A starting price worth checking
The builder had worked through a rough price for a shell-only residential project. During an early review, £180,000 was discussed as a price benchmark.
He wanted a clearer view of the job without spending hours on every calculation or losing control of his own pricing.
The builder’s review made the difference
The first Quotify output, around £280,000, needed work. The builder challenged plant costs, site preliminaries and scope assumptions, and the estimate was refined through an assisted review.
The revised Quotify result was reported at around £229,000. The builder still decided the final price to put in front of his customer.

A £228,000 quote—and the job won
On 20 June, the builder confirmed that he had quoted £228,000 and won the job.
That winning price was £48,000 above the early £180,000 benchmark. A detailed estimate, a proper review and the builder’s own judgement gave him more to work with before deciding his price.

Bring the drawings, check what the job includes and challenge the costs that do not fit how you will build it. Quotify gives you a detailed starting point; you set the price.
The £48,000 compares the reported winning quote with an early benchmark. It is a quoted-price difference, rather than a measured increase in profit.
