Construction Estimating Software
Construction estimating software that prices a drawing in minutes
Stop rebuilding every estimate from a blank spreadsheet. Suddeco reads the drawing, measures it, and prices it against up-to-date UK rates — then hands you a client-ready quote you can edit line by line.
Suddeco is AI construction estimating software for UK builders and contractors. Upload an architect's drawing and it produces a measured, priced scope of works — areas, stages, tasks and materials with live labour and material costs — in minutes instead of days. You stay in control of every rate and margin. From £49/month.
What you get
Everything from the drawing to a client-ready, priced scope of works — in one connected workspace.
AI reads the drawing
Upload a PDF or image of an architect's drawing. Suddeco detects the scale, finds the rooms and areas, and measures the quantities automatically — no manual point-and-click tracing.
A fully priced scope of works
Every estimate is a structured scope — areas → stages → tasks → materials — with live labour and material costs, not a flat number you cannot defend to a client.
Up-to-date UK rates
Tasks and materials are priced against current UK cost data, so your estimate reflects real prices instead of last year's guesswork.
You control margin and markup
Set your margin globally or override it per project, per stage or per line. The AI does the grunt work; the numbers stay yours.
Client-ready in one click
Export a branded, professional quote and signed client pack — ready to send the same day the enquiry lands.
Estimate anywhere
One account across web, desktop and mobile. Price a job on site, in the van, or at your desk — it all syncs.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is construction estimating software?
Construction estimating software helps builders and contractors work out what a job will cost — measuring quantities from drawings, applying labour and material rates, and producing a priced quote. Suddeco goes further by using AI to measure the drawing for you and generate a full priced scope of works, not just a total.
How accurate are Suddeco's estimates?
Suddeco measures directly from the drawing's detected scale and prices against current UK cost data. You review and adjust every quantity, rate and margin before sending, so the final estimate is as accurate as the drawing and your own rates — with the heavy lifting already done.
Does it replace my estimator or quantity surveyor?
No — it makes them far faster. Suddeco automates the repetitive takeoff and pricing so your estimator or QS spends their time checking, adjusting and winning work rather than tracing drawings by hand.
What drawings can I upload?
Architect's floor plans and elevations as PDFs or images. Suddeco detects the scale, extracts the rooms and areas, and measures the quantities. You can also scan a room with a phone to generate a plan directly.
How long does an estimate take?
Most estimates go from uploaded drawing to a priced scope of works in minutes rather than the hours or days a manual takeoff and build-up takes.
How much does Suddeco cost?
Plans start at £49/month. Homeowners can get an instant estimate for their own project at suddecohomes.com.
