The problem

The headline price is never the whole offer.

Every subcontractor structures their quote differently. Exclusions sit in covering letters, allowances hide in footnotes and scope gaps only surface after award — when they become your cost.

Every submission is different

PDFs, spreadsheets, emailed clarifications and revised quotes — none of them structured the same way, none of them comparable line for line.

Exclusions hide in the detail

A single missed exclusion on one trade package can outweigh the entire margin difference between two offers. Finding it manually depends on time you don't have.

Decision history disappears

The reasoning behind an award lives in spreadsheets, inboxes and one estimator's memory. When delivery asks "what was agreed?", the evidence is gone.

Your team's process isn't wrong — it's fragmented. Quote Level keeps the control and flexibility your estimators value, and removes the rebuilding, re-keying and lost history.

How it works

From inconsistent quotes to a clear commercial position.

Start free trial

Upload submissions

Drop in quotes, covering letters, clarifications and revisions — in whatever format they arrived. Originals are preserved, untouched.

AI levels the scope

Quote Level aligns every submission to the same scope, flags apparent exclusions and gaps, and links each finding to its source page.

Your team reviews

Verify findings, issue clarifications, add assessed allowances. Submitted and assessed positions stay separate — and every change is recorded.

Recommend & award

Prepare a recommendation backed by evidence, capture approval and carry the full record — exclusions, clarifications, reasoning — into delivery.

Source-linked evidence

Every finding, traced to the page it came from.

Quote Level doesn't ask you to trust a summary. Each identified exclusion, qualification or gap links directly to the original document — so reviewers can verify it in one click.

  • Findings cite the exact document and page
  • AI-identified items are clearly marked until a person verifies them
  • Uncertainty is shown, not hidden
  • Original submissions are always preserved

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about QuoteLevel. Still have a question? Contact our team and we’ll be happy to help.

What does QuoteLevel cost?

QuoteLevel uses a flexible, usage-based pricing model. Purchase credits when you need them and use those credits to level subcontractor quotes—without paying for unused capacity.

How accurate is QuoteLevel?

QuoteLevel provides a highly accurate first-pass comparison, but it does not replace professional judgement.

It quickly extracts, organises and compares quote information so your team can focus on scope gaps, exclusions, commercial risk and supplier selection.

How can I verify the results?

Every extracted value can be reviewed against the original quote using the Side-by-Side view.

You can see where information came from, check the surrounding context and quickly identify anything that needs further review.

Can I edit the output?

Yes. Your team can review and adjust extracted information, classifications and comparison data.

Changes are recorded so you maintain a clear audit trail of what was updated and why.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Your files and outputs are processed using strict data-isolation and privacy controls.

Your documents are not used to train public AI models. More information is available in our Security Policy.

Will QuoteLevel replace estimators or procurement teams?

No. QuoteLevel removes repetitive document review and spreadsheet administration—not professional judgement.

Your team remains responsible for assessing scope, risk, exclusions, qualifications, supplier capability and commercial value.

What file formats does QuoteLevel support?

QuoteLevel supports PDF and Excel quote documents.

It is designed to work with real-world subcontractor submissions, including inconsistent layouts, different terminology and varying levels of detail.

Can it compare quotes that use different formats?

Yes. QuoteLevel standardises information from differently structured quotes into a consistent comparison.

This makes it easier to identify scope differences, missing items, exclusions and pricing discrepancies across subcontractors.

Can QuoteLevel identify exclusions and scope gaps?

QuoteLevel helps surface exclusions, qualifications, unclear allowances and potential scope gaps that may otherwise be buried within quote documents.

Your team can then review these items, raise clarifications and determine their commercial impact.

How many subcontractor quotes can I compare?

QuoteLevel is designed to compare multiple subcontractor quotes against the same scope or bill of quantities.

This provides a consolidated view of pricing, inclusions, exclusions and areas requiring clarification.

What does QuoteLevel produce?

Depending on the project and available documents, QuoteLevel can help produce:

  • A structured quote comparison
  • Supplier-by-supplier summaries
  • A scope and inclusion register
  • Identified exclusions and qualifications
  • Clarification questions and RFIs
  • Commercial risks and areas requiring review
  • A clearer basis for supplier recommendations
Does QuoteLevel make the final supplier recommendation?

QuoteLevel can organise the evidence and highlight the commercial differences between suppliers, but the final decision remains with your team.

Supplier selection may also depend on capability, availability, previous performance, programme requirements and project-specific risk.

What happens when the AI is unsure?

QuoteLevel highlights information that may require human review rather than presenting every result with the same level of certainty.

Your team can inspect the source document, correct the information and continue the assessment with a clear understanding of where judgement is required.

How much time can QuoteLevel save?

The time saved depends on the number and complexity of the quotes, but QuoteLevel is designed to reduce hours of manual document review, data entry and spreadsheet preparation.

This allows your team to begin commercial analysis and supplier clarification much sooner.

Do I need to change my existing tender process?

No. QuoteLevel can support your existing tender and procurement process.

Upload the quote documents you already receive, review the structured comparison and use the results within your current approval and supplier-selection workflow.

Is QuoteLevel difficult to learn?

No. QuoteLevel is designed for construction professionals rather than technical users.

The workflow follows the familiar process of uploading quotes, comparing suppliers, reviewing source documents and resolving scope differences.

Can I use QuoteLevel on a live tender?

Yes. QuoteLevel can be used to accelerate the initial levelling process while your team continues to review, clarify and negotiate the tender.

The output should always be reviewed by an appropriately qualified team member before a subcontract is awarded.
