The problem

Procurement still runs on spreadsheets and guesswork

Material estimates, supplier comparisons and carbon checks are usually handled by hand, across disconnected tools — and market prices move faster than the paperwork.

01

Manual estimation

Quantities are worked out by hand from drawings, which takes days and leaves room for costly errors.

02

Fragmented suppliers

Comparing prices means checking multiple supplier sites separately, so the best deal is easy to miss.

03

Price volatility

Material costs shift before procurement decisions are finalised, eroding margin on fixed-price jobs.

How it works

From drawing to procurement-ready report

One upload replaces a week of manual estimating and supplier chasing.

01 — Upload

Add your project

Upload floor plans, drawings or a spec sheet for a residential or commercial project.

02 — Generate

AI builds the BOM

SmartBuild AI reads the project and produces a detailed, quantity-accurate Bill of Materials.

03 — Compare

Suppliers, ranked

Live pricing from UK and international suppliers is compared automatically against your BOM.

04 — Decide

Order with confidence

Download a procurement-ready budget with cost forecasts, carbon scores and sustainable alternatives.

What's inside

Everything procurement needs, one platform

No more switching between spreadsheets, supplier portals and a separate sustainability tool.

AI Bill of Materials

Automatic, quantity-accurate BOMs generated straight from your drawings or specifications.

Real-time supplier comparison

Live prices pulled from multiple UK and international suppliers, ranked in one view.

Predictive cost forecasting

Machine learning flags likely price movements so you buy at the right time, not the rushed one.

Carbon footprint analysis
