For joiners, by the numbers

Photos in.
Materials out.

Point the camera at the plans, the sketch or the job itself. What Materials reads the evidence against UK building regulations and writes the bill of materials — live merchant prices and a 10% waste allowance already on it.

How it works

  1. 1
    Snap the evidence

    Architect plans, a pencil sketch, the room, the back of an envelope. Add a note if you like — “garage, flat roof, 7.4 × 3m”.

  2. 2
    It measures and specs

    The estimator reads the drawings, sizes timber to span tables and insulation to Part L, and flags every assumption it had to make. Nothing hidden.

  3. 3
    You get the order list

    Every line priced against the live merchant cache. Tap any line to use your own price. PDF for the merchant, one-tap email to your branch for a trade quote.

Flat roof joists£869.12
Extension bifold doorsNo estimate
Staircase alterationLabour — not priced
Estimated total, ex VAT£16,927.72

Real output, concept-sketch extension. Amber means “your call” — never a made-up number.

Regs ride shotgun

Approved Documents A, B, F, K, L and M inform the spec — citations on the line, assumptions flagged.

Honest prices

Live Huws Gray cache. No honest match? It says “no estimate” — it never invents one.

You’re the estimator

Tap any line. Accept it, edit it, dismiss it — every change undoable, your prices win.

Labour stays labour

Work lines are kept out of the materials total automatically. Add your own figure if you want it counted.

Works where you do

Installs on Android and iOS, pings you when a list is ready, and behaves on-site.

Lists that remember

Pin the jobs that matter. Estimates are stored against the job — one tap recalculates after a price refresh.
