Quoting software for UK groundworkers

For groundworkers and civil specialists — AI drafts foundation scopes, photos document ground conditions, e-signature on every job.

AI-generated wording is a draft. Always review the AI scope before sending to your customer. Real prices come from your supplier costs and labour rates, not the AI.

Groundworkers quote complex work where ground conditions, access, and waste disposal can swing prices significantly. The job often comes after another trade has been on site (architect, builder, structural engineer) and the customer needs a clear breakdown of what's included.

TailoredQuote handles the detail. AI drafts scopes including excavation depth, sub-base type, drainage, concrete grade. Photos document existing ground, waste skips, access constraints — all reasons your price is what it is.

Frequently asked questions

How do I quote for unknown ground conditions?

Most groundworkers quote a base price plus contingency line items for "unforeseen conditions" — the AI drafts these explicitly. Your contract should make clear that hidden conditions are quoted separately.

Can I quote in stages (excavation → foundations → backfill)?

Yes — line items can be milestone-based. Customer sees clearly what is paid at each stage.

Photos help with what?

Justifying access and waste-disposal costs. A photo of a tight terrace garden access vs an open driveway access explains 30% price differences instantly.
