What builders say

Used by builders
across the UK.

I described my extension in plain English and got a full ICF materials list in 40 seconds. It even flagged the corner blocks I'd have missed. Saved me a return delivery and two days.

Marcus T.Self-builder · Bristol

The PRO price comparison is worth the subscription on its own. Showed the client the market average versus what we ordered — £3,200 saving on a single project. They thought I was a genius.

Donna A.Contractor · Birmingham

Used it for a traditional brick extension — nothing eco about it. It still pulled the full materials list including the DPC, mortar and all the lintels. Not just for ICF builders.
