Built for UK tradesmen

Quote it once. We’ll run the rest.

Type it or say it, and the quote writes itself in 30 seconds. Win it, and those same words become the job sheet, the shopping list, the diary and the invoice for you and your lads. Nobody types it twice.

Real jobs, real money

Not projections or averages from someone else’s study. Every figure here is what tradesmen have actually priced in BuilderBuddy, counted straight out of the database.

£427,000: Quoted

Total value of quotes written by tradesmen using BuilderBuddy.

20: UK tradesmen

30 sec: To price a job

Typical time from describing it to a finished quote.

Built for the van, not the office

Price it, win it, run it and get paid for it, all from the phone that’s already in your pocket.

Win it and the job writes itself

Say yes and the stages, the shopping list with quantities and the site checks are already there, off the quote you wrote. You type nothing twice.

Invoice without leaving

Off the payment schedule she already agreed to. Deposit, stage or final. Numbered, VAT split out, your bank details on it. No second app.

Sound like your evenings?

You and your lads didn’t get into the trade for paperwork.

Stop underpricing jobs

Guessing means leaving money on the table. Pull real prices and adjust them to match how you buy.

Stop sending quotes into a black hole

You priced it Tuesday. It is Friday. Did they even open it? Chase and you look desperate; wait and someone else gets the job.

Stop eating the extras

The wall was out of level. You did it anyway, because pricing it properly meant a calculator at 9pm and an awkward conversation. That is your money.

From a chat in the kitchen to money in the bank

No training, no setup, no spreadsheet.

01 Say the job

Talk or type it like you would scribble it on a pad. No forms, no dropdowns.

02 Get the price

Real UK material prices and your own labour rate. Every line shown, all of it editable.

03 Send it and stop wondering

They open it on their phone and tap yes or no. You see the moment they read it. No more quotes vanishing into a WhatsApp thread.

And that’s where everyone else stops.

04 They say yes, and the job sets itself up

The stages, the shopping list with quantities, the site checks and the days in your diary. All of it off the quote you already wrote. You type nothing.

05 The job grows, and you get paid for it

Say what the extra is in a sentence. The same engine prices it off your day rate, and she agrees it before you start, not after.

06 Invoice without leaving

Deposit, stage or final, off the schedule she already agreed to. Numbered, VAT split out, your bank details on it. And you see when she opens it.

Questions

How does the free trial work?

You get 14 days, unlimited quotes, and we don't ask for a card to start. The clock begins on your first quote, so you can sign up and come back to it. After the 14 days you'll need a subscription to make new quotes. Everything you've already made stays yours. Not for you? Walk away. No hard sell.

Are the material prices accurate?

Prices come from our catalogue. Always double-check with your supplier before quoting. We show you everything so you can adjust.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. Works in your browser right now. No download needed. iOS app coming soon.

What kind of work is it for?

Sole traders and small firms. Anything from a £200 tap to a £50,000 refurb, across whatever trades you cover. We take it from the first quote all the way to the final invoice. You price the job once and everything after that fills itself in.

Can I invoice from it?

Yes. Once a job is won you can invoice it without typing anything out again: deposit, stage or final payment, off the payment schedule your customer already agreed to on the quote. Invoices are numbered in order, show the VAT split, carry your address and bank details, and download as a PDF. You also see the moment your customer opens one.

Do I still need Tradify or Xero?

Not for quoting, running the job or invoicing. That is the whole point of starting at the quote instead of at the job. We are not accounting software though. We do not do payroll, VAT returns or bank reconciliation, so if you already file through an accountant or Xero, keep doing that. What you stop doing is typing the same job into two different places.

What happens when the job changes?

You describe the extra in a sentence and the same engine that priced the job prices it, off your day rate, your region and the same material prices. Your customer gets a link, taps yes, and only then does it become billable. That way the first they hear about extra cost is before you do the work, not on the final bill.

How do I get paid?

Bank transfer, the way the trade already works. Your account name, sort code and account number go on every invoice, along with the invoice number to use as the reference, so your customer can pay without having to text you and ask. We never touch your money. Taking payments on your behalf is a regulated business, not a feature, and it means there is no card fee coming out of your work.

I'm not VAT registered. Does it still work?

Yes. Before your first price we ask if you're VAT registered. Say no and your quotes and invoices go out without VAT. You can change it any time in Settings, or switch it for a single quote.

Is my data safe?

Your account is protected with industry-standard security and your jobs stay private. We don't sell your data. Your account, jobs and quotes are stored in Ireland, in the EU. BuilderBuddy is run by Builder Buddy App Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 17240195. We never take payments on your behalf, so no card fees come out of your work.

When is the iOS app coming?

Soon. Join the waitlist and you'll know first.
