered questions alongside each offer.
When you need more than Estiquote
Use project-specific measurements, supplier quotations and professional advice for a contractual price. Estiquote is not a drawing take-off tool, live merchant catalogue, accounting system or replacement for a site visit. Its detailed sections are modelled budget allocations rather than an independently measured bill of quantities.
The current app works offline without an Estiquote account and stores projects on the iPhone. It is not a shared team workspace. Restoring a purchase restores eligible access, not deleted local projects. Read the model and data limits.
Architects, engineers and builders: get found
We are building a map of local architects, technicians, structural engineers and builders for homeowners who have already priced their project on Estiquote. It is free to join the waitlist and nothing is published until you agree. Join the professional waitlist.
Buying once for your own renovation?
You may not need a monthly subscription. Project Pass is a one-off purchase for one active homeowner project and includes the detailed breakdown, quote checks and a PDF cost plan; you can move it to another estimate later. Start with the renovation budget planner and choose paid access only when the included tools fit your project.
