Understanding Construction Estimating Software Costs

When evaluating construction estimating software costs, UK builders need to consider far more than just the monthly subscription fee. The true cost of estimating software includes the time saved, accuracy improvements, and additional revenue from winning more jobs. At £39.99 per month, EasyEstimate delivers exceptional value compared to traditional alternatives that can cost thousands of pounds per year.

Many construction businesses initially balk at paying for estimating software, preferring to stick with spreadsheets or manual calculations. However, the hidden costs of these outdated methods are substantial.

What Makes Our Pricing Fair and Transparent

No Hidden Fees or Surprise Charges:

Unlike many software providers, we believe in complete transparency. Your £39.99 monthly subscription includes everything listed – there are no setup fees, no charges for updates, and no extra costs for essential features. You get full access to all 100,000+ material prices, every calculator, all templates, and unlimited customer quotes. Many competitors charge extra for these features or limit how many estimates you can create.

Free Tier Lets You Test Everything:

Don’t take our word for it – test EasyEstimate yourself with our completely free tier. You’ll get full access to every feature including all 100,000+ material prices, every calculator, unlimited customers, and unlimited estimates. The only limitation is you can’t download or send the estimates to clients until you upgrade.

Cancel Anytime, No Contracts:

We don’t lock you into long-term contracts. If you don’t like the system, simply cancel at ANY time with no penalties or fees.

Comparing Software Costs vs Traditional Methods

Let’s examine the real costs of different estimating approaches for a typical UK builder pricing 3-4 jobs per week:

Spreadsheets (£0/month software, but…)

While Excel or Google Sheets cost nothing, the time investment is enormous. Most builders spend 2-4 hours creating each estimate manually, calling merchants for prices, calculating labour costs, and double-checking formulas. That’s 8-16 hours per week just on estimating. If your time is worth £30/hour (a very conservative estimate for a business owner), you’re losing £240-480 per week in opportunity cost – money you could earn on site or managing your business.

Additionally, spreadsheets don’t update material prices automatically, leading to outdated estimates that either lose you money or make you uncompetitive. One builder we work with lost over £8,000 on a single project because his timber prices were six months out of date when he won the job. EasyEstimate costs less than £10 per week and would have prevented this loss entirely.

Traditional Estimating Software (£1,200-3,000/year)

Many established construction estimating packages cost between £1,200-3,000 per year per user, often with limited material price databases and clunky interfaces. These expensive options typically require extensive training, charge extra for updates, and lock you into annual contracts. Some charge additional fees for integrations with accounting software or limit the number of estimates you can create. At £480 per year (£39.99 x 12), EasyEstimate delivers the same core functionality for a fraction of the price.

Professional Estimating Services (from £90 + VAT per estimate)

We also offer professional estimating services starting at £90 + VAT, which is excellent for complex commercial projects, large extensions, or when you need expert help with challenging estimates. However, if you’re pricing standard domestic work multiple times weekly, using our software yourself becomes far more cost-effective. Four estimates per week via our service would cost £1,440+ per month, whereas the software at £39.99 monthly lets you create unlimited estimates. Many builders use both – the software for routine domestic work and our estimating service when they win a particularly complex project that requires specialist attention.

The Return on Investment: How Quickly Does It Pay for Itself?

At £39.99 per month, EasyEstimate pays for itself remarkably quickly through three key benefits:

Time Savings

Our customers report reducing estimate creation time by 60-75%. If you previously spent 3 hours per estimate and now spend 45 minutes, you’re saving 2.25 hours per estimate. For a builder pricing 4 jobs weekly, that’s 9 hours saved per week – more than a full working day. At £30/hour, that’s £270 per week in time you can spend earning money on site or growing your business. The software pays for itself in time savings alone within the first week.

Increased Accuracy and Profit Protection

Calculation errors and outdated prices cost builders thousands annually. One customer told us he underpriced a kitchen extension by £4,500 because he miscalculated the brickwork and his cement prices were 18 months old. EasyEstimate’s live material prices and automatic calculations eliminate these costly mistakes. Preventing just one significant pricing error per year more than justifies the annual subscription cost of £479.88.

Win Rate Improvement

Professional, detailed estimates impress clients and demonstrate expertise. Our customers report improving their quote conversion rate by 10-20% simply because their estimates look more professional and comprehensive. If you’re currently pricing £500,000 annually and winning 40% of quotes, improving your win rate to just 44% means an additional £20,000 in annual revenue. Even a fraction of that increase pays for the software hundreds of times over.

What You Get for £39.99 Per Month

Every paid subscription includes comprehensive features that would cost thousands if purchased separately:

Live Material Price Database (Value: £500+/year)

Access to over 100,000 constantly updated material prices from major UK suppliers and merchants. Never worry about outdated prices causing you to lose money on jobs.

Professional Labour Rate Calculators (Value: £300+/year)

Built-in calculators that help you accurately estimate labour costs for all common construction tasks, ensuring you price your time correctly.

Customizable Templates Library (Value: £200+/year)

Pre-built templates for common job types that you can customize to match your business. Create estimates in minutes instead of hours.

Professional Quote Generation (Value: £400+/year)

Generate unlimited professional-looking quotes and estimates that can be emailed or printed with your company branding and logo.

Job and Customer Management (Value: £300+/year)

Track all your jobs, customers, invoices, and payments in one place. Create work schedules, manage resources, and monitor your business dashboard.

Unlimited Updates and Support (Value: £200+/year)

Regular software updates with new features, ongoing email support (or telephone support with annual subscription), and access to our growing library of resources.

Annual Subscription: Save 17% and Get Extra Benefits

While our monthly subscription offers excellent flexibility, many customers choose the annual option at £399.99 per year (saving £79.89 compared to monthly). This works out to just £33.33 per month – less than £8 per week for professional estimating software. Pay annually and enjoy better value plus the convenience of not thinking about monthly payments.

Significant Savings

Save over £79 per year compared to monthly billing – equivalent to getting two months free. For businesses that know they’ll be using the software long-term, the annual option provides better cash flow management and locks in current pricing for the full year ahead.

Dedicated Account Manager

Annual subscribers receive a dedicated account manager who can provide personalized guidance and priority support for your business needs.

Data Import Service

We’ll help import your existing quotes and customer data (format dependent), saving you hours of manual data entry and letting you hit the ground running.

Who Should Choose EasyEstimate?

Domestic Builders and Extensions Specialists

If you’re primarily quoting domestic extensions, renovations, loft conversions, or similar residential work, EasyEstimate is designed specifically for your needs with appropriate templates and pricing.

Growing Businesses Moving Away from Spreadsheets

Once you’re quoting more than a couple of jobs weekly, spreadsheets become a bottleneck. If you’re spending more than 4 hours weekly on estimates or you’ve made costly pricing mistakes, upgrading to proper estimating software is essential for growth. At £39.99 monthly, there’s no financial barrier to making this critical step forward.

Sole Traders and Small Teams

Unlike expensive enterprise software that requires extensive training, EasyEstimate is intuitive enough for anyone to use immediately while being powerful enough to handle complex estimates accurately.

Builders Focused on Professional Image

First impressions matter. Professional, detailed estimates demonstrate competence and attention to detail, helping you stand out from competitors still using handwritten quotes or basic spreadsheets.
