Who it's for

Built for UK subcontractor owners.

If you're running 5–20 bids a month and can't justify a full-time estimator, this is for you. Submit more bids, win more jobs, no hiring.

Bid more without hiring

Clear the takeoff bottleneck that caps how many jobs you can chase each week. Put more numbers in front of main contractors.

Nothing to install

No estimating software to buy or install. Email us the construction PDF and we return the takeoff as a clean PDF and CSV.

Pay per drawing

£20 per drawing. No minimums, no monthly fee, no contract. Use us on one bid or fifty, same flat rate.

Pricing

One price per drawing. No seats. No contracts.

Send an email, pay with a card and that's the whole commercial model. Cancel any time by simply not sending the next drawing.

FAQ

The questions UK subs ask before their first drawing.

Is my drawing confidential?

Yes. PreConstruct is a UK Ltd and GDPR-compliant. After we deliver your takeoff, cropped plans (with architect title blocks and project details removed) and the extracted measurements may be used to improve our accuracy. Opt out any time by replying to the email, or ask us to delete the drawing entirely.

How accurate is the takeoff?

Every sheet is AI-extracted and then human-reviewed before it hits your inbox.

What file types can I send?

PDF and Multi-page drawing packs are fine; we will pick the right sheets.

How do I pay?

The first 2–3 drawings are free, no card. After that it's £20 per drawing via Stripe, or invoiced monthly if that suits your accounts.
