One Session. Built for Your Trade. Yours Forever.
We sit down with you, learn exactly how your business works, and build you a complete AI quoting and estimating system tailored to your trade, your prices, and your suppliers. You walk away with a working system on your phone. No tech knowledge required.
All ongoing app costs are free. No retainer. No subscription to us. Ever.
Book Free Intro CallHow Much Is Your Admin Actually Costing You?
Most tradespeople lose 10–15 hours a week to quoting, invoicing, and chasing materials. Here's what that's worth in pounds.
Where the time goes — before vs. after
Time figures based on what tradespeople actually report. Annual saving uses 48 working weeks. Numbers deliberately conservative — we haven't included the revenue upside from winning more jobs by quoting faster.
What You Walk Away With
After one session with us, you have a complete, tested, working system — on your phone, built around your prices and your trade.
AI System Prompt
A complete instruction set loaded into Claude or ChatGPT — your trade, your day rate, your suppliers, your discounts, your job types. It quotes the way you quote, using your actual prices.
Pre-Written Job Templates
3–6 ready-made scope templates for your most common jobs. Full scope of work, default materials, standard inclusions and exclusions. Quote a standard bathroom in 90 seconds.
Supplier Price List
All your merchants embedded with your trade discount rates. Material costs built in. The AI knows where you buy what and what you pay for it.
VioTrade Setup
Fully configured with your logo, VAT details, payment terms, and invoice template. Automated payment reminders active. Professional quotes sent the same day as the survey.
Personalised Pipeline Guide
A one-page step-by-step on your phone. Scan → Quote → Send → Invoice. The system laid out exactly how you'll use it in the real world.
Loom Video Walkthrough
Screen recording of your specific system. If you ever need a reminder of how something works, it's there to watch back. Takes three minutes.
Pro tier also includes: variation note templates, stage payment schedules, subcontractor pricing logic, and a 30-day check-in call.

Built for Every Trade
The same problems show up across every trade: quoting accuracy, materials waste, merchant runs, admin time, and the gap between finishing work and getting paid. Every one is directly addressed.
Quoting & Estimating
- A builder's quote spans groundworks, brick, block, insulation, roofing, first and second fix. A 10% error on a £40k extension wipes out the entire margin.
- AI takes a site survey, description, or planning application and returns a full materials schedule broken into trades, phases, and line items — cross-referenced against your merchant prices and account discounts. No gut feel.
Scope Creep Documentation
- The three most expensive words in a builder's career: "while you're there, can you just…"
- Describe additional work verbally → AI formats a written change order with an updated price → sent to the client before the end of the day. Every variation charged for, every time.
Subcontractor Scheduling
- AI generates sequenced job plans — who on site in what order, what materials needed before each phase.
- Eliminates the "sparky showed up but the plumber isn't done" delays that kill programme time and reputation.
Cash Flow & Stage Payments
- Builders often invoice irregularly because they're managing a live site and don't have time to write applications for payment.
- AI drafts stage payment requests and invoices in minutes → money comes in faster → business stays solvent. Construction accounts for 16% of UK insolvencies. The common thread is poor financial control, not bad work.
Parts Sourcing on the Fly
- Enormous range of parts — fittings, valves, pumps, cylinders, controls — prices change constantly.
- AI trained on your usual suppliers (Screwfix, Wolseley, City Plumbing, local factors) returns a parts list with current prices for any job description within seconds. No more calling the merchant to check stock from a customer's kitchen.
Emergency Call-Out Quotes
- Called at 7pm about a burst pipe. Customer wants a number before committing.
- AI takes the job description — "landlord, Section 8 property, no hot water, 30-year-old Vaillant" — and returns a probable scope, parts list, and indicative price during the drive time. You arrive with a professional figure.
Repeat Job Templating
- Most plumbers do the same 20–30 jobs repeatedly. Bathroom installs, boiler swaps, radiator additions.
- AI stores templated scopes and BOMs, all updated with current prices. Quoting a standard bathroom suite takes 90 seconds, not 45 minutes.
Same-Day Invoicing
- Average self-employed plumber does 3–4 jobs a day but many invoice weekly or later. A maintenance plumber typically completes 4 jobs a day but only bills 5 chargeable hours — the rest is travel, admin, and parts sourcing.
- AI generates an invoice from a job description on the same day → payment terms start immediately.
Cable Schedules & Materials Lists
- Rewiring a house means calculating cable runs, consumer unit spec, socket and switch counts, lighting circuits, special locations.
- AI takes a room-by-room description and generates a full cable schedule and materials list — reduces prep time and the risk of returning to the merchant 3 metres short of 6mm T&E.
Fixed-Price Quoting Confidence
- Increasingly working on fixed prices for domestic — rewires, consumer unit replacements, additional circuits. Underpricing directly hits margin.
- AI trained with your labour rate, material markup, and overhead allocation builds a fully costed fixed-price quote from the job spec in minutes.
EV Charger & Solar Specification
- Fastest-growing parts of the trade. Involve manufacturer-specific equipment, DNO applications, G99/G98 compliance paperwork.
- Electricians who can spec, quote, and handle the paperwork for EV and solar quickly win more high-margin work. AI assists with spec selection, cost calculations, and application drafts.
Part P & Certification Workflow
- Notifications, Electrical Installation Certificates, Minor Works certificates — every notifiable job has paperwork. Electricians spend 20–30% of their working time on non-electrical admin.
- AI drafts frameworks, pre-populates what it knows, and reminds you what's outstanding at the end of each job.
