Quotify
The starting point
The contractor had spent months developing a general-purpose AI workflow for scopes and pricing. They wanted to find out whether Quotify could produce a useful construction estimate from architectural information.
A previously quoted fit-out project gave the team a known figure to compare against.
How Quotify was used
Existing and proposed drawing sets were tested in Quotify during the June pilot. The contractor reviewed the result alongside their own previously prepared quote.
On the call, the Quotify figure was read out as approximately £486,000. The contractor then stated that their quote to the client had been £456,750. They were encouraged by the result, while stressing the need to inspect the final specification in detail.
What came out of the review
The difference was approximately £29,250. Dividing that by the £456,750 prior quote gives about 6.4%, with Quotify’s result higher.
The pilot produced a promising basis for a more detailed scope and specification review. The call also identified a desire for reports tailored to different audiences.
Read the result in context
One useful historical test, not a general accuracy rate
The comparator was a previous client quote, not verified final expenditure or a confirmed sold price. The headline comparison does not prove that every scope item or commercial allowance matched.
Later feedback in September raised a separate project whose generated total was above the customer’s expectation. That does not invalidate this June comparison, but it means this case should not be presented as proof of dependable accuracy across projects.
The customer compared a couple of days of pilot progress with months spent developing their previous workflow. Those are different activities, so they are not used here as a measured estimate-production time saving.
What another builder can take from it
Use a historical project as a calibration exercise. Compare the breakdown and specification as carefully as the total, then repeat the exercise on other projects before relying on a pattern.
