Construction estimating and quoting software
SiteLedger builds quotes the way you price a job — labour, materials and plant line by line, then your overhead and profit on top. No spreadsheet to rebuild, no figures left behind when the quote becomes a project.
Quotes built from the way you actually price
Each line covers a cost category — labour by trade, materials, plant hire, subcontractors — with net, VAT and gross on every entry so the numbers reconcile with your supplier bills and daywork sheets.
- Labour priced by trade and day rate
- Materials from your supplier quotes or rate build-ups
- Plant and equipment hire as a line or a total
- Subcontractor packages with their own totals
Overhead and margin, not a guessed multiplier
Add an overhead percentage across the subtotal, then your profit margin on top. VAT is calculated last, so the client sees a clear net and gross total — the same way UK contractors present tenders.
From quote to live project in one move
When the client accepts, the quote moves into Projects and the contract value sits beside the live site record. Recorded costs compare against the quoted figure from day one, so you see real margin, not the estimate.
Variations priced the same way
Pricing a variation uses the same labour, materials and plant breakdown as the original quote. Approved variations raise the revised contract value automatically, keeping your profit figure honest as the scope changes.
Try the maths first with the free calculator
The free cost calculator runs the same overhead, profit and VAT maths on any figures you enter — no sign-up needed. When you want to keep the numbers with the job, start a free project in SiteLedger.
Common questions
Is this a takeoff tool?
No. SiteLedger estimates and quotes from the rates and quantities you already know — your day rates, supplier prices and plant costs. It does not measure drawings, but it turns your figures into a clear, client-ready quote.
Can I reuse rates across quotes?
Yes. Your labour rates, material prices and plant costs stay in your project library, so the next quote starts from your real numbers rather than a blank sheet.
What happens when the quote is accepted?
The accepted quote becomes a project with its contract value, cost ledger and payment schedule attached — no re-keying, no separate spreadsheet to maintain.
What does it cost?
Free for up to ten projects with the full feature set. Paid plans start at £19 a month with a seven-day trial.
