Software for Carpenters

The quoting tool built for UK carpenters.

Quote fitted wardrobes, staircases, and joinery packages without underselling your craft.

Built for UK carpenters and joiners pricing work where the visible install is only part of the job. Scribing, templating, hardware, waste, and finishing time all need to be in the number.

No credit card required. Full access to all features.

Example job costs

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

Fitted wardrobe run

£1,800-£5,500+

Usually includes

Carcass, doors, shelving, hanging space, hardware, fitting, scribing, and adjustment.

Watch out for

Awkward walls, high ceilings, spray finish, premium hardware, and client design changes push the job up fast.

Cost example

Internal door package

£120-£280 per door labour

Usually includes

Hanging, hinges, latch, handles, planing, and basic adjustment.

Watch out for

Old frames, fire doors, ironmongery upgrades, and uneven floors add time that cheap per-door rates ignore.

Cost example

Skirting and architrave package

£18-£35 per linear metre

Usually includes

Supply or fit allowance, mitres, fixing, caulk-ready finish, and room-by-room measurement.

Watch out for

Bowed walls, lots of small returns, painted finish prep, and occupied homes need a higher labour allowance.

Common cost traps

Where carpenter quotes usually go wrong

These are the cost drivers that turn a good quote into a weak margin.

Scribing, trimming, templating, and on-site adjustments are where carpentry jobs lose time if you only price the obvious install work.

Bespoke joinery needs waste and offcut allowance because every board, panel, and reveal is slightly different once you get to site.

Hardware upgrades look small on the quote, but hinges, runners, handles, soft-close parts, and fixings add up quickly.

Built for site

Built for carpenters on site.

UK trade rates built in

Pre-loaded timber, sheet material, fixings, and hardware rates so you spend less time estimating and more time building.

Live cost tracking

Handle variations and change orders without losing track of what was in the original contract sum.
