Read a real one

A garage conversion and rear extension priced from the architect's pack. 164 measured lines, £216,610.14. The scheme is renamed and the client removed. Every quantity and every measurement note is exactly as we issued it.

NOTE

Rates on the sample

Published in full for facilitating works, substructure, fittings, services, external works and preliminaries — £69,425.09 of the bill. Take a line, check the quantity against the drawing reference in its note, multiply by the rate. It will hold.

Withheld for superstructure, internal finishes and work to the existing building. Those lines still show scope, quantity and measurement basis, and the element totals are given, so the bill still adds up. The rate library is the part a competitor would copy. Your own estimate shows every rate.

Samples are watermarked. Yours are not.

Measured, not guessed

The take-off engine reads the drawing itself: areas, wall runs, openings, structural members. It confirms the scale from the printed bar rather than trusting the stated ratio, because reduced prints are common and assuming 1:50 on a sheet that printed at 1:52 puts every quantity out by four per cent.

FIG. 1 — Illustrative plan. Your estimate is measured from your own drawings, and every line records the sheet and dimension it was taken from.

Traced to the sheet

Each line records the drawing and dimension it came from, so any number can be checked in seconds.

Labour and materials split

Every rate is broken down, so you can see what you are being told a job costs and why.

Checked by a person

Nothing is released automatically. A qualified estimator reviews the output before it reaches you.

It goes out as yours

You get a private panel for five days. Put your logo on it, set your company details, name your client, and every document rebuilds instantly with your branding. There is no MyQS mark anywhere on what your client receives.

Upload your logo

It sits on the cover and every page, the way your own letterhead would.

Your details, your client's details

Company name, address, registration, accreditations. Addressed to your client by name.

Your rates, if you want them

The panel has a rate sheet. Put in your own labour rates by trade and the whole estimate recalculates in front of you, live. Our quantities, your prices.

Five days to edit and download

Change anything, download as often as you like. After five days the details lock, but your documents stay available on the same link.

For comparison. A typical UK estimating service charges around £120 plus VAT for an extension, then £40 for a programme and £35 for the Excel bill on top, and takes three to five working days. That is roughly £195 net for the same four documents. Ours is £149 all in, and it is back inside the hour.

Questions

Sixty minutes is not long enough to price a job properly.

It is when the measuring is done by machine and the checking is done by a person. The hours that normally go into scaling off drawings are the hours we removed. A qualified estimator still reviews every line before it is released, and nothing goes out automatically.

How do I know the quantities are right?

Every line records the drawing and the dimension it came from. Take any line on the sample, find the reference in the note, check it, and the arithmetic will hold. We also read the scale off the printed bar rather than trusting the stated ratio, because reduced prints are common and a sheet that printed at 1:52 instead of 1:50 puts every quantity out by four per cent.

What if my drawings are not good enough?

If a set cannot be priced properly we tell you before we start, not after. In practice a planning set with dimensioned plans and elevations is enough.

Can I change the rates to my own?

Yes. Your panel has a rate sheet: put in your own labour rates by trade and the whole estimate recalculates in front of you. Your rates, our quantities.

Does my client see MyQS anywhere?

No. Every document carries your logo and your company details and nothing of ours. That is the point.

Do I need an account?

No. No signup, no subscription, no software to learn. You get a link to a panel that stays open for five days.

Start your estimate

Upload the drawings and tell us what you are pricing. The clock starts when your payment clears.

0/20 minimum. The more specific you are, the closer the estimate — this is the single biggest thing you control.

Drawings

Payment taken by Stripe. We never see your card details.

Estimates are prepared from the drawings you supply. We do not carry out a site visit, so existing conditions, ground conditions and buried services are not verified on site. Working hours 8:00–18:00 Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. Purchases are non-refundable once work has begun.
