For builders and renovators

Carry the site visit into the quote—and the accepted quote into the build.

Setout Pro helps small builders and renovators organise measured rooms, reviewed scope, customer quotation versions and assigned work in one project record.

A clear definition

What should quoting software for builders connect?

For a small builder, quoting software should connect the condition and dimensions recorded at survey with the priced offer and the work the team later receives. That connection matters most on renovation jobs where rooms, exclusions and revisions change the commercial story.

No more sending the latest-looking PDF to site and hoping it matches the customer's decision. Accepted scope has an exact version and a deliberate handover.

How it works

A renovation-ready job chain

Use multiple rooms, imported drawings and manual measurements as the evidence requires. Keep each automated suggestion subordinate to builder review.

  1. 01

    Survey rooms

    Draw or import the existing layout and record the context that affects scope.

  2. 02

    Shape the work

    Separate strip-out, preparation, installation and finishing into clear sections.

  3. 03

    Control the total

    Apply the firm's labour and figures, then preview the customer document.

  4. 04

    Record the decision

    Issue and accept an exact version rather than editing history in place.

  5. 05

    Brief the team

    Divide accepted work into packages for the people delivering the renovation.

In practice

For the builder who also runs the business

  • Use a phone for a compact walkthrough or a tablet for a full plan review on site.
  • Keep notes and room identity beside the measured geometry instead of relying on memory.
  • Retain builder judgement over allowances, exclusions, waste and customer price.
  • Issue professional customer documents without exposing internal margin.

The honest boundary

Builder boundary

  • Setout Pro does not replace structural design, building control or a qualified survey.
  • Automatic supplier pricing and complete trade assemblies are not live promises.
  • Work packages are not a full construction programme or payroll system.
  • Regulation guidance, when introduced, must remain sourced, dated, auditable and non-blocking.

Questions, answered plainly

Frequently asked questions

Can a small builder use Setout Pro on site?

Yes. The plan workflow is designed for phone and tablet use during a site survey, with builder-confirmed measurements and later quote review.

Does it support renovation quote revisions?

Issued quotation versions remain distinct, so a later draft does not silently rewrite the version a customer reviewed or accepted.

Can the team see accepted work without margin?

Yes. Work presentation can provide assigned scope and progress while keeping internal commercial data away from field viewers.
