Kreo Alternative
A Kreo alternative — AI takeoff plus a full priced scope & design studio
Kreo brought AI takeoff to estimating. Suddeco takes the same idea further — connecting the takeoff to a priced scope, materials, and photoreal renders in one connected workspace.
Suddeco is a Kreo alternative for UK contractors. Both use AI to take off drawings; Suddeco adds a full priced scope of works, a materials marketplace and a photoreal design studio — so one workspace takes you from drawing to priced scope to a design that wins the job. From £49/month.

Suddeco connects the takeoff to a structured priced scope of works — areas, stages, tasks and materials — with live UK rates.
Materials built in
A materials marketplace links your scope to real products, so pricing and procurement live in the same place.
