What it does

Five things, done properly.

Built from the calculators South African builders already use — checked against SANS and Cement & Concrete SA, not guessed at.

01

Quote in minutes, not evenings.

Measure, take-off and priced quote on one screen. Stop losing jobs to whoever quotes first.

02

Count every brick, bag and lintel.

Nine SA calculators plus a window and door schedule become material orders that round up to real pack sizes — 50 kg bags, m³ of sand, bricks by the pallet.

03

Your rates. Your mark-up.

An editable rate library you own. Every saved job snapshots the rate it used, so changing a price today never rewrites last month's quote. Clients see your quoted rates — never your cost or your margin.

04

Made for South Africa.

Rand, 15% VAT, metric. Brickforce and lintel-bearing rules, prestressed-lintel stock lengths, and the mortar wastage the CCSA actually advises — built in, not bolted on.

05

Site to office.

Everything works with no signal — the app writes to the phone in your hand, not to a server you can't reach. When you have signal it syncs, so a measurement taken on site is on the office desktop by the time you're back.

Who it's for

Three people on one job.

Buyer

The owner-builder

Runs a 4–12 person firm. Quotes on evenings and weekends in a spreadsheet, and loses jobs because it takes days. Wants quotes that win work — and to stop over-ordering bricks.

Power user

The estimator / QS

Prices work for a mid-size contractor. Fights spreadsheet errors and rates that differ across the team. Wants one rate library, quick take-offs, and documents that look the part.

Daily user

The site foreman

Measures on site, on his phone, marking openings and lintels as he goes. Wants to capture once, with no signal, and have the office see it the moment he's back in range.
