Builders quoting
Turn builder site notes into a clear quote, then track the margin as the job moves.
Common jobs builders price with QuoteBuild
Price from real job shapes, not blank boxes.
These are guide ranges, not fixed prices. QuoteBuild helps you turn each job into a proper itemised quote with labour, materials, margin, and site-specific risks separated.
Why this matters
A client sees a clear explanation. You see whether the quote still works once access, waste, subcontractors, and variations are included.
Cost example
Single-storey extension
£2,000-£3,500+ per m2
Usually includes
Groundworks, shell, roof, openings, first fix, plastering, second fix, and agreed finish level.
Watch out for
Drainage, access, steel changes, glazing upgrades, and kitchen/client-supplied items need clear exclusions.
Cost example
Loft conversion
£40,000-£75,000+
Usually includes
Structure, dormer or roof works, stairs, insulation, first fix, plastering, second fix, and certification.
Watch out for
Scaffold duration, steels, party wall issues, roof condition, and bathroom additions are common margin traps.
Cost example
Full property refurb
£900-£1,800+ per m2
Usually includes
Strip-out, repairs, trade packages, plastering, services, second fix, and agreed finish standard.
Watch out for
Hidden damp, rotten timber, old electrics, client upgrades, and sequencing delays should be priced as risk.
Where builder quotes usually go wrong
These are the cost drivers that turn a good quote into a weak margin.
Extensions and refurbs usually fail on preliminaries, site management, scaffold, and trade coordination rather than the main build line.
The real profit leak is often one subcontractor overrun, one forgotten waste run, or one variation that never got formalised.
A builder quote needs room for site setup, protection, skips, deliveries, admin time, and the weeks when nothing goes exactly to plan.
Built for builders on site.

What usually gets missed on builder jobs
These are the leaks that actually hurt margin on site.
