How it works

Built for real UK construction prices

We don't scrape random retail sites. Our database is tuned for the products and price points UK builders and merchants actually use on site.

2,000+ products mapped

From structural timber and insulation to finishes, fixings, and M&E. Each item is mapped to real merchant SKUs and typical pack sizes.

Live trade price bands

We track low / typical / high trade pricing — not just a single figure. That means you can spot an allowance that's too high or a quote that's too good to be true.

Instant list parsing

Paste a free-form materials list and our Matches every line to the closest product in the database. No spreadsheets, no manual lookups.

Coverage

Trade-first pricing across every trade

Our data reflects builders' merchant prices — not retail DIY store tags. That means when you check a material allowance in a quote, you're comparing like for like.

Builder tip

If your builder's material allowance is 20%+ above our typical band, it's worth asking for a breakdown or alternative spec. Our range is a guide — not a guarantee — but it's a powerful sanity check.