3D Scanning & Exact Measurement
- Tools like Magicplan eliminate manual measuring entirely. A full room scan takes under a minute and returns exact square metreage for every surface — walls, ceilings, reveals, soffits.
- No equivalent manual process is close in speed or accuracy. The entire cost of a plaster job is driven by square metreage. Getting it right changes everything.
Exact Bag Calculations
- Exact metreage → AI calculates precise bag numbers of finish, bonding, and browning required — accounting for the specific product coverage rate, number of coats, and standard waste allowance.
- On a large commercial project the difference between an accurate BOM and a rough estimate can be £200–500 in materials you can't return.
No More Mid-Job Merchant Runs
- Running out of plaster is one of the most damaging things to a plasterer's reputation. Customer paid for a plastered room — instead they watch a half-finished wall for 2 hours while you drive to the merchant.
- AI-calculated orders placed before the job starts means this simply doesn't happen.
Scale Without Longer Hours
- Surveying, quoting, and ordering materials for 3 jobs in a morning rather than spending a morning on 1 quote.
- The limiting factor stops being admin time and starts being site availability. The 59-year-old plasterer who showed us this system finishes at 2pm. He's been in the trade for 30 years. Someone spent 90 minutes setting it up — now that's his life.
Cut List & Materials Optimisation
- AI takes dimensions → generates an optimised cut list minimising waste across standard sheet sizes → reduces materials cost and the time working it out by hand.
- On a large fitted furniture job this can save a full sheet or more of board, and prevents the industry habit of adding 10–15% waste allowance as protection.
Bespoke Item Pricing
- Pricing a handmade staircase, bespoke fitted shelving, or hardwood front door frame means calculating timber volumes, hardware costs, workshop time, and site time separately.
- AI structures the calculation from a description and returns an itemised quote — prevents the common problem of underestimating workshop prep time, where carpenters most frequently lose margin.
Scope Change Documentation
- Bespoke commissions are particularly exposed to clients changing specs mid-job — different timber, different finish, extra shelves, altered dimensions.
- AI generates written variation records from a spoken description → sends for client approval before work proceeds. Changes cost time and materials but rarely get charged without a formal capture process.
Workshop-to-Site Workflow
- Joiners often fabricate in the workshop and install on site — materials needed in two different locations at different times.
- AI generates a sequenced order schedule: what needs to be in the workshop by Monday, what needs to be on site by Thursday. Nothing stalls because the door lining arrived after the plasterer was already in.
How the Session Works
Before, during, and after — here's exactly what happens.
Book & Prepare (10 minutes from you)
You book, we send a pre-session checklist. All you need to gather: your day rate, your main suppliers and discounts, your most common jobs, and one recent quote as a reference. Ten minutes of prep, maximum.
The Intake Session (75 min – 3 hrs)
Video call or in-person. We work through a structured intake covering your trade, your labour pricing, your suppliers, your quoting process today, and how you like to talk to customers. We demo the scanning app on a live room, then draft your AI brain in Claude or ChatGPT with you watching — and run a real quote through it before the call ends.
We Build Everything (usually 48 hours)
After the session: we write the full polished AI system prompt, load it into your Claude Project or ChatGPT Custom GPT and test it against real jobs, complete your VioTrade setup, build your job templates, produce your personalised pipeline document, and record your Loom walkthrough. Everything lands in your inbox, usually within 48 hours.
You Run It Independently
Open an app on your phone, speak into it, copy and paste. That's it. WhatsApp support during the post-session window means if anything feels off, we sort it. The system pays for itself the first time you use it on a real job.
Broader Business Automation
Beyond AI quoting systems, we build automation workflows for any repetitive task draining your time.
Sales Follow-Ups
A lead fills in your form. Within 60 seconds they get a personalised email and a text. If they don't reply, a follow-up goes out 24 hours later, then 3 days later. No lead falls through the cracks.

Review Collection
After every job, your customer automatically gets a review invitation via email or SMS with a direct link to Google. No awkward asking, no forgetting. Your rating climbs on autopilot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not at all. You open an app on your phone, speak into it, and copy and paste text. That's it. We've set this up for a 59-year-old plasterer who had never used an AI tool before. He now finishes at 2pm. No laptop required.
Nothing ongoing to us. The apps all have free tiers — Magicplan, Claude, ChatGPT, VioTrade. No subscriptions to Slick Digital, no retainer, no monthly fees. You own the system outright. The maths are simple: one payment, one session, then it runs for free forever.
Most customers have a working system within 3–4 days of first contact. The session itself is usually booked within 24–48 hours. We build and deliver everything within 48 hours after. By the end of the week you'll be quoting jobs in minutes.
The system is built entirely around your suppliers. We use your actual prices with your actual trade discounts. That's the whole point of the intake session — we go through every merchant you use, what you pay, and what you buy from each one. The AI knows your prices, not generic market rates.
Yes. The system prompt is a text document stored in Claude or ChatGPT. Changing a price is as simple as editing a number in a note. You don't need to contact us, and you don't need any technical knowledge. We show you how in the Loom walkthrough.
Absolutely. The AI quoting system is built around tradespeople because the problems are so acute there, but the broader automation packages cover any business doing repetitive admin — e-commerce, professional services, salons, property management. If you're doing the same task manually every week, there's almost certainly a way to automate it.
Most single-trade tradespeople fit Standard. If you're a sole trader doing one thing — plastering, decorating, gardening — Starter is usually enough. If you're running a building firm with subbies, doing commercial work, or have genuinely complex multi-trade pricing, Pro is worth it. Book a free 20-minute call if you're not sure — we'll tell you honestly which fits.
