How the Quote Checker works

We read every line of your quotation and match it to our price list of building materials, labour and common work items. A price within 15% of our rate for your city is treated as normal. Anything above that is flagged, and the amount above the top of the normal range is shown as a possible saving.

Lines with no quantity (lump sums), or measured in a different unit from our list (for example sand in trips rather than tons), are shown but not judged. A higher price isn't always wrong — brand, specification and delivery distance matter — so use the results to ask your contractor good questions. Want a full estimate instead? Try the Building Cost Estimator or upload a bill of quantities to BOQ Import.
